or a full blown " Drummers Suit " with all the built in Acoutre' ments so to speak.. Key on the Knee, I hate the way they vibrate when left on a lug..It could have stick thigh brackets for easy in reach pick up when dropping a stick. and built in ear monitors , and body cam.
Putting them on the bass drum will wear away the finish as they move with playing. I always use a clamp on either my high hat stand or my mic stand. No equipment damage then.
For most gigs I use a stick quiver on my snare. I rarely drop sticks, and don't chop through them. Two pairs - one in my hands, and one in the quiver - is usually enough. I only bring a stick bag if the gig calls for a variety of textures; sticks, brushes, mallets, rods, etc.
For sticks on the kick, they are going to shift with each note. Old school is to stick them between tension rods. Can get a little ugly with multiple pairs. Or use a spring/coil holder that clamps to the hoop. There are few kick mounted stick holders on the market based on the latter.
Gibraltar makes a clamp on model.
There are also molded foam options like this...
I have no room for that, there is one of me two cowbells here, but the system is great I think!!
First time I saw this thing, looked like a brilliant idea. Then I saw they cost $25. I figure it can’t cost more than a buck or two to manufacture. I’m not going to buy something so ridiculously overpriced.

This is my method. I have my stick bag nearby to replenish the tube between songs, were I to somehow run out of those.
I do put my mallets on my kick drum, for the few times that I do a cymbal swell. They don't move at all on my main kit, on my smaller kit they do bounce around a little, but its still no worry.
