Description

This cowbell’s size gives it an assertive, resonant voice that cuts clearly in live settings while keeping overtones in check. Its controlled sustain allows it to blend smoothly with congas, bongos and full percussion sections, making it a reliable choice for ensemble playing. The mounting bracket ensures easy placement on any standard rod, allowing drum set players to add authentic Latin tone to their grooves.

Whether used for traditional cascara patterns, energetic accents or rhythmic layering, this cowbell offers a rich, dependable timbre suited for both modern and classic Latin styles.

Why Choose the Meinl 8 1/2″ Timbales Cowbell:

• Deep, powerful timbales tone with controlled overtones
• Black powder coated steel delivers a firmer, more muffled character
• Excellent projection for live Latin and fusion music
• Easy to mount and integrate into any setup
• A durable, versatile cowbell for percussionists and drum kit players alike
