"When you first play it, there is no doubt that this is a high quality cowbell that is uniquely designed to be played on a drum set. With the addition of the bell mutes, it quite literally becomes one of the most versatile cowbells on the market." —Mike Johnston

The Meinl Mike Johnston Signature Groove Bell is a cowbell developed specifically with drum set players in mind. Based on his experience as a drummer and teacher, Mike Johnston worked hand-in-hand with the renowned percussion company Meinl to make a cowbell that fits in the context of a band while still providing the percussive spark that drummers require in their grooves.

This cowbell comes with two easy-to-use magnetic tuners that muffle unwanted ringing for a dialed-in sound when needed, but leave the option of a wide-open sound when the situation calls for it. The tuners also give each drummer a chance to find their perfect percussion sound and even change it between songs. To make it clear this is no ordinary cowbell, it's finished with vintage steel.

Whether you're looking to lay down a solid string of quarter notes or a complex rhythmic pattern, this cowbell deserves a place in your kit.

    It sounds good, you have to play around with the magnets to get the sound you want. If there is one thing drummers like to do is make lots of noise, this bell does a good job of that. I watched an online video of this bell being played before I bought it to see if it had the sound I wanted. So far I really like it.
