Why Pearl, WHY? Why did you discontinue this elegant copper finish style of cowbell in favor of the boring black model. Not only is this the sonically best, straight-out-of-the-box, cowbell on the market, it is the best looking cowbell. I have both the HH1 and HH2, and prefer the HH2 a little better more in it's pitch. But these two paired together make a perfect pitch step for a ton of solo ideas. Although I am not a Latin style drummer, I find these incorporate into certain jazz/fusion or jazz/rock styles of playing; like a Dave Weckl or Lenny White (RTF) sort of song. The cowbell has a dry timber, and the ring is not intolerably loud or in anyway's disturbing, which I find is true of a lot of cowbell no matter the size or price. I do use a small (1" X 1.5") refrigerator magnet sheet on the bottom about 1/4" from the mouth, just to reduce some of the volume. These are the best cowbells ever, and Pearl should seriously consider reintroducing them back into production!
