If you are into rare sounding percussion which can offer and alternative to the usual sounds found in a percussive set box or if you are generally looking for something different the Meinl Helix Bowl aka Saragosa Line should definitely be at the top of your list!
It produces an either sharp or smooth metallic sound (depending on the way or baguette you play it with) and it can be used/played in a variety of ways. I tried it first dry and then processed via my pedals & FX machines and the results were truly stunning both ways. However, when run though the pedals, delays & reverbs, one can definitely create otherworldly and Space-Age like FX & Sounds.
This percussion is definitely one of a kind and the sound it produces is loud, clean, precise and powerful. The build quality is also excellent, the Saragosa Line is heavy, sturdy and build with love & care - it definitely isn't a cheap piece of percussion.
Highly recommended!
