Should my drummer be bringing a cowbell?

[Odinbass]

If they do bring one, make sure it is attached to their kit. Nothing attracts drunk jagoffs like a loose cowbell laying around.

Hehe "A Hard Day's Night" just and out and I just realized there's a loud cowbell in there.

I'm Latino... Cowbell all the way

Tambourines attract drunk girls like bees to flowers. Never had a guy wanna play along with a tambourine though...

you can't play "Honky Tonk Women" without a cowbell, sorry. And country woobirds love that song.

I hope not.

The better question is, "Why are you HINTING to someone you are paying?" If you want them to bring a cowbell, just say "Bring a cowbell." See how easy???

It really must feel like "livin' the dream" if I had to go Cowbell shopping. Somehow, that's never a Black Friday deal at Guitar Center.

Hopefully they'll have a Musicial Farmer's Package Deal: cowbell, giant triangle (ding ding ding! Suppertime!), washboard, washtub and broom handle.

Don't forget the saw and bow.

Yes.

At the very least, they can use it to signal the guitarist that his solo's gone on for too long.

By throwing it at him??? Better bring more than one!

Lol- I'm not a drummer, so I was looking for what was "typical" for cover bands. Sounds like it could go either way.

My main drummer is a band teacher too, so I'm not going to tell him how to play. But I may ask him again, just for grins...

Thanks for all the comments- the funny ones are appreciated (too).

In my current band, each of our last 3 drummers have (unasked) bought a cowbell in their first week or two. We do have a couple of songs that pretty much require it.

Our current drummer doesn't like how it stuffs his sticks up.

No. Unless you play drums in a progressive-technical-death-speed-metal band you don't need more than a four piece kit, 2 cymbals and hats.

i'm more of a wood block guy myself.
