As said on many other posts, what sounds best to you. Thats the one to buy. Let us know what you try and what they are like.

ok. yea i heard an ice bell and a zil bel and i think the ice bell sounds betetr and its cheaper.

i wish they were really cheap so you could buy a couple of em or something! the devil wears prada has some really cool "bell" parts. check out guitar center is what i'd do and try em and get some opinions from staff n whatnot. good luck!

I'm thinking of trading my 9.5 inch bell for a 6" zillbell

I bought a 10" ice bell a long long time ago. I wish I'd gone with a smaller bell. That army helmet just rings on and on.

Consider whose bell sound it is you're trying to emulate. Find out what they use, then try them all. You'll make a much more informed choice that way.
