I don't keep any drum keys in my bag, cause I keep them on my key chain which stays on me at all times. I strongly recommend that you other guys keep a drum key on your key chain or otherwise in plain view. When girls ask about them and you explain it's a drum key and you're a drummer.. it's MUCH better than any pickup line.
