After using this key for almost three years, I've never had a problem with it. It's a great build and works great, all for under $8

Just what you need - no more no less. Excellent key.
Other reviewers have stated how fantastic this product is, and I just want to reiterate that. Most timpani keys (like Ludwig and Pearl models) are $25+. This key was $7.95 when I purchased it, and functions just as well as any of the other keys, if not having the shiny "philharmonic" look of the other ones. In a nutshell? There is not a single reason in the world to buy any other key.
I've always been confused as to why timpani keys are so expensive. I bought one of these a while back from another retailer and it has worked great, but now seeing the price on Steve Weiss, I wish I would have waited. The best reasonably priced key on the market!
It works, the timpani are in tune, it's inexpensive, and seems sturdy enough. The kind of thing an orchestral percussionist should have somewhere in his gig bag.
