On my current kit I have a cowbell and that is all. I enjoy experimenting with new styles of drumming and I could do with some advise on what my next purchase should be? Cheers :D

More cowbell. Jam block?
I have a cowbell, and I'm getting a tambourine for christmas. I've played a kit with one, and they're not just for the odd tap in the odd ballad. Combining cowbell and tambourine gave me some pretty funky stuff, try it
If not, jam blocks, as Phil said, and theyre's special effect cymbals which you might consider like the Zil Bell and the odd Cup Chime
I've heard of a Moonblock aswell, meant to sound like a wooden cowbell, that sounds interesting. www.drumwright.co.uk has one I think

Go for some bells/chimes man.
Zildjian Zil-Bel 6" or 9.5"
LP Ice Bell
Paiste Cup Chime and Mega Cup Chime
Try this out if you want, go to a GC and make a stack between a 6" Zil-Bel and a 10" splash. Really cool, thats what I have.

Jam blocks for sure, or a hat trick(tambourine).
^Those would be cool additions. Maybe Timbales or an extra aux. snare :thumb:
