I have been using the large pocket on my cymbal bag to carry all my sticks, mallets, drum key, a pack of rivets, and a few shakers. I also keep a set of moongels with me, but they tend to bounce between that pocket and the interior of my snare bag.

Is this a stick bag?? or a stick duffel bag? Ha Ha, I'm currently taking drum lessons from the drummer for Sixpence None The Richer. He has a bag full of all kinds of goodies. So I'm guessing more stuff/being prepared is better, but I typically pack a few pairs of promark 7a nylons/woods, P.M 2B, brushes, lighting rods, and a pair of cymbal mallets.

Its always smart to carry an extra drum key, and some form of muffling. Definitely a roll of duck tape should be in every drummers bag!!

I think the basic answer is at 2 pairs spare sticks of what you play, mallets, brushes, some keys. Minimum.

Two spare 7B nylon pair sticks, one pair Zildjian goatskin soft mallets {the ones with the other end hard rubber balls}, a pair of the soft brushes that are tubed for storage {not slid out of a handle}, needed kit wrenches. I also carry a couple screwdrivers, a slip-joint plier, duct and electric tape rolls. Never know when the sound or a guitar goes west. I also carry a drummer's cheat sheet pamphlet of alternate beats to refer to, but I really never used it much. Smokes, a 1/2 pint, that was it.

Naah - it's not really that much.  The parts & tools are small (just a couple of sleeves & keys - tiny flashlight, etc.), and they fit into the external pockets.  Ther Korg is the largest of the doo-dads and it's only the size of a deck of cards!  The rest are just sticks! 

I don't bring both bags when I go out - just the one that I need for the gig.  However, they're both loaded up with the kind of "oops!" stuff I might need along the way.

I also have a small drum repair kit in the car - there's more stuff in there!

Wow, that's alot invested in those two bags. I need to stock up haha. I don't think I keep enough sticks in my bag. I use those same musser mallets, they are great! Same with the wire brushes, I use the vic firth ones too, but I think I could use some new ones.
