I gotta have more cowbell

I had a need for a good cowbell today.
I found one in one of the kits but it was kind of wimpy, even with EQ and reverb.

Eric, got a good cowbell?

Heh heh, funny you came to me for this. I had looked around for one as well, but found nothing that didn't sound cheesy. I tried recording my drummers bell but it sounded bad too. I will let you know if i find one. Maybe I'll go on the hunt tonight.

Just sample the one from the beginning of "Mississippi Queen"

But then it will have reverb and stuff already on it from their studio session.

Yes and you don't get a long sample with a tail cause that riff is fast and the hits are close together.

it takes a little editing, but i got my cowbell from the beggining of the lowrider song.

Doesn't that have kick drum with it? Maybe I am thinking of the Exodus cover version

You know, I do actually live around a bunch of farms, maybe if I took a laptop and a mic into a cow field.....heh heh

Eric , that cowbell you found is not too bad with some reverb and EQ.

I am sure you could create a better one though.

I used it again the other day so a cowbell is quite usefull.

If I had one I could record it. I have to keep going to my drummers house to get these sounds.
I will try to remember next time we practice.
