Eguie -- you're fantastic! As an aspiring timbalero myself, I'm curious about how you'd go about tunning a 2-pair set up (e.g., 4 drums)? Also, what is the lowest pitch cowbell that they make? I have a Rock Ridge cowbell and it doesn't sound as deep as the one used on Santana's "Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen"?
