Key Features

• Versatile Mid-Register Voice: Tuned to a highly adaptable 5 1/4" size that acts as the perfect sonic middle ground—yielding a punchy sound with controlled, musical sustain.
• Special Steel Alloy Construction: Formed from a durable, high-quality steel alloy that is built to withstand heavy, repeated stick strikes while maintaining consistent pitch.
• Muffled, Control-Focused Sound: The powder-coated black finish naturally tempers high-end frequencies, yielding a dry, pre-muffled tone that keeps wild, ringy overtones to a minimum.
• Standard Heavy-Duty Mount: Outfitted with an integrated mounting bracket and a secure, easy-to-turn wing screw that mounts firmly onto any standard 3/8" percussion rod.
• Multi-Zone Striking Surface: Play the mouth of the bell for a full-bodied, metallic ping, or tap the side of the body for a drier, wood-block-style rhythmic accent.
