Description

Meinl STB55 5 1/2 inch Hand Brushed Cowbell is a high-quality, compact cowbell designed to deliver bright, cutting tone with a hand-brushed finish that adds both visual appeal and acoustic warmth. Ideal for drum kits, percussion setups, and live or studio use, this 5.5-inch bell offers the sharp, articulate sound that percussionists and drummers rely on for rhythmic definition and punch.

Materials and Build Quality

Constructed from premium steel, the STB55 features a robust build that ensures tonal consistency and long-term durability. The hand-brushed finish gives the bell a unique aesthetic and subtly influences the tone, creating a slightly warmer, more refined sound than polished models. It includes a secure mounting bracket designed to fit standard rods, making it easy to integrate into any drum kit, percussion rig, or multi-instrument station.

Performance and Use Cases

Whether played with sticks on a drum set or mounted on a percussion rack for hand percussion, the STB55 responds crisply and blends well with both acoustic and amplified instruments. Its cutting tone ensures that it projects effectively on stage or in a studio mix without overpowering other elements.
