I dont believe so. You just have to make sure that they aren't actually riveted tightly.
I have a riveting gun.. it takes rivets and shoots them through the metal and clasps them all in one motion, but it's meant as a binding... so it doens't do them loosely. I don't know how you'd go about putting them in loosely.

explorers percussion in WI, USA puts 'em in, for free IIRC but maybe a small fee.

If you can get the traditional rivets that dont use a gun- the ones that need a big metal block and a hammer then you can control the loosness of them.

amen... how it's done.


if you can put a rivet in a sheet of steel, and a cymbal is a sheet of bronze, what's the difference?

Cant you just drill a hole & pop a rivett in it? Just make it the hole slighty larger
