Lovely collection, Mark... I like the idea of giving the students the chance to pick a snare and experience and feel a fine instrument. Congrats!
Those Yammies were basically a NOS kit from Japan... New ones comes with YESS III I think. I´m loving them. They sound even better than they look! :)

No flex. I guess because it has more area to attach to? It really becomes apparent if you try to shake the cowbell with your hand. No movement.

After all these years I have always wanted to be "THAT GUY" with an odd size tom, made a call to Yamaha and was able to grab a 15 x 13 mounted RC floor tom.....

Freaking love it.....

Excuse the ugliness of my cowbell. It sounds 1000 times better than it looks. :)


I think I must have been influenced by your post, because about a week and a half ago I bought this off Ebay.

$5.99, how could I resist?

I can't describe the sound as extraordinary, but it is unique.

It sounds an "F", and it's medium-sized, so now I have small, medium and large bells in that pitch.

I like to mount bells in complementary pitches on vintage WFL/Ludwig cymbal stands. I replace the cymbal tilter extension with a 3/8" rod.

Then, they all get to vibrating and singing together.

Installed the Beatwave iPhone app yesterday and played around with it a little.

Here are two loops I made. I think it sounds good enough to be usable in some situations
where you need a practice loop or to feed ideas into different situations.

How would you describe their weight, as compared to the DW 2-sided beaters, or the Tama Iron Cobra flat faced round beaters?

My all time favorite piece of gear is still the DW 9000 hi-hat stand. I'm interested in trying their new direct drive double pedals and Dunnett's new snares.

I bought one of those a few months back and found it to be too wobbly. I returned it after one rehearsal. It was also a bit of an ordeal to set up and take down.

The feel was very nice, I must admit.
