I am crusing for 2 weeks late July on a 41 ft Sailboat and will stop
halfway thru my trip in Bar Harbor, Me. to play drums at the Bar
Harbor jazz festival. (great to combine work and vacation). I am
wodering if any one has any ideas how I can protect my wooden snare
drum from all the moisture. I was thinking of putting it in a plastic
bag with something that absorbs moisture such as rice (like we do for
salt shakers) Any ideas? I guess I could take my metal snare instead.
thanks

i have the same concerns about my guitar and strings

i was thinking about making an fairly weather proof case and then
collecting all those stupid "do not eat" packages that you find in
pill bottles and throwing em in the case. the only problem is that i
dont know how long it would last.

i could use some ideas as well
