Sizzle Cymbal (in full jazz club fashion) NICE!

I have been working on  some more Jazz recordings at the moment, and thought I’d share this one with the un-initiated. How to make your very own sizzle cymbal to add that shimmer to your Jazz numbers. As you can see from the picture a bath chain tied above the cymbal is all it takes, try it you might like it!

Other similar effects can be gained by drilling and riveting your cymbals perhaps one to try if you have an old damaged cymbal! For the less adventurous ready made rivet cymbals are available in  a wide range of shapes and sizes …now where did I leave my smoking jacket!
