Best Overall: onstage cup holder

Buy on Amazon

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a holder. The onstage cup holder is exactly that - it's a simple holder that hits all the right notes. This is a great, sturdy, and well made drum stick holder for any kit. The bag fits nicely on the hi-hat at an angle between the hi-hat cymbal and pedal. It is deep enough to securely hold the sticks and shallow enough to leave plenty of stick in view. The extension arm is angled downward at 45 degrees for easy removal/placement of your sticks while playing. The angle is perfect to get the sticks out quickly & easily with one hand while playing.

The mount is wonderful, and will adjust to a lot of different sized hardware. The product is built well, and attaches easy to your drum rack. The clamp is fully-adjustable so can be attached to any sized stand.

• Works well and hangs on to your stand
• Fits easily onto cymbal stand and, importantly, holds in place during performances
• Easy to install and it holds sticks
• Simple, effective, inexpensive way to keep your sticks close at hand

Best For musician: Promark Drum cup holder

Buy on Amazon

The promark drum cup holder might be a relatively new release, but it's still nothing short of impressive this year, thanks to multiple price cuts and added new features over the past few months. It offers a wide variety of accessories to meet the needs of any drummer/percussionist. It attaches almost anywhere and is a quick and easy way to grab a stick when needed. It is easy to grab a backup pair of sticks in a hurry. The durable plastic design holds at least 4 drum sticks that can be easy mounted/clamped to various stands of the drum set.

The large size of the "chip-clip" the stick holders are attached to limit the angles to which they can be rotated. It is loose and will fall off easily. It is easy to use and position on any symbol stand. Each chamber is a little tight for a pair of rock drumsticks (5A or 5B types) but works well enough.

• Easy to place on hi-hat vertical bar and other parts
• Stays put and the clip is as simple as it gets
• Works great on guitar hero drum stand

Best With No problem: Luvay Drum cup holder

Buy on Amazon

The luvay drum cup holder should be able to handle its purpose and duties with ease. For standing, you need to get a concert snare stand, this one is designed to be used sitting down, like behind a drum set. It comes with double braced tripods. It’s just like a snare stand that will adjust. The little stick holder is also very handy to have.

This stand does not have all the bells and whistles of the Tama stand, it's not as heavy, and doesn't feel as solid. It can hold the snare level, the tilted pick (arm) and the angle is just for photo, easier to see. The stand is more or less the same as any snare stand but not as high quality. It is a solid option for practicing.

• Delivers what they promise
• New and hot release

Best For soft drinks: Vater Drum cup holder

It's a very heavy weight so not flimsy at all and easily holds wider drink bottles and all 12 or 160z cans.
