Get your gear in shape for 2024! A Comprehensive Guide by Chops Percussion
Now is a great time to do some general equipment maintenance and cleaning that can ensure you are ready for the busy months ahead. Having your students actively participate in this process will help them take pride over equipment that will be used long after they leave your program and can help the process move along faster and seem less overwhelming.
Below are some quick and easy tips for making sure your gear is in top shape to start the new year:
- Take an inventory of all your equipment at the end of each semester.
- Clean all equipment using a soft cloth to remove any dirt or grime that has built up over time. A small amount of diluted rubbing alcohol can help remove major build-up.
- Inspect your instruments for any missing parts.
- Check for broken or damaged areas on your equipment that may require repair or replacement.
- Ensure that all frame bolts, nuts, carrier parts, etc. are at the correct tightness.
- Cover all instruments daily and keep small instruments stored properly. Don’t leave equipment on the truck for long periods of time.
