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.

Nice! Your comedy just made my day, bruv!

@timocrosby 3 года назад

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

@joeshmoe7967 7 месяцев назад

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

@elephantgrass631 2 года назад

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 9 лет назад

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!

@mikayunusbergersahbaz9730 5 лет назад

could agree more... the metallic sound it makes when you hit it on its side is brilliant!

@tdrum21 9 лет назад

Sounds great. Very cool. The song sounds like a Funkadelic guitar solo....Diggin it!

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.

@bonguitoloco76 5 лет назад

you know why sounds better ??? it was made with LOVE!!!! nice video!! I wish I know how to weld.... I would be making cowbells all day!!!! Keychains (mini ones), Doorstoppers, Cheese graters (Lol), paper weights, and manymore!!!

Brighter and better sound in a self-made Cowbell👍🏻

@bandaancha59 8 лет назад

Yeah great work dude !

@lane2376 8 лет назад

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.

@rodelbagamasbad2190 4 года назад

Much better than lp...great video

@CarlosRochaMusic 8 лет назад

Sir, you just got yourself one more subscriber.

@DMarkAgostinelli 7 лет назад

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 RU-vid for years. You got me to write my first review, just to praise you ! Good job! Lol

@redredblood1 8 лет назад

Love your videos, David! Have you ever hurt yourself really badly while attempting a DIY percussion instrument? Cutting, burning or anything by accident?

@juit68old15 8 лет назад

what is the name of the music i cant find it.

@DAGDRUM53 8 лет назад

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.

@vernonsteinkamp1088 4 года назад

I never thought if you as a metal Smith, but that's innovative. For $39, I wouldn't bother making one, unless you really like building stuff.
