Ice Bells...

[Berk]

Where the flip do you mount these things? on a stand? I think Ive seen some on ride cymbals, But that what I meant by mount.
Any help would be nice.

[Chippy569]

it's a cymbal, just a small one. mount it wherever the hell you want.

think of it as like a 4" splash.

[Massik Kretal]

My question is where do you find em? I can't find any store that sells em.

[Chippy569]

i picked up my zil-bel at my local shop.

GC carried sabian bells last time i was there.

just ask around.

Basically the same as a zilbel

[Chippy569]

hey phil, why don't you flip that?

i always got a better sound outta hitting the bottom lip, which is easier if it's upside down?

might be worth a shot anyway.

[Drum Phil]

I tried that but didnt like it so much. Might try again and actually give it some time.

[Berk]

I saw a guy with it on hid ride?

[Chippy569]

that's perfectly fine too, some rides have ugly bells so people find a nice ice bell. just MAKE SURE you put at least 1 felt between the ride and the ice bell, so that there's no metal to metal contact.

^yea, some guys who do that are Tommy Lee and Morgan Rose from Sevendust, and i think John Dolmayan uses a paiste bell, and i think Mike Wengren from Disturbed has 1

[Berk]

OK, I think Im gonna Buy one.

[Berk]

What type though?

morgan rose does usually keep a zilbel on his ride, john keeps his bell up by his hi-hats though, i dont know about lee or wengren though.

are you going for sabian zildjian or pasite?

do you still have your heart set on an ice bell because the ice bell is a flat disc and i believe only comes in one size(correct me if i'm wrong)

but zildjian is like a thick mini china that comes in 6 or 9.5 measurements. Only problem with bells IMO is that they ring for sssssooooo long. If they rang the amount of time the bell on a ride does than i'd definately grab one. I had a zil-bel but i never liked it(for the reasons stated above)

tommy is rockin' one on his 22'' K Heavy Ride, and wengren has his somewhere, or atleast he used to, i'm fairly sure he uses it on Down with the Sickness, and maybe a few others, but i think he has one

[bobby__johnny]

if your looking for Paiste, the 6" cup chime is pretty well priced...$60 US i think

[Chippy569]

my favorite ice bells are actually made by LP...

Ya i've noticed that, why the hell would he put a bell on that ride, I have that ride and the bell is uber sexy....way better than a zil-bel

[Double Bass Jim]

Yeah the LP ice bells are awesome, they have a different sound then everything else.

i know, k heavy rides are so great, but, tommy lee doesn't strike me as the smartest person, except for the fact he can get chicks to flash him on camera

[Double Bass Jim]

He should be donated to medical research him and barker, you think bio weapons and chemicals are bad? I bet they would find MUCH worse in their blood streams.

[HeLLmO]

yea. but man, i think there is something superhuman, i mean, he seems to have more tatoos then skin

[motleydrummer]
