Well I'm no expert ... but I would think the wood used would be very dense
.... perhaps so dense as to be as good as impervious to the humidity?

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

thanks everyone
It is great to see how many boater have musical instruments on board.
Really cool. As for me, I just got another call to do a dixieland gig
at a club that is on the water just about 2.5 hours away. Hope I can
find some dock space near by. I don't worry to much on these one
nighters about the drums.
it seems that a lot of us have the same concerns about our intruments.
Would love to hear more.
