You could just put it into something bigger, like a good cymbal or a new set.

If you want to buy heads I like to use Evans G2 Coated as resonant for toms and Evans Hazy 300 for the snare and as for woodblocks I suggest you look at manufacturers specialized in Percussion such as LP or Toca. Another idea would be a tambourine that you can attach to your hi-hats.

Do you NEED woodblocks? Or are you getting them just to add to your kit? I think when I was younger I just wanted to ad "stuff" to my kit for show, but as I started playing out more, I got tired of moving all of it around. Somebody mentioned maybe saving your money and buying something with a little more substance. There are some real nice things out there if you keep saving those bills. I would rather have one really nice cymbal than a bunch of triangles, woodblocks, etc...

maybe some dvds and books to help improve your drumming or maybe buy some lessons but if u want to add something to your kit i would go with maybe a new snare you can never have too many
