When I'm playing locally and it's my kit, I bring:
- 1-2 pairs of whatever stick I'm using at the moment
- 1 pair of mallets, I don't remember the brand, but they where cheap and I bought them about 11 years ago
- 1 pair of hotrods, I think Wincent made them
- 1-2 pair of brushes, it's been the same since forever. The Vic Firth heritage and Facus Light. I don't need to carry two, I just haven't taken one of them out and put in my long term storage bag yet, it's only been 8 years or so. But today the Facus one broke, so I didn't really need to mention them.
- Im guessing there's a pencil, drum key and a spare hi-hat clutch in there somewhere, I know there exist a metronome somewhere.

Everything that I'm not using because I don't gig. LOL
Basically just different size sticks, brushes, Jazz sticks that I never used that came with the kit that I bought and an extra drum key.
And in my late husband's bag he has mallets if I need them but I like to keep his stuff separate so I know what he touched and used as a drummer. I miss him so much.
Shalom,

Just recently discovered how much I love maple sticks so currently I have a stash of models both recently purchased and a few from years ago before I took a bit of a gigging hiatus:
Pro Mark Todd Sucherman signatures
Vater Fusion Maple
Pro Mark Finesse 5B
Vic Firth AH5B
Pro Mark Mike Portnoy 420X (wanted to try the Active Grip after a crazy amount of stick dropping at band practice before I rediscovered larger diameter maples)
Pro Mark Finesse 5A
Vic Firth AH5A
ProMark Stephen Perkins (not a fan of oak but a good option for lower volume)
Vic Firth 5A (strongly prefer maple but I had 1 pair left that wasn't totally chewed up so I kept them)
Unknown brand of light up sticks (Christmas gift from a band leader a few years ago)

New Werkens leather stick bag just came in. I'm downsizing from a very large Kaces bag. I realized I didn't need two dozen pairs of sticks for every show. Currently holding:
Vater Sugar Maple 5A x4
Zildjian 5A dip x2
Promark SD4 mallet sticks
Rods x2
I've recently switched to maple sticks and occasionally hickory dipped from zildjian when I need a little more volume but don't want to grip very hard. I've suffered from tendinitis and carpal tunnel issues and the maple sticks seem to really help. I've also come full circle after three decades of trying every model stick out there to a good ol' 5A.
Couple keys
lighter, knife, wrist brace when needed, sharpie, pen, Nick Cave sweat towel.
Extra felts, clutch etc. are now kept in my cymbal bag.
I don't put sticks in the front pouches because I like to use them for my phone, vape, tissues, and other creature comforts I take out of my pockets. The bag is rated for 10-12 pair. This will be a stretch and I would be concerned with the zipper but the leather may stretch. Not sure about the durability yet but I love the look, size, and design.

Amen to that! My bag has expanded to include small hand percussion bits, more sticks and the boatload of mallets mentioned above. I haul it in one of these cases on a heavy duty luggage cart with retractable handle.

Oh yes! I have one, but it's a different brand. Recommended by some drum gear nerd on YouTube.
