Rolling Rocker
It looks like Lou Dog has graduated from three-wheeled constructs to the four-wheeled variety. It appears that this one comes with the optional Asian rocker girl.
I could picture a whole golf cart-mounted J-Rock band chasing Huey Lewis or Hootie & the Blowfish around the course.

Messing With Impressionable Young Minds
What's the deal with the drum/golf theme? The kick shows a Santa holding a golf club. My favorite bit is the maniacal reindeer on the mid tom tipping one back. (click on the picture to see the kit in all its glory)

Soul In The Machine
The Pintech booth contained a small portion of the percussion performance rig for band Soul In The Machine. These drums not only triggered sounds but also lit up when you hit them. With all the polished stainless steel, it was quite a sight.
Nice Rack
If you're not so much into the stainless steel look, there's this wood rack system. I do like the way this compliments the rest of kit, certainly better than chrome fence effect that you normally get with standard rack.
Unfortunately, there was sign on this stated that it was a "one of a kind" item so don't expect to see this at GC anytime soon.

Spin Art
With a set of these drum cases you're unlikely to get your stuff mixed up with the other drummers at the same gig, especially if you opt for the orange and white melted 50/50 bar color scheme.

Clamp-It
Come and listen to a story about a stand named Jed...
This handy device allows singing drummers to get by with one less floor stand. It also assures that the mic position is always correct.
