LP

collapse expand iconDescription

The LP Black Beauty Cowbell, crafted from high-quality steel, produces a bright, high-pitch sound with moderate overtones that cuts through live performances and recordings. Thanks to its slightly rounded playing surface, you'll achieve great tone with every strike. The Black Beauty Cowbell comes equipped with forged eye-bolt clamp assembly that secures to 3/8" rods for easy mounting. Oversized wingnuts allow for quick tightening and loosening. Made in the USA, this cowbell has been a best-seller for decades due to its iconic sound and durable construction.

High-Pitch, Distinctive Tone

The LP Black Beauty Cowbell's high pitch and crisp tone have made it instantly recognizable. Whether you need a cowbell for rock, Latin, or any other genre, the Black Beauty provides a sound that stands out. Its pitch is in the higher range, so it cuts through dense mixes with clarity. Moderate overtones give it a hint of sustain without sounding messy. For studio use, the controlled overtones help it sit well in recordings without overpowering other instruments.

Rounded Playing Surface for Consistency

LP designed the Black Beauty Cowbell with a slightly rounded playing surface, unlike traditional flat cowbells. The rounded design allows for consistent tone and rebound when playing. Each strike of the beater or stick produces the same bright, ringing sound. The rounded edge also prevents the beater from catching on the edge of the cowbell, which can dampen the tone. Whether you're recording multiple takes or performing live, you can rely on the Black Beauty Cowbell for repeatable, high-quality sound.

Roadworthy Construction

The Black Beauty Cowbell is built to handle the demands of touring and recording. Forged from steel, it produces a full, resonant tone that doesn't diminish over time. An eye-bolt clamp assembly allows you to securely mount the cowbell to 3/8" rods. The eye-bolt is made from durable steel and the oversized wingnuts make installation and removal quick and easy. Made in the USA, the Black Beauty Cowbell is a roadworthy percussion essential that's built to last.

    Decent alternative to the Bonham Ludwig Gold Tone. Not exactly the same but pretty close, and much easier to find and quite a bit less costly. This along with a Chad Smith Ridge Rider is a nice cowbell combo for 70;s rock.

  • Great cowbell - GC is the bomb!!!

    Used it at my last show - went great! Has a great sound, is compact and easy to carry, and fulfilled every meet I had for a cowbell. I can't wait to use it at my next show, and every show following. Guitar center is great for getting all the things I need, and they have friendly staff, great managers, And great prices. I shop there all the time!

    Everyone has their own idea of what ANY instrument should sound like and sounds good. I had the opportunity to go in to GC and try out all the cowbells they had in stock, and this one has the sound I'm looking for. It fits in the space between my snare and floor tom just right and sounds like what I think a rock cowbell should sound like.
