 Humidifier
I have also wonder what a himidifier would do to a set. would it make the sound of the drumset more rich if i were to use a himidifier? Would it be a good idea to get one, and if so where?

You must be wearing your "Bad Idea" jeans today. As Scrogs said, dampness/humidity will corrode your hardware over time. My old Rogers kit that sat in my basement for years will attest to that. As a result, in the summer I keep a de-humidifier going every day in the basement, so my new drums stay purdy. I would imagine that shells could also warp with excessive dampness, but I'm only guessing at that one.

No you don't need a humidifier. P.O.Y!

that's almost as bad of an idea as multiband shows.

If your drums develop sleep apnea a humidifier might be a good thing, otherwise humidity can warp shells, and rust chrome.
