Percussionists rarely need one big investment. More often, the upgrade is practical: a place to rest sticks, a spare drum for practice, a bell-and-woodblock voice to add to a kit, or a stand that holds everything steady. These four percussion items range in price from $18.95 to $75, and each solves a different problem. So before comparing specs, the real question is: what is missing from your setup right now?
Quick take
The accessory tray brings organization, the piccolo snare brings an actual drum, the LP set brings two classic hand percussion voices, and the Griffin stand brings hardware support. None of them replaces the others, so your playing style should decide.

Product notes
Accessory Tray for Drummers - Metal Tray for Hand-Held Percussion
At the bottom of the price range, this Stagg tray offers a different kind of upgrade: workspace. The metal tray clamps onto tubing and rods from 7/16 to 1 inch, so you can attach it to a stand or rack and keep sticks, keys, or small hand percussion within reach. A carry/storage bag is included. It is new and costs USD 18.95. The tradeoff is that it does not change your sound; it solves organization, not tone. If your kit is already full of hardware but your floor is covered in sticks, that one problem can be worth solving.
New Piccolo Snare Drum 13" x 3.5" Poplar Wood & Metal Shell Percussion Black
This piccolo snare costs USD 34.99 and is the only actual drum in this set. The 13-inch shell is a shallow 3.5-inch poplar wood and metal build in black, and it is presented as a real instrument for beginner or professional drummers and as suitable for stage play. For someone who wants to add a snare voice without committing to a full-size kit, this is the item to weigh. The tradeoff is the compact size: a 13-inch by 3.5-inch shell is naturally thinner and less deep than a standard 14-inch snare, so it works best as a companion voice rather than a replacement.
LP Agogo Bell & Jam Blocks Set 3-Piece Plastic/Metal Percussion Accessories
At USD 75.00, this is the highest-priced item and the only one in used condition. This 3-piece LP set includes agogo bell and jam blocks, and among its components is an LP Jam Block in red medium pitch made from LP's exclusive Jenigor plastic. The pieces are in used condition and are presented as inspected and fully functional. Because the set combines bell and woodblock-style tones, it is versatile for drum kit expansion, marching band, or handheld percussion work. The limitation is cost and condition: you are paying the most here for previously owned instruments rather than new ones.
Snare Drum Stand - GRIFFIN Percussion Hardware Tom Holder Practice Pad Mount Key
At USD 29.00, the Griffin stand takes on the hardware role. It is new, with double-braced chrome-plated legs and anti-skid, foldable, height-adjustable, and portable features. The height can be set from 18 inches up to 24 inches, and the included instruments cover drumset, snare drum, steel drum, and tom, while the title also mentions a tom holder and practice pad mount. The limitation is that it adds support, not sound. If your current stand already holds the drum exactly where you want it, this one gives you a backup rather than a new voice.
Final recommendation by use case
- If you just want the least complicated, low-priced convenience add-on, choose the Stagg Accessory Tray.
- If you want a compact snare you can actually play, choose the Piccolo Snare.
- If you want bell and jam-block sounds in one used LP bundle, choose the LP Agogo Bell & Jam Blocks Set.
- If you need dependable height-adjustable support for a snare, tom, or pad, choose the Griffin Snare Drum Stand.
