Guys... Dun get too carried away with the dehumidifier thingy unless you have a lot of expensive guitars, electronic instruments, piano or very high-end drum kit... Of coz having a dehumidifier is great and one advice... don't just go and buy e cheapest coz it might not be sufficient for your room. Check out your room's floor area before u go shop for it.
For guys w entry level drumkit the hippo thing should do the job. Having said, if u have spare cash $400 to $800 depending on room size... by all means get one...
It is also true that if the room is too dry... it will do more harm then good. The drum shell might delaminate from the finish... U do not need to turn on your dehumidifier everyday... Maybe 2 or 3 times a week should be OK. leave it on overnight as usually it get moist in the night. Of coz when u on e dehumidifier make sure the room is closed up... shut all windows and close the room door.

Hi all,
I almost bought a dehumidifier too. But decided to save on it until I get my own house. But after reading all the above I think I should get one real soon...
I'm a bit confused. different ppl said different things here.
So is there air more moist in the afternoon or at night?
Now a bit regretting leaving my DW snare drum in church... The aircon is only on max 2 days in the hall!
Any way of reversing the possible "damage" alr done to my drum?

Here ya go:
RELATIVE HUMIDITY: Diurnal range in the high 90's in the early morning to around 60 % in the mid-afternoon. Mean value is 84%, During prolonged heavy rain, relative humidity often reaches 100 %.

If there's any damage, it's just cosmetic. It's not going to be serious unless there's a dampness issue in your church. If the surrounding furniture has not rotted or become mouldy, you drum will survive.
First casualty is usually the hardware, which should be easy to polish up.
Remember to lube/oil your tension rods
