Storage Question
Hey, Lee--
Leave the heads on. If I'm reading Styx correctly, he means soft gig bags at the very least. While you can stack the drums on their sides without the bags, the gig bags would help keep the drums from getting dusty and dirty. At the very least, put some kind of padding (towels, maybe?) between one drum and the other to keep the lugs from scratching or damaging your heads--and don't stack them more than three or four per stack...
If you have cymbal bags, use them. On the stands and hardware, you might be able to cover them with sheets or towels. Don't cover anything with a plastic bag; they could trap moisture that could lead to pitting or corrosion on your stands...
Hope that helps ya, man...and I hope you don't have to wait too long to get back behind your drums!
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
