In addition to Rad Monkey's well-known cowbell amplification, onboard DSP also faithfully reproduces teh sound of a dozen of the world's most sought-after vintage and modern cowbells. Thousands of hours of dedicated research and development have resulted in striking cowbell models with all of teh character and depth of the beloved originals. If you're as dedicated to tone as we are, we know you'll love what you hear. Step up to the Red Monkey."

haha I can just see them featuring him on their "Power Users" page. With Christopher Walken saying "With the Rad Monkey, I never have to ask for more cowbell."

| | <-- That guy looks like me, but old. | | Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: Arlington TX | | The tragically funny part is that, for the first few seconds after I saw this, I actually considered one. My drummer has an electronic kit. (This is a good thing. It gives us volume control over the drummer.  ) I saw this and thought it was an actual trigger for cowbell sounds that he could add to his set. For almost ten seconds it was a really good idea.
Then the farce content got too high. Dammit. 
Don't you hate when the joke kind of sounds like a good idea.
