Well, did the "gig" and no ill effects noted. They even want me back next week, so I guess I didn't stink up the place too bad...lolMlvibes addressed my concerns exactly! Thanks Bill.I know what I put this kit through back in the day. But, we are both alot older now, and I know I feel the cold more than I used to. My thought was that those 60+ year old drums may as well.I also subscribe to Tgregorek's theory too! Just showing the kit some compassion for the years of faithful service.Oh, and Dhack. Yeah, I'm sure the attic was a hostile area for those drums, but I would think the temperature changes there, though extreme, were gradual. Going from room temperature to 15 degrees in seconds is what concerned me most. As for the "Stillers"... Where we held the session yesterday was a long rifle shot from the Jets (Giants) stadium. But, since I don't follow football at all I really could not care less about their loss. Now, when it comes to the Yankees however, well, there we can talk....lolThanks again for all the responses!
