I really think these will be a thing in a hundred years
And people will still tell you to just do it by ear...

Maybe this already exists but for floor tom drum cases, a side pocket to put your floor tom legs, preferable with a three-way pocket for each leg. If you are using memory locks, you can't flatten them out together with the tom and you don't want the unattached legs sloshing around inside the case so it usually goes in another gear bag which is sort of dumb.
The pocket to hold the legs would have to be longer/higher/wider than the case, either vertically or horizontally and would make it awkward to carry and transport.
You know what, I was just wishing that there was a floor tom leg case/bag that rolled up like one of those knife sheath things.Maybe this already exists but for floor tom drum cases, a side pocket to put your floor tom legs, preferable with a three-way pocket for each leg.

I agree.15” floortoms should definitely be widely available.
I'd just love to see more size variation across the board in midlevel lines. Back in the early 2000s, you could get Exports, Sessions, Stage Customs, Force 3003s, Accent CS Custom Elite, etc. in a multitude of diameters/depths and build a truly custom setup. Now everything is either prepackaged shell packs only, or offers very limited size variation.15” floortoms should definitely be widely available.
Customisable cymbal and shell packs whilst retaining cost benefits.
More 13” snares plus more wood varieties - as you can buy any metal under the sun these days.
Bring back bad boy counter-weighted boom stands, I like to see large lumps of unnecessary black steel on my cymbal stands that won’t budge in a hurricane.
It kind of exists now but way back before it was a thing I wanted a drum module that can load your ownI've only been playing for a very short time now, but even still, there are two pieces of gear I wished existed:
1. Promark Natural 5As with an ACORN tip (I personally don't like the feel, sound or look of the teardrop shape)
2. A drum throne that has both a swivel and a lock feature (meaning you can make stop swiveling if you would like). I don't know if it's even possible but hey
Those are two pieces of gear that I wished were a thing.
What about you? Are is there anything drum gear related that you wished companies made?
Changeable finishes. Like a knob that you turn that goes from black to white and has every color in between. There is another knob for fades, one for glitters, one for flat/matte/gloss. No hard work, just turn some knobs.

I have an idea that is similar, sort of. Inspired by George Jetson:Trapezoid shaped drums (top view) that allow a lot of toms to be placed next to each other in a curved pattern around the drummer
