I've dropped and broken my sticks more than a thousand times already during a gig... It's very helpful if you can hang your stick bag on the floor tom. Para at least natural yung pag grab ng extra stick. I also used to keep my backpack standing on my left side. beside the hi-hat stand. An extra stick peeps out of the zipper.
Then I got the Pro-Mark Stick Depot last Christmas...
You can clip it to any stand.Mas madali na ngayon kumuha ng extra stick for my left hand.
I also have the Gibraltar 9608VA. It's a throne with velcro attachment at the back. You can hang a towel, drink holder, and sticks too! Pero i don't hang my sticks at the throne kasi hindi natural sa akin yung pagkuha ng extra stick sa likod.
