"Is the sun going to wander?", "Northern Guangzhou does not believe in tears, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai do not dry quilts."

Many southerners have issued such "spits." Since the beginning of winter, there has been a rare continuous rainy weather in most parts of southern China.

According to relevant data, this is the longest time in the 60 years since the sun was wandering.

Although the weather has gradually cleared in recent days, the rainy season will also follow.

Today, I will share with you the powder drums' mop-proof tricks and prepare for the rainy season!

Why should the drums be moisture-proof?

It is well known that jazz drums are mainly composed of wood and metal parts, while wood and metal parts are particularly susceptible to moisture.

If the drums are improperly protected from moisture, the drums will be damaged, deformed, cracked, and swelled.

In this case, how to prevent the harm caused by air humidity has become the most concerned issue for everyone.

About the film

In a humid environment, it is necessary to wipe the drum parts from time to time. For example, sweat, water, or other liquids can have a certain effect on the bracts to shorten the life of the bracts. The oil on the hands will erode the surface of the bracts and will cause the bracts to lose their luster. In the maintenance, in fact, you just need to wipe them with a towel and a professional bracts cleaner.

About screws

Make sure that the silk on the drumstick does not rust and swell. The rusting screw can use the universal descaling oil. This method has the functions of dehumidifying, rusting, lubricating, cleaning and rust prevention. Wipe the metal parts of the truss, snare drum, gong drum bracket, drum stool, etc., so that the metal surface layer will have a thin protective liquid, which can be isolated from the air and not easily oxidized.

About hi-hats

Stepping on the truss and stepping on the pedals of the hammer, where it is necessary to exercise frequently, it is necessary to have a lubricating oil at intervals to keep them in good motion. If some springs have a harsh "beep" sound, then you have to replace them.

About the drum cavity

Jazz drums account for 80% of wood materials and 20% of metal parts. Excessively humid weather can cause small drops of water on the drums, partial discoloration of the surface paint, and mildew when the moisture is severe. The wood expands due to the increased water content, which eventually causes the drum to deform and affect the tone. In the absence of condensed water or mildew, a damp-proof bag such as a desiccant can be placed near the jazz drum for moisture absorption and wiped clean with a dry towel on the outside.
