got about a dozen snares - if I won't be playing them for a few weeks or so, I tend to loosen totally all heads, keep em in snare bags and put away...just wondered if I even need to detune/loosen at all, or just keep heads on there at tension they were?
Does loosening for a while, then tightening, then loosening later on actually do more head stretch damage then just leaving all tuned/tightened when stored?
And does throwing in a small gel moisture absorber in the bag while storing wood snares help or dry out the wood/heads destructively, or any detriment to metal snares/hardware using gel packs over a few months?
not sure ...obviously
