What's in Your Bag?

Although my setup got bigger over the years, my stickbag scaled down haha. Not using other sticks, hotrods or brushes at the moment.
I use a Vic Firth Essential Stick Bag which hold 4-5 pairs of sticks. I 'mount' it on my snare so i have easy access to it from both sides.
Since i switched to 2B's this year i have 3 pairs in my bag; 2 reserve and one pair that i use.
Oh and a drumkey is in it as well.
 
Since I am just starting on drums, I only have sticks, no mallets or brushes yet.

3 pair Trilock Gurutu Zildjian sticks
2 pair Trilock Rock sticks
2 pair Zildjian 5a dip sticks
2 pair Promark 747 hickory
2 drum keys
metronome
 
my drum set bag (old black and yellow Drumslinger) has:

Vic Firth 3A's
Jeff Hamilton brushes
old Vater Acousticks

concert band/community band bag (big ol' Innovative Percussion) has:
a ton of Innovative Percussion keyboard mallets
old Black Swamp bamboo shaft tympani mallets of all weights
Zildjian Steve Houghton brushes with the puffy thing on the end for cymbal rolls
Cooperman Graham C John's snare sticks
Innovative Percussion Lalo Davila snare sticks
 
A variety of VF Jazzsticks (Some thicker, some thinner, wood and nylon-tips), two pairs of RegalTip Brushes, Rohema Mallets, Regal Tip Rods, Tama Drumkey, Sizzlechain, Moongels, inears and earplugs.
 
I have about 20 pairs of sticks, and no stick bag.

I have looked, and am undecided.
 
Vic Firth 5A's, but only because I wanted something besides my stock Alesis sticks, I'm not yet familiar with the pros/cons of other brands, and consumer reviews made them sound the most useful for beginners.
 
Five pairs of Vater Recording sticks
One pair of Promark brushes
Earplugs
Drum key
Metronome
Pencil + eraser
 
I need a stick bag, but on my shelf next to the kit I have two keys, 2 pair of 5A sticks, a pair of bamboo brushes, a roll of duct tape and a package of jelly style dampeners (there about the size of 1/2 dollars) and a Metronome.

Since I don't have to carry my bag anywhere I just put my brand-new sticks in there.
3 pairs Vic Firth 7A American Classic
1 pair of Vic Firth 5A

Then right aside of me when I'm drumming I have a pair of Vater 7A and Vic Firth 7A (2 pairs of my favorite sticks).
