Barking Spiders Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) ..I sure damn do. Dunno why but for me many songs are made by the cowbell. Here's some fine cowbell by the very great Clutch. BTW, if any of you peeps are yet to be initiated into the church of Clutch prepare for baptism... please post your fave cowbell moments. and lots of them!

Woodinblack Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 I try and avoid cowbells. Litterally - our singer often goes for a cowbell session and when he has finished he just throws the cowbell down. It hurts if it hits you! Quote
caitlin Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) I'm generally suspicious of vocalists who suddenly want to be percussionists, but yer clutch man has some nice muting going on there. The correct location for a cowbell is here: \/ Edited October 10, 2019 by caitlin 1 Quote
Cuzzie Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 The best cowbell song hands down or if you see how quick they go live, probably cocaine fuelled https://youtu.be/5R-voFL4ZL8 3 Quote

Heathy Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 There was some serious cowbell abuse going on when I saw them do this live a couple of years back. 1 Quote

Davo-London Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 I play drums and don't own a cowbell. Did I do something wrong? Davo 1 Quote
Adee Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Gratuitous use of THE cowbell .... AWESOME !! (forward to 48 seconds if bored, its worth it !) Quote

Yeh, they seem to be 'consumables' in so far as they can bend. You've not explored 'microphones' with this drummist have you? I mean they're a revolution in 'being heard without breaking your stuff' Quote

Luckily we're all quite old with no ego hangups so we help each other with the load ins.Just as well cos there's no way I'd be able to lift that Mesa rig myself. 1 Quote
