Oh, thats a good idea! (the stick bag) I've got to try that...
I got an Adrian Young stick bag that you can do that with but the bag is so huge it's probably bigger than my floor tom, I just leave another set of sticks on top of the bass drum.
HRA, the decision to add sound to your kit is really an individual thing. I added chimes to my kit just because every time I went through the music store I couldn't help running the chimes just to hear the sound. I try not to go crazy with any add-on sounds, because for most, a little goes a long way. It all depends on what sounds good to you. when you go into a music store, just ask if it's OK to check out the sound of different things. I think that's what makes a good musician - hearing the possibilities for combinations of sound. Be creative, and just enjoy!

Don't add anything. Save your money.
That's probably very good advice HC!!! Looking for add-on sounds can be addicting very quickly!!

I have recently added a really nice set of tree works bar chimes that really add a nice touch in the right places. I am very careful also to not over use them. a little goes a long way with those.
Definitely a cowbell.

I agree with PB.....its definately a personal thing depending on what youre playing and what seems to be on your priority list.
I have those sticks also and dont use them for every song........like anything else, they have their proper space and time to use them.
I have a couple splash cymbals that for me are the most important.....they are great acsent pcs and compliment other cymbals nicely when played together.
I also have a couple jam blocks, tambourine, and cowbell all mounted to the set. I have a set of bongos on a stand that I add in once in a while also and a drum synthesizer ( for wind, waves, chimes etc.)

Agree with the posts. Also, if you are doing covers, is there something that is critical to a key song (Dave Matthews Band - Crash Into Me, comes to mind)? If not, or doing originals or just plain practicing, what would you use the most without becoming predictable? I like a splash or two, perhaps a China. For add-on percussion, have a soft spot for cowbells. PB noted chimes, and I really loved the Treeworks chimes I heard.
Right now, have a Roland SPD-S as I use a number of loops in work that I do. It also has chimes sampled, but can't beat the sound of acoustic chimes.
