This Black Swamp Disc Bell is a cool, affordable way to add a unique shimmer and chime to your percussion setup. It’s perfect for world music, experimental sound design, or adding a touch of something special to a drum kit – think subtle accents rather than a main melodic voice. The mounting versatility is a real bonus too.

Product Description

  • Black Swamp Percussion Disc Bell 9"/22
  • Circular Sound Plate
  • includes 3 rivets and suspension line
  • Black Swamp Sound Plates are a series of steel metallophones that will uniquely add color
  • texture and creativity to any percussion set up. The circular Disc Bells have a clear
  • clean bell-like tone
  • while the rectangular Anvil Gongs produce a more dense
  • complex sonority. Each shape is available in five sizes
  • which can be laid flat on a trap table
  • as well as suspended or mounted on a cymbal stand using the laser cut holes. Enhancing their natural timbre and sustain
  • plates can also be ""prepared"" with a sizzle effect using the provided rivets. The matte patina finish adds a final level of artistic depth and originality
  • with each Sound Plate being as unique as the individual performing with them.
PROS
  • • Produces a remarkably clear, bell-like tone with surprising sustain for its size.
  • • The included rivets offer easy experimentation with prepared sounds and textures.
  • • Versatile mounting options – table, suspended, or cymbal stand – increase utility.
  • • Black Swamp's matte patina finish provides a visually appealing, unique aesthetic.
CONS
  • • The 9” size limits its low-frequency response; lacks deep resonance.
  • • Prepared sounds (with rivets) can be somewhat brittle and less controllable.
  • • While affordable, the sound may not fully replace a higher-end bell or gong.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s less focused and precise than a tuned bell; more of a wash of sound with a bell-like quality.
It responds well to both! Soft mallets will produce a gentler, more sustained tone, while sticks offer more attack and clarity.
The rivets are attached, but they can be removed with effort; however, doing so will likely leave small marks on the plate.
