    I really like the bare metal look on that LP229. It is my all time favorite cowbell and I'm seriously thinking about stripping off the paint on mine. The rusty look is cool also but for my taste it sounds too dull now. Thanks for that great experiment here & all the other informative videos on the channel 👍

    I noticed a cowbell I bought when I was 16 has decreased by a pitch in the 8 years I owned it. Haven't found a way to set it up cause I only had a kick mount for it, I don't like mounting things on my bass drum anyways, and that interfered with my double bass technique. I try to set it up on cymbal rods every now and then, but haven't figured out a way I can set it up for crazy fills yet.

    My dad has been a blacksmith for 40 years. To get the brass finish the metal has to be heated to almost a full red, and just use a brass hand brush. No need for power tools. A handful.of swipes and it has a pretty rich coating.

    Did you add any type of clear coat to 'protect' the new finish from further corrosion?

    Do a video of how to dirty up cymbals

    The raw steel cowbell looks the best. I'd probably go with that visually - but I'd try some clearcoat to darken up the sound.

    Much more appealing sound after you “ruined” it.

    Is that a Pearl Music City Custom kit in the background at 8:41? Part of a future video, perhaps?

    Nice! You've managed to make an Industrial Metal cowbell. Should have played us out with "Head like a Hole" 😂

    What it lacks in good looks it makes up with a better sound in the end ! 👌

    As someone whos been wanting a bell like this to produce some Latin tracks(virtual cowbells are trash), but doesn't have the extra 50 bucks to buy one; this hurt a little.
