Star Wars Lore
Droopy McCool, or Snit, was a member of the Max Rebo Band. He was a Kitonak from the planet Kirdo III, and played a flute made from a hollow chidinka plant from his home planet. It is unclear how Snit left Kirdo III, but he reached Ovrax IV with a slaver company. A melancholic Kitonak, he longed for the companion of others of his species.

It was on Ovrax IV that Snit was bought by an Evar Orbus. Orbus was the lead voice of a music group, Evar Orbus and His Galactic Wailers, also featuring Max Rebo and Sy Snootles. However, Orbus would rather say that he "hired" Snit instead of buying him. Snit's belly was big enough to hide his legs, and partner Rebo was envious of what he considered a great feeding.

Snootles was fond of Snit. Due to the Kitonak's natural patience, Snit could listen to the singer's complains and thoughts for hours without saying a word, and then he would gently soothe her pains and fears. "Snooty" believed that it was Snit who kept the group together. Orbus got a contract with Chalmun to play music on his cantina, on Tatooine. He led the group to Tatooine, but they were ambushed there by a group of Biths, who attacked the group. Orbus confronted the attackers and died in the attempt, while the rest of the group ran away. Then, Snit declared that he was unsatisfied with his name and wanted a stage name. Snootles wanted to help him, but then Snit chose a new name in Kitonese that even her vocal apparatus could not reproduce. She convinced him to accept the stage name she would made up, Droopy McCool. His stage name was fitting, referring to his "cool" personality.

The group was re-Christened The Max Rebo Band, now only under Rebo's wing. This new incarnation was discovered by Jabba the Hutt's talent scout and majordomo, who got them an audition with Jabba himself. Jabba was impressed with The Rebo Band and offered Rebo a life contract in exchange of all the food they could eat.
