How to store drums. Need to rent a storage place, does it need to be climate controlled?
My goddaughter has a DW custom pro drum set that she needs to store as well as a travel kit. Her mom insists that the DW set needs to be stored climate controlled now in the summer to prevent damage, but I'm having trouble finding such a place near where I live. Many here get by advertising "climate control" because they are heated in the winter.

Any ideas? TIA

(I've got a thread from nearly a year and a half ago at the bottom of this page.)

1. Many (MANY) years ago, a drummer friend kept his Ludwigs stored on an
enclosed but not heated porch. The bass drum warped. We have incredible temperature differences and very high humidity here, and the set was laminated wood. I don't know what materials your drums et is made from, but I'd call the customer service department of the manufacturer to be safe.
