another disregarded drum component is the drum key. imagine bringing all the cymbals and drum gear you could, and your most precious ear-popping snare only to find out that the bass drum and toms sound like [gooey brown stuff]. hassle un! swerte mo pag meron silang drum key or kahit pliers pero pag wala, ansakit sa tenga! madalas ko tong nararanasan dati kaya lagi na kong nagdadala ng drum key sa mga gigs and even rehearsals
