At last, you CAN have MORE COWBELL!
Edited on Thu Jun-30-05 03:35 PM by dbt
"Nothing can be more disheartening for the modern cowbellist than to find the sound of his instrument drowned out by the overpowering volume of today's electric guitars and drums."

"Cowbellists around the world are turning to Rad Monkey Electric Cowbells!"

Click here and scroll down to test drive the VLC800, the world's first Digital Modeling Cowbell! It accurately models 12 (count 'em, 12) of the world's most sought-after cowbells!

1. I've determined that there are essentially only 3 cowbell tones here:
The first (lowest) exemplified by the "Green Bean", "Snowflake", "Esher West" and "Oregon Trail Model 75";
The second (mid) exemplified by the the Cooper "flask", the "Black Beauty", and the "Oregon Trail Model 82";
The third (highest) exemplified by "The Standard", "Edinburgh LT", "Chicken Nugget" and "Alma Cogan Model V"

Maybe my "ear" doesn't discriminate the subtle tones?

I GOTTA HAVE MORE COWBELL!

4. There are slight tonal differences. You're essentially correct, though.
If you're using the cowbell as it is usually used (just to provide a beat), any old cowbell will likely do.

However, if you've written a concerto for cowbell, you might find yourself saying "Fuck it all! I want the Alma Cogan, not the Chicken Nugget!!!"

Thank elperromagico for me for the information in response to my post. I'd respond directly, but his post said he might contain peanuts, and I might be allergic. Thanks.
