ZildjianFX Blast Bell
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Developed with Matt Greiner, the FX Blast Bell takes a lower-profile, wire-brushed approach to the familiar Zil-Bel concept. Its lower pitch and shorter note are aimed at a bell sound that sits musically in the mix while still being heard. Piggyback it on an existing ride cymbal when you want a more accessible bell target and a more consistent strike point during a part.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding a piggyback bell target to an existing ride cymbal for more consistent strikes.
- Parts that need an audible bell sound with a shorter, lower-pitched note.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players seeking a longer, higher-pitched bell note.
