Pearl PCB-6

I bought this bell to augment my cowbell set.

The mount is very simple, not the usual eye-bolt and wing nut but a pretty sturdy winged bolt (not as thick as LP bolts) going through a fixed nut, very old school (like you'd find on a JCR bell). It works fine although I'm more anxious about threading the mounted nut than I would be about threading the replaceable bolt on, say, an LP mount.

The bells are coated in black paint with a satin finish.

Tonally the bells are a little thinner than the higher end ECB bells and naturally more resonant, but there's enough 'click' in the sound to make it playable on a rack. The foam damper is pre-fixed and well-placed.

Generally, it seems Pearl have extended the quality of their more expensive bells down into this budget range; the bell sounds far better than other black bells in this price range.
