Is there an optimum climate and temperature condition for the v-drums? My studio gets sort of hot at times and I don't want to hurt my "investment", any thoughts? I'm sure it is somewhere in the manual, but I don't have time to look. Thanks

My studio is in a warm part of town, it gets really hot since we are a one story building with a flat roof and during the summer it gets to be 90-100 degrees outside and much hotter inside. I have not experienced any problems with my Simmons SDS-7 nor my TD-8 (although I have Hart products and I’ve been told by Hart that heat or moisture – such as sweat will not hinder the performance) do to the warmth in the studio, although the humidity factor comes to mind – that is a different story. When we played a couple of times in Florida, I did not experience any issues with my edrums (nor my module's) in the humidity of Florida – however I don’t live there so I cant comment how the humidity factor will or will not affect the TD's over a period of time.
We do have an industrial air conditioner installed in our studio, so have relive for the very hot days and I would recommend the use of one – otherwise it get to hot to even play.

thanks Svook,
I have A/C in my studio as well, however, I see you are in California, so the question is, will you turn it on? I am in Northern Ca and will probably just deal with the heat. That is what prompted my question. But if you made it through Florida with no problems, my V-Session will probably make it. Thanks for the info.

Actually, our air conditioner was broken last summer and I had to make do with a fan only for about a month and a half. It was very hot that summer and I hand no issues with my TD-8 at all – and I played it about 6-8 hours per day for that span of time, in hot weather.
Roland does make their products to withstand the situation brought forth and I can confirm that. Even when we were on the road and played a lot of outdoors shows during the day in hot weather, the TD-8 was working flawlessly. We have a lot of Roland gear and all of them work without any issues. We have a Roland TR303 and a TR909 that we have owned since I got them in 1982 and they have not failed YET under any condition so far.
I think you will be fine regardless of you conditions.
