^^^wow that's a lot of stuff

I use my stickbag mainly for sticks and to hold one of my drumkeys. All my other accessories are in my eliminator case.

Stickbag:
(4) Vic Firth 5b
(1) Ahead 5b
(1) ProMark Retractable Brushes
(1) Vater Whips (I go through hot rods like a pedophile in a playground)(maybe that was a bad analogy...)
(1) Mike Balter Yarn Mallets
Earplugs earplugs earplugs...

Pedal Case:
Cams for Eliminators
Chains for Eliminators (I switched to belt drive)
(8) Drumkeys - Various Pearl, Mapex, Ludwig... (Hey, it's always good to have a spare right?)
Felts
Washers
Wingnuts
Nylon Cymbal Sleeves
Moongel (idk why, because I never use the stuff)

Allen Keys
Sharpie for autographs (once again idk why, because I never seem to use it...) :-)
Boss Metronome
Spare 9V batteries
Spare Hi-Hat clutch
Piano polishing cloth (is excellent for drum shells and hardware!!!)

There's probably more, but I haven't navigated my way to the bottom in quite some time. There's probably some weed, some crack, and maybe the mexican I smuggled across the border last summer; I always seem to lose track of where I put them... :-D

Edit: To avoid confusion, the drug part was a joke. I stay away from that stuff!
