Your cart is empty.The Meinl Mike Johnston Signature Groove Bell sits perfectly in the mix of a drum set without overpowering. Get cowbell tone without dominating the music. Its sound comes from a special steel alloy and size proportions that cut down piercing overtones. Also comes with two magnetic mutes that give you control over sustain and pitch (based on Benny Greb’s Magnetic Sustain Control). The Groove Bell has a brushed vintage steel finish that gives the surface a patina that looks decades old. "When you first play it, there is no doubt that this is a high-quality cowbell that is uniquely designed to be played on a drum set. With the addition of the bell mutes, it quite literally becomes one of the most versatile cowbells on the market. " - Mike Johnston. Measures 7 3/4" L (not including mount) x 5 1/4" W x 2" H.

Right out of the box, it is obvious that this is a heavy, well-made cowbell. I am not a professional drummer so with that in mind, most cowbells I’ve heard have a tinny sound that seems cheap. This sounds rich and full. I love the tone. Like the sense of taste, I’m sure everyone’s sense of hearing is a little different. To allow for this, the cowbell comes with two magnets, one heavier than the other that can be placed in different positions to alter the sound according to one’s personal choice or to fit the music being played. I didn’t rate value for the money because it’s hard to assess the value each individual places on something. I am reminded of the saying “cheap stuff ain’t good and good stuff ain’t cheap.“ There are cheaper options if that’s what you’re looking for but I don’t think you will be disappointed with this purchase.

Great sound and flexibility for a cowbell. Makes it as much at home in jazz as rock or country.

Great cowbell, strong with a good sound. Real heavy-duty that you can play without worry about cracking. The 2 magnets are great to help in muting, but can fly off if you play hard.

Looks great. Sounds great. This thing is beautiful. My dog doesn't like it very much, but what does he know? He's never even played drums. I like the tonal flexibility offered by the little magnetic mutes. Just stick them somewhere out of the way so you don't knock 'em while you're hammering away like a maniac. I recommend this cowbell without reservation. Get it and you'll finally be able to play cowbell songs without sounding stupid. Do you know where you are? YOU'RE IN THE JUNGLE, BABY!!!

Doesn't sound like a dinner bell- sounds like how a cowbell should-- and w the magnetic weights, you can really dial in the sound. Great addition to the kit- Alejandro
