This helps bring out the importance
of mixing percussion and working
with the producer.

You will learn a lot from this video.
I think it's the standard.

That was some funny shit, but since I've seen this skit I can't listen to that BOC song and take it seriously anymore

I think this skit didn't go far enough to explore the ethics of using a cowbell in a rock band.

It would drive me nuts to hear the cowbell player go in and out of the groove (mostly out). The next big offence was having the cowbell player take the liberty of going into your stick bag (without asking) and pulling anything out to dent it up while playing that cowbell.
