Okay, in the 'favourite instrument' thread I've seen a few posts with people saying that bells suck.
Why do you think that, anyone that does?

I haven't seen any posts like that, but I know I think that bells are awesome. Their only downside is that they hurt your ears sometimes.

if anyone says that bells sucks its because they probably can't play them well. all instruments are awesome as long as the player is skilled

Well, most people don't like the bells because the don't know how to play them. And they hear the people who don't know how to play them pinging away irritatingly and it annoys everybody else.
But if somebody who is playing the bells knows what their doing and knows how to lay them correctly they can be beautiful, even more so than double mallet's on a marimba in 6/8 time. biggrin

I love mallet instruments. Marimba is beautiful. but the bells i don't like just because they are to high pitched for me. *its not that i cant play them, i can* (tho there are songs that sound awesome on bells, i will admit.)

I agree with matticus_the_great smile
Usually, people think the bells are quite annoying
but when someone skilled comes along it's just another instrument
However it's always a good laugh when a younger member gives a frowning expresion when hear they have to play the bells. You can tell tehy don't want to.

RandomStarWarsFreak BELLS RULE, I know cuz i play 'em. but they can be annoying if they play really high stuff and if the player isn't very good (like me, I suck) or if you don't have the right kind of mallets. we have really hard mallets for our bells, and it just makes playing them make people's ears bleed.

I'm not too big a fan of bells cause of the high pitch makes my ears bleed which is why I like xylophone and marimba better

WTF Rino?
But, The Glockenspiel (bells for you retards that don't know their real name), Are great and all but I am only able to use those when I am helping someone tune an instrument. Otherwise I find the short 2.5 Octives not very practical.

I think i know why some poeple think that mallets. They think that al you need to do actually hit a note but it's not a simple as it looks.
