Drumming Tip 2)
Pack spares of everything, from spare beaters for the kick drum, to snare tuning rods to your snare. Better yet have a spare snare and kick pedal alongside you when on stage.

Drumming Tips 5)
Get a metronome and acquire used to playing the songs in a set speed every night - there's nothing worse compared to drummer enjoying himself a great deal he increases, or conversely, slows all of the songs because he had a slight late one the last night.
Rehearse using the band while using metronome, write down the tempo's of each song, and even use the metronome to count yourself in on gig night, it really does work wonders. Plus, the metronome doesn't lie - try not to tell the singer!
