My weekend band stopped gigging in February after one of the members had a major bereavement.
We've cancelled all our gigs since then, but we're due to start playing again next month, which I'm really looking forward to.
The drums haven't been out of their cases for 10 months (I've practised on a Roland kit at home since then).
A simple question really about re-tuning the drums (which are reasonably high-end).
Would you:
a. Loosen everything off and start from scratch.
b. See if they've de-tuned or not, and simply fine tune back into shape.
I've never had this long a break from a particular kit before and I'd be interested to know what forum members would do.
Cheers
