Gibraltar Bass Drum Cowbell Mount

I've had this mount for a little while, and I can say it reliably keeps a cowbell in place, but there are two problems that need to be adjusted to if you plan on using it. The clamp is all metal, so it can scratch your bass drum hoop without an added form of protection. Sticking a flexible piece of cardboard in between the hoop and the clamp should keep your hoops relatively scratch free. In standard position, the pole does not reach above the snare. I set my snare height at medium to high, and I can't play my bell with my left stick without putting my elbow in an uncomfortable position. This might not be a problem if you set your snare low, if you have a large bass drum (more than 22" diameter), if you only play cowbell with your right hand, or maybe if you use traditional grip. So overall, it's a reliable mount for the price, but there are some adjustable problems with it that can be avoided by buying a more expensive cowbell mount. 2.5/5
