a pair of ludwig brushes
some really heavy duty zildjian yarn mallets
a pair of Erskine's sigs for jazz

a pocket knife
a couple keys (one on the keychain too, whoever said it gets chicks is right...)

I don't know what's my problem but I'm completly hooked on the 747N from Promark, I've been playing with those for more than a decade. Does somebody suffers from the same?

I don't use my stick back for the sticks I actually use. :D
I just have some random sticks in the back, mostly just random models I don't use or tried at one time and sticks without a pair.

The sticks I use (Promark 5A Oaks w/ nylon tips) are sitting on the floor beside my kit.

[KzSgDrummer]

Since it would probably take a thousand words to describe it, here's a picture instead:



Obviously this is for percussion gigs along with drumming, and I usually empty out a lot of the stuff for drum set gigs.
