Latin Percussion (LP) is introducing the new Alex Van Halen Signature 8” Cowbell.
Alex Van Halen, drummer and co-founder of the influential rock band Van Halen, has a unique playing style and exceptional timing. His new memoir, Brothers, tells the story of one of rock’s closest family partnerships and is published in October of 2024. Famously, in the intro to Dance the Night Away, Alex uses a cowbell to set the tone of the whole song.

The new, American-made Alex Van Halen Signature 8” Cowbell is based on the classic LP Bongo Cowbell. The chrome-plated, mountable bell is embossed with Alex’s signature and the iconic Van Halen logo. It is fitted with the patented Jenigor Ridge Rider Bar for dampening and durability and the patented, self-aligning eye-bolt that mounts to any 3/8” to ½” diameter rod. It pumps out high pitch sound with dry overtones making it great for punching accents into any big groove.
Alex Van Halen says: “I have loved every minute of working with LP to create my signature cowbell. It’s incredibly versatile, and its distinctive ‘tonk’ will add to the sonic landscape of almost any genre of music.”
To paraphrase the ageless Saturday Night Live skit, ‘Maybe your life needs more cowbell?’
