Pearl PCB-4 Primero Cowbell

I recently got carried away with drums and decided to buy myself a set, at the same time I ordered this thing. Cool thing, I don't use it often but it sounds funny. The price is low so I recommend everyone to have something like this for your variety.

You might be surprised how beatiful this small cowbell sounds. I mount it on my bass drum. Because I use it in funk I also muffle it a but but wrapping a bit of tape around it!

Playing this with the shaft produces a full sound that fills the room with cowbell awesomeness. The tip sound leaves a bit to be desired I think though. But this is expected due to the small size.

I play cajon and percussion and wanted to add some cowbells to my setup. I bought this Pearl PCB-4 Primero Cowbell along with the Millenium cowbell 7 and they are a good match. The Pearl has a very good quality sound, pitched just right to cut through without being too intrusive. It is a nice small, compact cowbell making it easy to fit into a crowded percussion rack or on to a cymbal stand. It is well made, easy to fit and it stays where I put it.

It is a good match for the Millenium cowbell as the two different pitches sound just right together.

As expected from Pearl, this cowbell is flawless. My only gripe is that I regret I didn't get a larger one; this one can be a bit "clinky" in the sound and lacks volume to cut through some of the louder music I'm playing.

It's a fine cowbell, does exactly what you'd want/expect! Nice clear sound, sturdy and looks nice on the kit. It isn't terribly loud but that's not really a complaint. I use it mainly for accenting and it brings some variety to the kit I feel. I have mine attached to a stand on the bass drum, personally it makes sense to have it there but it could work anywhere really! I'd recommend everyone to get one of these, not too pricey and a good addition to the drum kit.

As you would expect from pearl,this cowbell is excerlent all round quality and value for money

Excellent cowbell. Contains built in dampening to control the sound. Very balanced.

To paraphrase the great Saturday Night Live sketch, these have definitely helped to resolve a fever where the only cure is more cowbell!!!! There is no longer any need to fear the reaper, and has enhanced sound on certain songs, you can buy with no "fear" and enjoy the sound.

Pros: Good sound, Small size so that it fits between toms and snare.
Cons: The screw needs to be squeezed with extra power to make it stay stable. But this is not a big issue.

Got this as an Xmas gift for outer drummer, he was over the moon. Reluctant to hit it at first but has since brought a whole new dimension to his drumming
