The Vic Firth VICKEY is a cast-metal drum key with a standard square socket, compatible with the tension rods on snare drums, tom-toms, bass drums, and most other drum kits and percussion instruments. A detachable lanyard with a quick-release mechanism keeps the key close at hand at all times, worn around the neck or clipped to a belt or bag, and detaches instantly for quick, easy use. The VICKEY features Vic Firth's logo embedded in the key handle, doubling as a practical tool and a recognisable accessory for percussion shop staff, drum instructors, and touring drum technicians.
