The new Tama Tension Watch has gotten some serious improvements over her foregoing version. The Tension Watch measures the head tension and and shows it on a meter. The new version is called the Tama TW200, and all its features supersede the older TW100 version.
Upwarding Dial The most practical feature is probably that the dial is facing up now, instead of showing the tension on a vertical meter.
Position Gauge Ring It also has a Position Gauge Ring. This makes tuning even more easy, because the fixed distance on the drumhead to the hoop is the same everywhere when placing it against the hoop.
Detractable Tip The last, but just as important feature is the Detractable Tip; to ensure the safety of the 'gauge tip' during travel, it is now possible to retract it after tuning your drums.
We can't make it any clearer or faster than this. Check the product images and the photos we took at the Musik Messe in Frankfurt to see the new details up close.
