Also of note is a patented high-impact plastic striking surface at the mouth of the bell that saves sticks and adds projection and volume. Welded to the rear of the bell is a Vice-Clamp Mount v-clamp mount that allows it to fit most popular rod diameters from 9.5mm to ½" while maintaining the strongest hold possible for today’s Rock players. Comments Chad Smith, referring to the classic sketch from Saturday Night Live featuring Christopher Walken and Will Ferrell:

"I've got a fever and the only the only prescription is more Red Hot cowbell."

In striking, monochromatic red, it's stamped with the infamous drummer's signature and is being played on the current Red Hot Chili Peppers 'The Getaway' world tour.
