    @oldbsturgeon5493 5 років тому +5

    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.

    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.

    I saw a long interesting interview and it came up that someone took parts from airplanes and made cowbells and a famous manufacturer copycated it. I don’t know if it’s true, that’s what I heard.

    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?

  • @Carlosconga
    @Carlosconga 4 роки тому +2

    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.

I’ve searched but haven’t been able to find the same sound this bell produces.

    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....

      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.

    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....
