I don't know, I kind of feel cheated. I mean the "Green Bean" and the "Esther West" and the "Oregon Trail 75" and the "Snowflake" all sound exactly the same.
I mean if the guys were really clever, you'd think they could at least get pitch shift the sample to 12 different tones.

I'm in for two, and I can pay.

What kind of amp plugin should I run them through?

With the digital modeling cowbell now on the market, I'm gonna sell my old analog cowbell on E-bay and make a mint...

Well what did you expect? It's one of those digital thingamijigs.

I have never known a cowbell not to cut through, atleast the one's I have.
I was on a session recently for the Latin Grammy's where the drummer actually did complain that the cowbell didn't cut through enough. I had to run in and throw up a dedicated "cowbell mic". The whole time the drummer was telling me it's "very important for this kind of music", which is true, but i thought i was gonna shit my pants. I guess he had a fever...

That reminds of that time when some company came out with 5 string guitars and everyone just made fun of it. But that guy on that site does look funny, playing that cowbell with passion and fire in his eyes, knowing that he might be inspiring a young cowbellist in the audience.

That, and this post, marks the first time I have laughed out loud at a messageboard post.
