Installing Cymbal Rivets In My New Bosphorus Crash 

You probably should do it that way, but I did it without because that’s what I have available to me.

I agree! Thanks for watching Mike.

Every cymbal has it's own needs!

Yeah, it sure does!

Thanks!

Hoping it serves as inspiration to get behind the kit! Best of luck to you on your new drumming journey.

@@malonedrum Thank you!!

Agreed! I use this all the time now

I'll have to check it out!

Yes, all context based, but for me, this is a great sound.

Thanks!

Muchas gracias!

It's probably just a personal preference, but I like a very articulate/dry snare sound so that I can get away with more dense playing on there and not loose clarity. Really just a personal choice, not some sort of standard jazz approach I'd say.

Thanks for the great instructional video, Mike, as I really like seeing new ideas rather than just hearing about them. When I was a kid in the mid 60’s, I was in a band, and at that time there was a gadget called a Sizzler that I used for the same sound. It was a piece of aluminum or some other very lightweight metal that was threaded, so it just was spun onto the top of the cymbal stand. It had little rivets at each end that laid right on the cymbal, and they sizzled when the cymbal was hit. Each end of this arm had an elbow joint which allowed me to fold it up, so it didn’t sizzle if I just wanted the regular sound, and it folded back down for the sizzle sound. I have looked for these recently but wasn’t successful in finding any. It produced a great sound. Anyway, thanks for you video. I can’t wait to see what is next for all of us.

@@gregwonhoff7161 Thanks

Cool. Personal preference, which is what it’s all about! Thanks for the reply! Best to you!

Thanks Uwe!

@@malonedrum I got a 20“ Pang with 5 rivets from the 70‘s that I just love on my far right.

@@uwepetersen I tried a pang and it was tough for me to find my voice on it, but I adore Mel Lewis and Jeff Hamilton who use them so gracefully.

All of those Bosphorus Cymbals are amazing!

@@malonedrum have one👍

I got the one I like!

Like tie it around the cymbal, and loop it down below the cymbal on the stand?

@@malonedrum yup, if you knot it so u slide it up down u the line to change loop size u can adjust the tension. Might not work well if u crash the cymbal very hard. but for lighter work its fine.

@@deaffatalbruno That's a great hack, and makes sense. I'd probably not be willing to do it every time, but I love the creativity.

It's a jazz kit, so typically drums are tuned much higher in that scenario and application.

Exactly, I’m usually not into rivets in a cymbal over a chain, but in this case, rivets win.

I've been an artist Bosphorus Cymbals for the last 10 years. They didn't send them for free, but my deal gets me a really nice discount and the ability to get cymbals directly from the company.

@@malonedrum Yeah…I don’t know how that works. In my world I have to buy cymbals. 😞

Do cymbal manufacturers get in touch with music majors? It seems like a somewhat common arrangement from what I hear.
