  • When I was making the woodblock I was thinking how I would never use it and how I should have made a cowbell instead. So I made one!
    The body is made out of 16 gauge steel. and the mount is made out of 1/4" bar stock, I should have used something thinner, but it was what I had laying around.
    Dimensions incase you want to make one:

      So true. He should have labeled the video "copying a cowbell"

    When you first demoed, I thought you painted it black, thought it sounded OK. Then you swapped out for the one you actually made and it sounded pretty good, different but equally as good as the store bought.
    I came to the video because I can't find my old cowbell, looked into buying new one....Prices have gone up!
    I thought maybe I could make one, probably find a youtube video, and here I am! I may make a few, trying different gauges and profiles. Cool project - Cheers

    In my opinion the homemade cowbell sounds much clearer and crisper

      Not. It's envelope is too long for salsa music. The overtones don't resonate well. LP bells are precision made and is probably why they sound consistent. This guy did a great job making a bell in general, but not a latin bell.

  • @jamessquirrell1257
    @jamessquirrell1257 9 років тому +4

    I love the fact that the homemade one has more of a light ring to it and it sounds different to the old one. Awesome!

    In 1999 I went to the place where LP has their cowbells made in Bergen County NJ. Half of the shop makes metal liners for coffins and the leftover pieces of sheet metal are used for cowbells.

  • @lane2376
    @lane2376 8 років тому +2

    Wow I really love the sound of the one you made. I mean, they both sound good, but the high pitched overtones of the LP is the kind of thing that drives me insane. I like a cowbell with a quick decay.

    Wow, I really like the sound of the one you made. It sounds smoother than the commercial one. You should make a few different sizes and play all of them. Does it dent easily ? You did a good job. BTW. I have never left a review before on anyone's videos. I've been watching UA-cam for years. You got me to write my first review, just to praise you ! Good job! Lol

    If Bonzo were alive he'd be a subscriber. Another watchable interesting production whether the viewer is a musician or not. Or adult or child for that matter, the photography alone would captivate very young kids. The finished product sounded exactly like a cowbell, mission accomplished, paint it radioactive orange. Your mounting idea was clever although I must voice concern about uncommon stress and wear and tear on the bass drum rim. Knowing you, Dave, you probably have rack and stand mount configurations as well. And just when I think I've seen you reach the bottom of your bag of tricks you break out a fucking welder.
