    Default Tuning Key for Remo Djembe

    I bought a used Remo key tuned djmebe. It did not come with a tuning key. A regular drum key works, but is too short to be used efficiently. What would you suggest?

    Thanks in advance.

    I did the same thing. I went to the local music store and bought a long drum key that was about 3" long and has a Tee handle. It works great. Sorry I don't have the name of the key cause I threw away the packaging.

    Thanki you. I found one of these at GC last week. It is a major improvement. If I had to replace the head, it would not be as efficient as I would like, but for re-tuning the head, it is great.

    And don't forget the good ol machine drill bit:


    Not for fine-tuning but it works so darn quick. I have three of them.
