Innovative and intuitive percussion

We handed a Keytam Original to musicians and percussionists from various backgrounds to get their first impressions.

A 100% customizable instrument

A skin tensioned by a lever, with options you can add to modulate your sound: snare, dampener, or cymbals, customize your instrument as needed.

A multitude of elements glued, magnetized, or placed on the skin change the Keytam’s tone into surprisingly different registers. Sometimes reminiscent of a double bass, other times a drum set, the acoustic instrument with its magnets flirts with electronic sounds and grooves.
