What type of instrumentation are you using ? Are you going to play it by hand or on a kit ? Very important!

Yes that would help wouldn't it! Looking for one that can be played on the kit with drum stick and would mount on a rod, like this

Now I feel really cheep that I see that one for 34.00 and most likely free shipping so buying a used one probably wont be much less. I played one at my music store last night that was 45.00 plus tax, just thought I would ask here to see if anyone had one laying around and could give up for a few bucks.

Thank you for your response!

Have quite a few odd ones hanging around, as well as mounts/clamps.. Will snap a few photos and even a video so you can get a better idea of sound.

Man oh man does those songs bring back some memories...couple of my favs to play out.

Thanks Nevin, don't go through all that trouble listen to Mississippi Queen, that's the sound I'm looking for, I would trust your ears!

Try stuffing some foam rubber inside to kill some ring.. Then use the butt end of your stick on or near the open end... may improve it..

(If it works put a dob of glue on the rubber to hold it in place)

Cheers

try a Mambo Bell, I believe that's what Corky used!

If you can find the 60's Ludwig script logo golden tone model, they really have that sound that you are looking for. They have they kinda bronze look to them.
