I think you should put down your instruments, go find a few desks, sit down together in your garage and learn to spell. - Sun, 18 Dec 2005 12:19am

constant heat fluctuations arent the best for drums (or anygear) becuase when things heat up they expand and contract when they cool and different materials do that a different rates so it can be bad with drums the plies possibly serperating

but for drums humitidty is worse very easliy warping the drums

get a humidifier and a space heater and the gear should be okay
also get some thick insulation that could possibly double as sound proofing and you should be set - Mon, 19 Dec 2005 12:52pm

i think Dave means 'dehumidifier' not 'humidifier', the plan is for less moisture right?
depending if there is a moisture problem to start with. you might be able to get away with using a heater alone. but be carefull leaving shitty fan type heaters unattended for long periods of time. - Tue, 20 Dec 2005 10:05am
