Cowbells, Blocks & Mountable Percussion UK - Into Music Store, Horncastle

Mountable percussion is one of the most effective ways to expand your drum kit's sonic palette without adding significant bulk or complexity. A cowbell, jam block, or mountable tambourine can transform a standard setup into something far more expressive — adding accents, textures, and rhythmic colour that a standard kit simply can't produce on its own.

Our range covers every category of mountable percussion. For cowbells, we stock everything from affordable Meinl Headliner and Stagg options to the Mike Johnston Groove Bell and Anika Nilles Beat Bell signature models. For blocks, Meinl's high and low pitch percussion blocks and wood temple blocks offer a range of tones from sharp and cutting to warm and woody. For tambourines, Meinl's hi-hat tambourines, backbeat tambourines, and mountable tambourines add jingle and shimmer to any part of the kit. Prices start from around £9 upwards for entry-level blocks and accessories.

At Into Music Store in Horncastle, Lincolnshire, we stock one of the largest ranges of mountable percussion available from a UK independent drum retailer, with UK next day delivery available on all orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mountable percussion refers to instruments designed to be attached to a drum kit using clamps, arms, or mounts — including cowbells, jam blocks, temple blocks, tambourines, crasher cymbals, and timbales. They allow drummers to add additional sounds and textures to their setup without requiring a separate stand. Available at Into Music Store online with UK next day delivery available, or in our Horncastle, Lincolnshire showroom.
Popular cowbell choices include the Meinl Headliner series for an affordable entry point, the Mike Johnston Groove Bell for a signature vintage steel tone, and the Anika Nilles Beat Bell for a compact, musical accent. Best for rock and Latin: a standard 6"-8" cowbell. Best for subtle accents: the Beat Bell. Prices start from around £15 upwards. Available at Into Music Store with UK next day delivery available — call 01507 526517 for advice.
A jam block is a solid plastic percussion block that produces a sharp, cutting tone — ideal for live performance where projection is important. A temple block is a hollow wooden block with a warmer, more resonant tone, traditionally used in jazz and orchestral music. Best for jam blocks: rock, pop, and live performance. Best for temple blocks: jazz, world music, and studio recording. Both available at Into Music Store with UK next day delivery available.
A hi-hat tambourine is a small tambourine designed to sit on top of your hi-hat cymbals, adding a jingle and shimmer to every hi-hat stroke. Meinl produce several hi-hat tambourine options in single and dual-row configurations. Best for: drummers who want to add texture and groove to their hi-hat without additional hardware. Available at Into Music Store online with UK next day delivery available, or in our Horncastle showroom.
