Looking for a long cowbell holder for mounting on the bass drum hoop

[Swissward Flamtacles]

I play 18" or 20" bass drums and sit pretty high, so the cowbell ends up pretty low / below my knees. Is there a model with a longer rod so that I can get the cowbell to a more convenient height? Manufacturers / Stores don't seem to provide the length, so I guessed that some of you guys might have some more information. Thanks!

It's not exactly cheap, and made for a mic, but can be used as a cowbell holder as well and will position it just about anywhere you want.

I mount mine off a small clamp so I use this one, it's quite strong and about 5 or 6" rod length. Very adjustable.

If you or anyone you know welds, you can get bar stock and just make yours longer.

Don't know how you're set up, but why not mount it off a cymbal stand? Do you need it mounted on the bass?

These work great super solid.

 

[johnwesley]

Why not just get a long cowbell. Or improvise like me and use a metal bathroom trash can.

I concur with this one. These are great. However, how high do you need the cowbell above the hoop? The L-arm on this one is big, but not sure how much you need. I suppose once you get the hoop clamp section, you can install any L-arm.

If you are still tweaking positions, try the LP Claw on the bottom rim of your snare.

The cheaper option would be to use whatever clamp you already have and contact INDe Drum about making you a custom length aluminum rod. About 10 bucks.

Or go to home depot and get an aluminum rod for like $3 and cut it to size

Yes for a straight rod, but If you need an L rod, chances are you'll have a hard time bending it yourself.

Or steel rod. I pay @ $12 USD for 10' sticks of 3/8" round bar. I have scraps upon scraps, so if anyone wants a length, pm me.
I can also bend to your specs.

nope. Aluminium rod is easily bent by hand, just use a vise.

I had the same issue on an 18" bass drum. I happened to have a straight rod from some other cowbell/percussion mount that I acquired at some point. I just secured that rod to the bass drum cowbell mount's rod with small hose clamps. It sticks up several inches higher...

The DW Hoop-mounted Claw Hook is a solid, well designed option.
