    Hey guy n gals .....

    Here'a little off topic for all my fellow drummers , who might like to
    have a cymbal / ( two) ; with that beautiful long 'Sizzler" sound.

    I found a guy on ebay , who sell's the EXACT & pro Rivets for this purpose!!
    You could use your imagination for this one too !! Either using a 18" / 20"
    Crash - ride cymbals to sizzle , or get real COOL ; and do one 'er two of
    your China Type trash cymbals ! ! ! .... its such an Excellent effect !!

    Get 'em right here on Ebay , (or call) : ('Jim') , Direct on phone to make your
    order. ("Comes - #100 rivets to a pack !!"); so watch 'cha dont get to crazy and
    Create 20 cymbal's that become sizzlerz !! .... LOL ! ! !

    My last drummer did that. Only problem is he beat the crap out of them like he was tommy lee. Half a cymbal with those on the surviving side sound odd and always a little comical.

    Yeah , Its should be used on a medium to heavy type cymbal.
    And its really not about 'beating or hitting' , them really hard.

    The way I got inspired to use this type of cymbal , was by
    'Ginger Baker' ; while he was playing in the band call 'Blind Faith'.
    Gawd ...... like when I was 14-15 years old !!! And it ran shivers
    thru me gizzered !! (ie: listen to 'Cant find my way home') ; It'll
    please your ears like nothing before , toward the ending of the song !!

    The 'style' it just kills on , is while you use brushes ..... man !!!!
    But the 'real' secret is a sweet hall verb with "reversed" decay on it.
    It'll AMAZE you , take yer breath away.

    If your looking to get that 'WHO sound crash' : (ie: who are you??).
    Like at the intro of the tune. you gotta use a medium 22" to 24" cymbal.
    "And for sure .... ALWAYz , drill your holes atleast an 1" to an 1 1/2"
    "(measured from the outer edge - toward the cup of the cymbal !!)"

    NJ0y !!
