Amp-mounted beer/drink holders?

Beer holder on an amp? Why not also add a small fountain. Or something to cook a chicken.
couldn't resist

I put a mic style tray on my Hercules triple guitar stand. The triple is well balanced and the tray holds any kind of drink plus other things like a phone or whatever.

I really don't want any water/moisture or on around the amp.
I also have one of these on my music stand: beverage, batteries, picks, phone with app for the personal monitor mix, towel, etc.

I use the same triple stand and never thought of this. Thanks! I just ordered one.

Mic stand attachments don't work for me, as post is too far away from me as the boom reached over my pedalboard.
 
Please don’t ask how many times I have kicked over my diet cokes onstage. Thanks for initiating me to the swirly gig. My favorite drummer has something like that but it is chrome and permanently attached to his mic stand. It could be 40 years old. Anybody know what that ones called?
 
I’ve tried several starting with the Swirly Gig. It worked fine until my sound guy got different mic stands that were thicker. String Swings makes one that I really like as it works on any mic stand and my guitar stands. I have an On Stage one as well but it lives in the practice space.
 
One of my freinds made the bass hanger some years ago.
And now also the beer holder !!

It's taken till page 5 but we finally have an illustrative answer responsive to the ask, not "you'll fry your amp," "mic stand" or "roll of gaffer's tape." I'm sure that picture will make some heads explode.;)

For a bunch of rock and rollers I'm surprised how square a lot of the gang here can be. Like, nobody's telling you to put a beer on your amp.:thumbsup:

Here's a story of how putting my beer on the amp might have saved me from getting zapped.

I was a young buck, playing through an ungrounded Kustom 200 (no way to put a beer on that truck and roll!). Hand on strings, put my can of Old Style on the garage floor, introducing the only path to ground. Zappo!

I grounded the amp shortly after that.
