Hey Guys,
I got back into a band that has a van and trailer and keeping all the gear in trailer between gigs a very convenient. I have not yet kept my drums in the trailer because I would like to hear some opinions.
I have kept some other kits in a trailer in the past with other bands and did not notice any deterioration (with the exception of cymbals and snare, they always came home with me) but I worry more about my vintage Ludwigs which are in great condition. I am gigging with them but want keep them as nice as possible.....I'm a player not a collector.
What is worse for drums, humidity (too dry or too wet) or Temp (too high or too low)?
I live in southeastern PA and it is now around 11 degrees out side and in the summer the temp in a trailer would easily hit the low 100s.
I keep the drums in Protection Racket cases if that makes any difference.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Keith
