    How much do you have to spend?

    Have you tried a zil-bell? They are essentially a large bell like on your ride.
    I think they go for $100 or less.

    When drummers are away from their instruments, which is quite often, they often resort to air drumming. Although often distracting to others, playing air drums provides drummers with a mental practice session that can help a great deal.

    LAP DANCE, LAP DANCE !!!
    I would get an LP Ice Bell. They're like the bell on your ride, but much more clean, clear, and pronounced. I love mine. They have a 6", and an 8". I would go with that.

    I'll vote for the lap dance! No really, Roto toms are a great addition to any kit. Well worth the money. That Z bell is a good choice too. Got any wood blocks?

    Try a tamborine that sits on top of your hats. Adds a cool sound

    I have been wanting to try those for so long now. You can switch between the HH and the tamborine right? And cut one out when you want to use the other? I was just wondering because it looks like they work in conjunction the entire time.

    Yea, they work in conjunction the entire time. They just "ride" the top rod up & down. I didn't have room for the tamborine jingles above my hats, so I took SMALL high-pitched sleigh bells (about 10) and wrapped them around the top hats' clutch. It's quite suttle-sounding, yet it adds something a little different to the sound of your hats.
    Like people are sugesting, I have 4 Remo Roto-toms (6,6,8,10"). I took another 10" and removed the head use it as a Remo Spoke. I love roto-toms. You can't go wrong with them - where else can you get 3 toms with a stand for such little money...

    I've had my roto-toms since 1986. Remo used to make two "levels" of roto-toms. Both sets were 6",8",10".

    The basic set had a single-braced stand, a silver cross-bar (to hold the toms), a black "spoke" behind each head, and pinstripe heads.

    The "deluxe" set had a double-braced stand, a black cross-bar, chrome "spokes", and ebony pinstripe heads.

    I bought the "deluxe" set and put clear pinstripe heads on them to match the rest of my set. Later a friend gave me a "basic" set.
    In the pic, you can see the "basic" set mounted to the "deluxe" set.

    You can also see the sleigh bells mounted on my hi-hats.
