The black beauty and mambo bell are a great timbale combo

Es- 7 salsa downtown espectacular sonido gran campana

[@anthonydratnal1870]

Cowbell cork sniffers may laugh, but I still love the sound of the Ridge Rider, it's the perfect punchy muted BONK.

[@LeakyJAZZ]

what about the mambo tho?

[@deejaaywalker2314]

A very worthwhile comparison. It's almost shocking how different these sound when you hear them played just seconds apart. Another LP fan, I'm still impressed with a bunch of the others. I think the more you know, the less brand loyal you end up. Isn't it crazy how much the Thomann ones ring out and ring on with sustain throughout being played. Filing no judgment either way on those or any of them, really. Let your own ears decide, and have fun playing.

[@lukesuperflyjones]

Thank you for putting in the time and effort to make this video comparison! It was extremely helpful and too the point. Something about that ridge rider... so classic sounding

[@dudemanaric]

The LP229 mambo cowbell sounds best to me. That low pitched throaty muted BONK sounds so fun

[@johntagliabue]

Wow! The Thomann's ones speak melodically...Maybe far from a traditional concept of Latin oriented bells, but very interesting for synfonic like applications.

[@graytss]

I have a Mambo and I love it!

[@ehsbe1056]

If you bought all of the thomman cowbells and arranged them in a line they could be fun to play out melodies, but the ridge rider is probably best for funky rock and pop beats, liking some of the Meinl ones as well

[@unclesqueaker9849]

That Meinl Groove Bell.....🔥🔥

[@SarekGMusic]

Thank you so much for your video! I bought the Mambo bell and it sounds great on almost everything! Good medium/low pitch for general applications.

[@MrIlnyapasdepommes]

Very nice, exactly what I needed for my cowbell buying decision, Thank you very much!

[@walterdewald267]

I have the Millenium and it does its job very well. Costs 7,50 Euro (£6.30) at the moment and is really great value for money.

[@laiftaim]

I love thomann steel bells. Too gorgeous.

[@davidlester9287]

Sonically the black beauty matched the setup. I like how it hit a defining tone then got out the way. I just got the city.

[@tommyblack7998]

The LP "City" bell sounds the same as their ES-2 Salsa Cha Cha High.

[@andrewkeiswetter8629]

Love them all. The LP Mombo is great

[@lordhelmchen8573]

for me always LP, they just sound more musically!

[@machine1066]

Meinl ones are my favorite

[@belfastbusfan]

Peter Criss always said LP made the best and he was not wrong!!

[@toddhue6392]

Thank you for this!

[@jamescassidy3995]

I kind of want all of ‘em!

[@sammusic7537]

Yes and then from all cowbells 12 versions from each note so they will match any key🤣

[@realdjoffski]

I've got a FEVER! ❤😂

[@sammusic7537]

Exactly what i need thank you!

[@mihaidrums5]

To me LP have the best sound, for a pop/rock context

[@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164]

Just buy them all and rack em!

[@diegofernandoquirozmora8582]

Es -12 excelente cha cha

[@luukoldenburg1807]

what kind of snare drum do you use in the video?

[@svenvonsamson8810]

I used a Ludwig Super Sensitive B/O Badge, 6,5x14“

[@tommyblack7998]

@@svenvonsamson8810 A drummer I used to play with said that the Ludwig snare is the best one.

[@genom27]

Gotta have more cowbell.

[@peterdent2019]

I only like 8" or larger (Do you know what I mean, ladies?!)

[@highdrummer451]

LP 4IVA

[@DrumStan]

Gave the 666th like.

[@realdjoffski]

Very metal like

[@ButteredToast32]

The Thomann ones are too resonant and overbearing for my taste.

[@tommyblack7998]

The expression "more cowbell" wore thin long ago. Give it a rest. It was never even funny, Total bore.

[@walterkaiyuenpang3556]

😭😭😭

[@realdjoffski]

Lmao what a comment. You are so bored with "more cowbell" that you comment on a video with a lot of cowbells in it. Start campaigning for "less cowbell" mate. Immediately.
