Amazing video man! Thanks! I loved the demo too

Totally!! The big grey one is awesome.. Be nice to have some bell patterns on weekday work outs. Thanks for sharing as always bro

Hey, Eric. I have been following your bongo, tumba and cencerro demos. Da' Bomb! I bought the smaller one for my wife and she chose it out of the middle bell. I am going to reorder for el gordo tomorrow. You do great work man. The best to you and familia.

I ordered the 7 3/4. The interval between the high and low tone plus the smooth attack on the low and crisp high. Sooo good

I bought the third Meinl cowbell and just got it today. It’s louder than I thought in a good way. Need to put those muffs on still. Great videos man, Thanks again!

The musical section at the end is giving me life!

Rock the bells 🔔 very helpful video like always my bro.thanks

The smile when you play La Gorda!

Dayummmmm Eric. Kiubo compadre. Lol I love going back to this video, the low bell just sounds so good.

Cool!...very cool!!!

All nice cowbells. Nice playing too!

I loved the first bell in the mix it was so fitting. The big fat one was cool too. Man bells are sic!!

I’m new to playing Latin percussion and starting with cowbell, and this is without question the best cowbell video out there! ❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼

Cowbell and the bongos are the most beautiful of Latin Percussion

que gran sonido consigues Eric!!! mágicamente en sincronía diría que me conquista el alma esa bella campana "gorda"..uuhfff sueeeena increible!!!! gracias por esta tremenda entrega.

Only you could make a video about musical cowbells sound fun, awesome, interesting and educational.

I like your channel Eric and your tutorials, really amazing. I subscribe recently and I would like if you could prepare a video teaching how to play cowbell in salsa rhythm (in 3-2 and 2-3 clave), techniques and tips as always. Thanks and congratulation.....y que siga la salsa!!!

don't like the small bell but the black mamba and gorda are fantastic! Loved how it sound in context with the song, thanks!!

Hey Eric, great video thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us... I really enjoyed the first and third (La Gorda! Lol) cowbells, could you tell the product number and dimensions on the bell so I can look into them... Thank you once again bro, God Bless...

In that demo the best sounding bell was the Black one. It was perfect for that mix.

Beautiful. thank you.U da man.

Hi Eric. Good vid as always! The last bell (fat wide one) is the best sound.......only just! The black one second. Don't you just love it!

I think while I like large bell, especially the open tone a whole lot, the smaller one seemed more appropriate for the song. There isn't a lot of low end in that part and the low bell seemed out of place, where the frequencies of the high one blended better. I don't think I liked the black coated one at all.

Boy that big ol’ fat bell sounds great. Sweet highs at the base of the bell. And a lovely gonk on the open mouth. Quite a nice choked warm sound. Love it.

Thank you, Erik; I was unsure what type of cowbell I was going to buy. After I saw your video I am definitely convinced. I love that big one "Fat", but you know, playing salsa for couple hours you'll need some muscles. I go for the mid one! Thank you, Brother, and God Bless you!!!

Eric !! Definitely ,the black mamba ,sound the best. Happy thanksgiving, saludos.

Gracias, elijo la tercera

I ended up buying the 3rd bell you play on this video “La gorda” it has a beautiful sound. I think that’s why you needed up playing it twice :) Would you know if there’s a mounting version of this bell. I’d love to have that sound for a double bell pattern. I’ve searched but haven’t been able to find the same sound this bell produces.

I like the large bell the best. Coming from the perspective of a blind percussionist, I know what it is like testing multiple bells for their sound qualities.

Meinl has some great cymbals too. Perhaps you can take some Byzance thin crashes, splashes, and chinas... oh yeah, Meinl has a cymbal series specially for percussionist called "Candela", which has many variations to choose and of course they can be hit by our pure hands instead of drum sticks.

Eric, hands down "La Gorda" is best suited for the montuno you were playing on. The black one is not bad, the small one I think it will be best suited for something like boogaloo. Anyway really nice work Bro! Oh the Gorda looks like a bell I have made by JCR in NYC. Oh and make sure you get your son ready for playing los bongoses! :D

Yea man I love “La Gorda” hahaha

I have a few Meinl Cowbells and I don't like the one use muff pads they give. It's better to stuff them with polyfill so can be tune to loudness and stop the ringing. They are all good anyway. Trying to figure out the best ine for Cha Cha on Timbale. I already have a cocktail drum set 4-bell Meinl cluster on a Z-bar. Will end up with too many if I don't get the right Salsa/Mambo bell. This was a helpful video.

Me gusta La Gorda! Great vid Eric

By any chance have you or anyone here played the LP ES-15? I was wondering what you'd recommend between the Big Meinl and the ES-15

Congratulations are you're playing a good bell/campana;I thought that only me plaids with that swing, as well I had other tricks. Take care. Cheers!

The first cow bell reminded me of the intro to Wars song Low Rider.

drumming dog haha sooo true!

Which one would be the best for salsa sound

Hi, what about a campana tutorial video?

I hear a warble in the black mamba open tone. Am I hearing things? The other two sound best to me.

Do they have a mounted version of la gorda?

For me the small bell was a bit too high for the tune, and could have been un-muted, but I'm sure it sounded different in the room. The neck sounds on the black bell (which I preferred) and large bell were really nice! A combination of those would have suited me :D Best bell on its own was the large bell, but do Meinl make any even lower bells, for any really meaty cha-chas or Yambus?

Estas seguro que "la gorda" es el modelo STB785 ?. La marca Meinl tiene otro modelo mas gordo STB815, me suena más a este último. Por otro lado el palo es de resina o de madera? . Gracias por tus videos.

oye E... double sided tape works pretty good for mufflin' a campana. i know you're on the team so u get hooked up with their stuff and actually those mufflers look better than LP's mufflers but i just thought i would mention the trick of double sided tape I've used.. keep doin ya thang monina..

Como se llaman las gomitas que le ínstalas dentro de la campana?

Want those cowbells man awesome!

As mentioned on one of your videos that mienl mini bongos beat the LP ones so team mienl on that one! Want to hear your son play more on the mini bongos & mini conga I saw him play now that would be worth seeing & a treasure for you to have & remember your son as a young boy!

I have one from LP but I want more, different models I definitely want the big one now.

Unfortunately, Giovanni had to have 2 (I believe) fingers amputated due to complications from Diabetes. I saw a video of him playing just recently. He appears to have been through great stress due to the loss of his fingers, which is expected for someone who has devoted his entire life to mastering the drum. And we hope and pray that he comes through like the mighty drum warrior that he is, after his terrible ordeal. He seemed to be in good spirits. God Bless him.

thank you for you reply

now best campana is a JCR bell(low pitch for me cuz im old school). Pete Lugo is making a hell of a campana too and Uli percussion too. but there ain't a better bell in history than the old cuban bells with rivets on the side instead of welding. LOW and DRY as hell. best sound in the world. those are all the ones i stick to. then u can go even farther back to the JOPA bells and the old BLUM'S bells....

I am a little late on this but I have been spoiled with J.C.R. bells

The black one.

LMAO. Black MamBa 😂 ReMamba the Mambo? ^5 My neighbor heard the bells...Heard him say..."yah got rings on ur fingers"...now.."yah got bells on ur toes" gave him S haKa sign with my foot \000/ hang loose👍

The small one is perfect for cumbia, but terrible for salsa. The black mamba sounds way too muted, like it’s filled with socks and it wouldn’t work well in a live setting unless it’s super low volume. The gorda is nice. I think it may fall a bit short (in terms of volume) in live setting too, but it has a much rounder tone that makes it appealing than the other two. I’ve recently become a CP (Colombian Percussion) convert. Their cowbells are my baseline point of comparison because they are that good.

Black Momba

Soooooo...you really want to know how I feel? As a bongo player, the bell has to be $$$$. Although I was a LP endorser, I ALWAYS use JCR bells. Since his passing, they are verrrry hard to find and if found verrrrry expensive. Osiris bells are also well made. The BLACK MAMBA sound great. Dry sound. That medium pitch but deep at the same time. La Gorda is NICE. It has a nice ring to it. That one should sound nice in a FULL salsa band. The key thing is that the bell BLENDS with the timbal bell. If not....it's gonna sound like Santa Clause...Santa Clause....the bells have to sound like one bell, with a drive. I currently use Pescao from PR and an Osiris bell. Always open to new companies. But I am a HUGE CRITIC on bells. If they don't blend...pa la basura...break them in and hope the do well for u bro....
