I have a used Meinl hand hammered cowbell on the way from Ebay. I was wondering what uses for cowbell and cowbell grooves you might suggest. Minus the over used and joked about classic rock quarter notes groove?

Lisa, the Mozambique rhythm is also a popular one a lot of guys used. Steve Gadd brought it to the forefront back in the 80's with Paul Simon's, "Late in the Evening".

Thanks to all of you. I really appreciate the input. I must admit I have the Groove Essentials DVD but never bothered with the Mozambique. Maybe I should consider taking the time with it. Not sure I have the independent coordination to pull it off.
I love the clave stuff and learned it a while back but I usually play that part using cross sticks. If you play it on cowbell instead then do you do anything with the snare or just keep time on the hats?
I really want to incorporate the bell in some funk grooves like Kay-gee mentioned and hopefully find a place to work it in at church. I really love the Latin beats but don't have an outlet to use them.

With funk grooves, leave a space for the snare drum. You can take any kind of syncopated right hand thing and leave a space at the 2 and 4, then make a cowbell groove out of it.
This may sound weird but check out Procol Harum's "Whiskey Train" and "Poor Mohammed"-B.J.Wilson on drums. Great use of the cowbell.

Keysanddrums, great point. I am going to play with this concept and have fun with it.
SLinglander, I will certainly check out these songs. Much appreciated.
Thank you both so much!!!

Funky stickingsI was doing some of that earlier today on a cowbell and it sounded pretty sweet.

Okay, I got the sticking pattern on the Mozambique down fairly well. A couple utube tutorials didn't hurt.
Now, where does the kick drum go, typically?

Another sweet one that i really like is Travis Barker's beat for the verses in Blink 182's "I'm Fellin This" It's awesome!
