The man, the mystery, the myth...

 

Gene Frenkle was a man without peers. He rose to the top of his chosen field. He didn't bother with being a jack of all trades when it came to percussion, he became a specialist. A master. A craftsman in the art of playing cowbell.

He was a man ahead of his time. Decades later even after the height of his career and his popularity waned his influence still burns brightly as millions of youngsters follow in his footsteps to reignite the memory of Gene Frenkle as they take up arms and succumb to the cowbell fever.
