The Slapstik This is a normal drumstick with the flexible plastic bit on the back end. This allows you to play the downstroke as well as the upstroke so you can get fast high hat patterns with one stick. You can think of it as a double bass drum pedal for high hat. It also has an interesting sound when used on a snare. Slapstik |

Mighty Morphin Drum Heads This is a picture of the same drum head, just taken at different angles. Just think, you can have these guys
watch you play drums. Chosen Fat Co., Ltd. |

Flaming Djembes Batman! I kind of like the flames but I'm not quite sure that the fluorescent green really goes with them. Pearl Drums |

Oooh, Shiny These are like the Factory Metal cymbals from the 2004 Oddities with the addition of a cool finish. They sound just as nasty as the others too but they're not made for tone, just for looks. Trick Drums USA |
Slick Kick Pedal Trick Drums were also showing a new kick pedal. Made from CNC machined materials and using sealed bearings, these pedals are extremely well made. They are also precisely adjustable. Trick Drums USA |

Sex, Drums, and Rock 'n Roll Hmmm, ribbedsticks, gripsticks, wrapped in tight fitting animal prints? There's got to be an 80's hair-metal band joke in there somewhere. Xcel Drumsticks |
Drum Set Artistry I thought that they just did a beautiful job on this kit. What spouse could compain about these in the living room? Cadeson Musical Co., Ltd. |

Metropolis Drums This is one of several custom paint jobs featured on the drums in Craviotto's booth. This one was actually done by drummer/artist Prairie Prince. Craviotto Drum Company |
Stealth Kit In the TRX Cymbals booth I found these very stealthy drums. I believe they are made with purpleheart wood. These had a flat black stealth fighter look to them. Drums for North America |

Wedgie Washers No, I'm not talking about someone who launders your underwear, it's an alternative to felt cymbal washers. In theory these will let your cymbals ring better because they have fewer points of contact. Wedgie |
Sound Shapes This is an erector set for percussion. I'd be surprised if the Blue Man Group haven't already bought a pile of this stuff. Remo Inc. |

Literacy for Drummers It's always a good idea to encourage drummers to read… anything. If it were my kit, I'd have to have them put on old issues of The Onion. Odery Drums |
Two In One This is a practice pad with a built-in metronome. They offer some options having do to with the pad but I'm not quite sure what "choose freely various rigidity drum pad" actually means. Eno Music Co., Ltd. |
