Meinl Gravity Bell – MGB

The Meinl MGB Gravity Bell is an innovative, dual-purpose percussion tool designed for drummers who want instant tonal control and new sonic textures. Crafted from a heavy, special steel alloy, this 5.5" bell is engineered to sit directly on your snare or floor tom drumhead. Its significant weight provides immediate dampening, killing unwanted overtones and creating a "fat," compressed studio sound without the need for gels or tape. Beyond dampening, the bell serves as a playable surface, offering a sharp, cutting metallic "ping" that allows you to integrate melodic accents directly into your backbeat.

Key Features

• Gravity-Based Dampening: The 2.75 lb. heavy steel construction applies natural pressure to the drumhead, effectively drying out the sound and shortening sustain.

• Playable Surface: Functions as a high-pitched effect bell, allowing you to strike it with sticks for sharp metallic accents while it remains on the drum.

• Non-Permanent Modification: Designed to sit freely on the head, making it easy to add or remove instantly between songs without adhesive residue.

• Special Steel Alloy: Forged from a durable, high-density alloy that provides a consistent weight and a clear, musical tone when struck.

• Modern Aesthetic: Features a rugged black finish that is both stylish and resistant to stick marks, fitting perfectly with any modern drum setup.

Specifications

The Meinl Gravity Bell is a game-changer for drummers who need a versatile way to shape their snare or tom sound on the fly. Whether you are looking for that thick, vintage "thump" or a unique metallic voice to cut through the mix, this bell delivers both with professional-grade durability.
