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.
