    Excellent tips. The only thing I'd do differently is use *Lithium Grease* (the cream, not spray) on the tension rods *instead of Vaseline,* because Vaseline will liquify in heat & not withstand temperature changes. Lithium Grease, on the other hand, is made for metal on metal contact & helps prevent rust & oxidation.

    Hey Jeff, thanks for the in-depth suggestions and tips! I have a question about your setup: in the past, I also used to put my rack tom on a snare stand. However, over time and with an increasing understanding of accoustics, I'm finding that it noticeably takes away from the tom's tone. Granted, I don't have a top-tier kit such as your Sakae, but I wonder if you A/B-tested this setup vs. hanging it from a proprietary tom-arm. If so, did you notice a significant difference there in terms of tonal quality? Thanks again and keep up the great content!

    Hi. Thanks for this informative information. I'm planning to get a new kit and this is very helpful for taking care of the drums. I have question. Is there an ideal temperature or humidity for a room? I read some discussions in reddit and most of them say that extreme temperature is bad and it will damage the drum shell. I live in Chicago and most weather here is cold Im wondering if how do you keep the temperature in a room so that the drum shell is in good condition? Both in hot and cold weather. I hope you can help me with this. Thank you..
