Parts and accessories to bring along
You should not have to wait for the unexpected to happen. Some items to bring along are just out of common sense such as extra drum sticks, snare and bass drum head, even an extra drum key. Not so obvious items would be an extra kick pedal, spring for kick pedal assembly, rug, small portable toolkit, duct tape, a permanent marker, and any leftover bolts and lugs that could be used on the equipment in time of need. If you are using an electronic drum set, you will want to bring extra instruments cords, electrical extension cord, direct box for the PA, and if need be, drum triggers.
Save yourself
Save yourself time, money, and embarrassment by being prepared. Make the effort to be organized and ready to meet any challenges that may surface. Your band mates, club owners, and studio engineers will thank you.
