Product Description
Black metal cowbell, total height 7" (at the opening, the bell is 4" wide x 2.75" thick). Unlike traditional cowbells used on the farm, this instrument does not have a clapper inside. For a beater, use a triangle striker or drumstick that you purchase separately. A nice sound, and a great value! Striker NOT included.

Wow, what can I say?
I just received this awesome instrument as a birthday gift, and I'm extremely impressed.
Are you in a band with a song that seems lacking? Just lay down some cowbell and you're sure to soar to the top of the charts.
The cowbell is indeed what separates the mediocre musicians from the true stars. Don't believe me? Check out these songs that have featured the cowbell.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1U4EO456CVJIZ There isn't much to say about a cowbell. Except I gotta have more.
Here is the scoop - this is a fine cowbell, overall quality is good, it is well built with decent spot-welds, and the black finish is nice.
You can easily change the sustain and tinniness by manipulating your grip using proper cowbell technique.
With that said, this cowbell is a bit on the small side - therefore it is a bit tinny. I prefer a deeper cowbell, more of a tonk tonk tonk vs. a tink tink tink, so I will probably get a taller one and give this one to my little brother(because let's face it - a small cowbell is better than no cowbell).
So...my advice is get a bigger one! 6 to 7" should be perfect.
I'VE GOT A FEVER BABY, AND THE ONLY PRESCRIPTION IS MORE COWBELL!

Looking back on my long musical career, I have played many instruments, but I keep coming back to my first love... the cowbell. Oh sure, I've tried them all - from triangle to wood block but I have never felt so in tune with any other instrument than the Cowbell.
I have many different cowbells in my collection. Most of these are for a particular mood only. If I am feeling somewhat polka, I always reach for my signature "Shmenge Brothers #6" with the zebrawood handle... for rock it is my "Gussmann Blue-Steel Screamer"... jazz see's me grab my "Trini Lopez Limmited Addition Melody Master" knock-off.
But here is the finest single cowbell I have ever played. It has such a full & pleasant sound it seems to go with any type of music I play. My group was shocked when I showed up to our last gig and I only brought this little beauty with me. They protested at first and even threatened not to do the show, but their fears quickly disovled when I brought the house down with our first song of the night.
I can only close with this... Buy this Cowbell and see if I am not right! This thing is a Godsend for any serious cowbeller out there. You will reach new areas of playing that you did not even think were possible.
