"Meet Alex Van Halen's new shiny machine!" As it states on vanhalenstore.com. It is the Latin Percussion 8" Alex Van Halen Signature Cowbell, embossed with both Alex's signature and the iconic Van Halen logo. This, and several other items where launched by LP at the 2025 NAMM Show in Anaheim, California. This limited edition, as stated by the webstore, will make you the envy of any Van Halen fan. It is based on LP's classic Bongo Cowbell and features a Jenigor Ridge Rider bar for dampening and durability along with a self-aligning eye-bolt that mounts to any 3/8" to 1/2" diameter rod.

Van Halen songs with Cowbell
Alex's powerful and dynamic drumming style and voice are as unique and instantly recognizable as Edward's guitar sound. While he is best known for his tight swing and double-bass shuffles, one thing remains constant: Alex plays what is right for the song. This includes his tasteful use of cowbell in classics such as, Dance The Night Away, Outta Love Again, Hear About It Later, and House Of Pain, among several others throughout the Van Halen catalog.

"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."
- Alex van Halen

Available at the Van Halen online store for $99.99 and for around €140 in Europe, which we consider both ridiculously high prices for such instruments - even when limited, but hey, Rock Stars are allowed to earn some extra's as well! Yet, you might want to prepare for some price adjustments soon because of some stupid tarrifs that are being installed.
