Members Mogwix Posted December 15, 2012 Members Share Posted December 15, 2012 I don't have a trailer (or van) dedicated to audio gear, so all of my stuff gets unloaded after every show. I wouldn't have any qualms with leaving drums in the trailer, though. Just make sure you give them an hour or so to acclimate in the venue before you start trying to play them. Give them a quick tuning and they'll play just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StratGuy22 Posted December 15, 2012 Members Share Posted December 15, 2012 No room. I thought there might be. If I dont bring lights and truss there is. But I always brings lights n truss... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ibanez270 Posted December 15, 2012 Members Share Posted December 15, 2012 The drummer leaves his drums in my trailer. He never tunes them and they sound like {censored} on stage. He uses triggers so they sound great out front. I wish he would tune his drums. I even said one time "how would you like it if I didn't tune my guitar" He just looked at me. What can ya do.

Members lsits Posted December 15, 2012 Members Share Posted December 15, 2012 Here's my take: I wouldn't keep my drums in a trailer unless it could be parked in a secure location. Inside a garage or behind a locked fence. Nothing to do with the climate, just security. Of course, being in southern California, extreme cold is not an issue. The temps in August can soar to over 110 degrees though. I would bet that it could probably get to 120 or 130 inside the trailer. I wouldn't want to have my drums exposed to that kind of heat.
