Vic Firth designed its VICKEY ("Vic" + "key") for two kinds of drummers: those who always need to have a drum key handy, and those who want to make a statement. The cast-metal VICKEY is equal parts tool of the trade and fashion accessory. The included lanyard with quick-release mechanism keeps this key close to your heart or hip at all times - great for percussion shop clerks, drum instructors, and touring drum techs. And the VICKEY's stylish Celtic cross design is an easy way to let others know you're with the band.
