Gon Bops BAG011 Tumbao Agogô Bell 7” & 5.5” (Heavy Gauge Steel) w/ V-Clamp Mount.
This is a VERY dry cowbell designed for mounted use in a drum set or timbale setup. Very thin steel helps with the dryness of the sound. The interval between the two bells is close to a major third, but agogos tend to vary a lot even for the same model, though most go to a tritone or fourth, some even go to a fifth but generally no higher than that.
These are fairly small and high-pitched, closer to LP's standard set than their large set overall. Also way dryer than the LP agogos (except for their no-longer-available special dry model).
The Gon Bops vise mount is probably the best in the business (LP uses a similar one or some of their signature cowbells, but they don't sell a pre-mounted agogo pair).
As I am using agogos mounted to my timbale set vs. my drum set, I switched to LP this week just because this blends a bit better with my LP cowbells sonically. But theirs is also wetter. The harmonics are a bit different though, which is why I find the LP agogos to blend better with their salsa bells and bongo/timbale bells.
I use handheld agogos for most work, which is why I don't need to keep this Gon Bops pair around just for its dryness. My handheld models are imports from Brasil and aren't available ordinarily in this country. But they are nigh impossible to mount on a kit!
I have only played these a few times in my smoke-free studio.
The Tumbao series from Gon Bops is no longer in production and also includes some very dry cowbells, which I owned until selling last year. In that time I have managed to collect some specialty handmade models for most of my world percussion.
