Might I add, a set of allen keys, needle nose pliers and an A 440 tuning fork are essential components to my gig bag. If one must ask about the toilet paper then clearly one has never played the club scene I am familiar with. Also, toilet paper and a bit of duct tape can be employed to cut down on drum ring in those clubs with tile floors and tin ceilings.
