A wonderful cymbal that I wanted a touch more sustain out of

Perfect, sustains the cymbal sound very well.

My cymbal was lacking that soulful jazz

When I place the sizzler on a smoother/machined cymbal, the sizzle decays nicely and evenly as expected.

This was along the timeline when the "Sizzler" cymbal came out (which I could not afford and I didn't want to drill holes in my cymbal in case it didn't work out), so, as an alternative I laid a piece of heavy beaded chain from a bathtub stopper over the cymbal and it simply continued to 'sizzle' like bacon.

For use on a 20" China cymbal, I trimmed the beaded chain to be even with the cymbal edge as recommended.

It stops immediately when you choke the cymbal

Unusable as a substitute for the classic cymbal with rivets.

Not at all like are real riveted cymbal, which is what I really wanted

This will take the darkest sounding cymbal in the deadest room and give it enough sustain to bring it back to life
