Every time that I put a kit together I never seem to allow for the cowbell.
I put all of my drums and cymbals exactly where I want them and then I think to myself,
"Crap! Where an I going to mount the freakin cowbell?"
I have never found the perfect place for this queer shaped but necessary gadget.
I just stick it in a precarious spot on the hoop of my bass drum and deal with it as this
weird thing that isn't round that I have to try and hit every now and then.
You beat me too it Zickos'
I have 2 antique cowbells from the farm - one even has the original heavy metal beater in it - they sound great.
