"Sizzles or "rivets" applied to cymbals give the sonic illusion of a
longer sustain, and give a somewhat softer attack sound. A common
question that is asked is what kind of cymbal should be used for
riveting. Very easy. Start with a good sounding cymbal, and your result
will be a good sound with the rivet effect. There really is no set rule
on whether it is better to use a heavy or light cymbal because both work
well, depending on what you like, or what situation your working with.
If you like a heavier ride, for example, the rivets will give you the
sizzle effect along with the definition you enjoy from that ride. With a
lighter ride cymbal, the rivets will only enhance the light sound,
giving the cymbal a bit of a dryer quality. Have fun with using the
sizzle sound, and you'll find yet another addition to your sound arsenal."
