3. Dunno, But . . .
It's all over Santana's albums. Primarily used in Latin music, with timbales, tambourine, jawbone and congas.

4. I have asked this question for years...
Truly, not since Tommy Lee has the cowbell been featured in rock as it should have been.

Also, a bit O/T the Farfisa organ. :)

8. Have you seen the "Rush in Rio" DVD?
Neil Peart's "O Baterista"? He tears it up. He has a small cowbell riff that's pretty cool.
