A Custom Sizzle Rides

[Disgrace]

I tried one in my local store or thursday. I loved it. I was wondering how versatile it is, what kinds of music they are good for, etc. I would probably order it online though, since it is $280 in the store. Maybe I would order it, and if I think the store one sounds better I will trade them, since they will both be brand new.

Are you aloud to trade them? If so i never knew that.

[Disgrace]

Its a small local store, I should be able to work something out.

Well, sizzles are common in jazz but have wonderful applications in any type of music, although their effect only really works at lower dynamic levels. However, you can buy/make your own sizzles for not too much money at all, so I don't know if the "sizzle ride" is necessarily worth it. I would recommend getting a set of sizzles and trying them out on other cymbals (probably your own, but if the store will let you do it on their cymbals, even better!) to compare the sounds and find what works best for you.

well, i just got sizzle hats, and they work well in most genres, so i'd assume the same would go for sizzle rides.

Sizzle rides are awesome... Im not sure what you can use them for but there sweet

[Disgrace]

How do you add your own sizzles?

Bacon.


Actually, I think they sell little things that are like those chains with the tiny little metal balls that they put dogtags on to make things sizzle.

[lmldrummer]

or put a dog tag chain on there, same thing

i did that once, and it does only work good at very low volume

They can be used in rock or metal quite well for that 'wall of noise' sound.

Really washy.

Listen to Jon Theodore on Deloused in the Comatorium.

His ride has sizzles and creates an awesome sound.
