I've always played on "contra-compana," the traditional Afro-Cuban style of playing the accompaniment, or "compana", on the larger (typically six to eight inches in length) mambo bell, while playing the counterpoint, or "contra", on the smaller (typically four to six inches in length) cha-cha bell. So, I've played on three different sets over the years, namely, Latin Percussion Brand, Zildjian and Toca. All of these sets were the traditional, pyramid-shaped cowbells. This is my first foray in playing the Salsa-style bells. The four-inch, cha-cha bell is a very high pitched bell, roughly the same pitch as the Lp Tapon (Low Rider by War). If it were any higher, it would be a special effects bell only. The tone of the bell is quite dry. You probably will not require any external muffling at all.The six-inch, mambo bell is a good, all around, medium pitch bell, lower than the gold-standard, Lp Black Beauty (Love is Strange by Mickey & Sylvia), but still higher in pitch than, say, the Lp Timbale Cowbell (Rico Vacilon by Arthur Murray Orchestra). The mambo bell is also, quite dry in tone. You won't be needing very much muffling on this bell.The wider, flat playing surface on these Salsa style bells, makes them much easier to play on, than the old conventional, pyramid-shaped cowbells. And, the shallow depth, means they take up less room on a trap drum set, especially when mounted on a snare drum (see photo).These bells are imported directly from Puerto Rico. I am very happy with my purchase, and I recommend them highly.
