STEWART COPELAND

Well yesterday, I finally got a Blue Bell Ride! It's used but I got a good deal on it. The thing is incredible - nice stick attack, dry, but it opens up nicely when you get her going, with a gorgeous crash. It's EXACTLY the same as the sample on the Paiste site - I don't know how they do it! And don't get me started on the bell.

I know Stewart would shoot me for saying this but this baby has a lot of Jazz in it! Now, all I need is another Fast Crash and a 602 Flat Ride and the Paiste setup will be complete.

Anyone out there who hasn't tried this cymbal should definitely check one out (if you can find one - shops don't seem to be stocking them - no clue why).

Post a picture, zilboy, please!!!

It really doesn't look any different from any other Blue Bell. And besides, can't take a pic because my son has loaded the camera memory card!

There's usually a few Paiste flat rides on ebay.

Congrats ZB!

Enjoy the hours you're going to spend pinging it.

That burly-ass bell could be used as a fire alarm!

Cheers

No, it's the Blue Bell that no one's stocking. My fave drum shop has a couple of the 602 Flats but it'll be a while before I can afford one.

I gave it a good 2 hour break-in last night. It's probably not suitable for my current band, but it's nice to have it just the same.

That's awesome!

Maybe I'm getting this wrong, is it the one with the Rhythmatist logo or another one?
