Pros
Commanding but controlled. Unique sounds and looks.
Cons
Not suitable for gentle music types. Blue colour might not appeal to everyone.
Verdict
Like Stewart Copeland, the Blue Bell ride is commanding, forceful and loud when necessary, while also being controlled and sophisticated. It's probably not as suitable for more gentle, dynamic-focussed types of music and its appearance might not be to everyone's taste. However, for the energetic player looking for a ride that is capable of being heard while also possessing bags of tonality and character, it's a must see/hear.
