Evans DAPCK Drum Key<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Evans DAPCK Drum Key<\/strong> is far more than just another drum tuning key<\/strong>. Thanks to its integrated cable system<\/strong>, head changes<\/strong> can be done in record time<\/strong>. Old heads are loosened in no time, new ones tuned up and ready to go in a matter of seconds. And of course, with the square socket on the underside, you can still use it like a completely standard tuning key. One you should always have with you!<\/p>\n\n\n

tc electronic M100<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is this new? The answer is a very clear \u201cyes and no\u201d! The first generation of the tc electronic M100<\/strong> dates back to 2019. Thanks to its excellent effects quality<\/strong>, with easy access to the most popular standard effects and their key parameters, it was extremely popular. However, the stereo multi-effects processor<\/strong> has not been available for several years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it finally returns in a new edition<\/strong>, now also featuring MIDI for parameter switching and firmware updates. This belongs in every rack, from the home studio to the biggest stage!<\/p>\n\n\n
