Humidity and Drums

[PsyCoNo]

Hey all, I just bought a new set of Tama Starclassics and I've been keeping them set up in the basement. When I go down there it seems really humid, the hardware on my last set seemed to 'pit' aweful fast. Is there anything I should be worried about with this new set and high humidity? (I know I should buy a dehumidifier, gotta pay the drums off first) thanks

In the mean time, I would store them somewhere nice and temperature regulated that isnt so moist. Just my 2

yeah, i'd strongly advise keeping your set somewhere very dry. i have mine in my basement but i have a dehumidifier so it is probably the best room in the house to keep it now.

My friend had his set in his garage, he bought it brand new, it was a crappy set in the first place, but its nearly in peices because he kept there. i bought my set used and its still in the same condition (almost). doesnt matter what set you have, keep it somewhere where nature cant have its effect on it.

thanks... I'll be getting a dehumidifier soon
