Hey, I want to get something funky to add some cool sounds to my kit i was considering either geting four or five cowbells so i could do little fills on cowbells or just a bunch of random items but unless you know what your looking for its hard to find so any suggestions on different acceriories would be great

I don't have a lot of "noonies" (it's a movie maker term for "stuff to fill the movie set with detail") on my kit. One cowbell is all I have. Although I'd love to have some wind chimes and maybe a mounted tamourine on my hats. I've also considered buying a trigger pad and using samples through the PA. That would open up a whole catalog of sounds to use depending on how may triggers you have. Those are my ideas but really the sky the limit! Rock on!

A few things that are on my list of things that I'm hoping to get:
two more cowbells, a pair of agogo bells, a mounted tambourine, and a jam block.

A mounted cowbell can really open up your approach if you want to incorporate some latin-ish patterns into your playing. I have mine mounted off of a cymbal stand on my ride side, and it's so fun to play with!
