Every time I pack my drums for a gig, I also pack my emergency drum repair kit. It's a little sectioned plastic box I purchased at a hardware store. Inside it I keep felt washers, cymbal thread sleeves, wingnuts, pedal straps, drum keys, an extra high-hat clutch, snare tape or wires, moongel or moleskin for drum head dampening, a multi-bit screwdriver, pliers, an eXacto-knife, wire cutters, bandaids, and a bottle opener. I also keep on hand super glue, nine-volt batteries, guitar picks, a guitar cord, and an old guitar strap. Your bandmates will thank you for saving their bacon on the oft occasion when they forget something. A little preparation makes for a more enjoyable gig. What do you have in your repair kit that I've forgotten? -V- CommentsLeave a Reply | Vince Adáme | Bass & Drums
