Sizzle cymbals are a type of cymbal used in drumming that produce a unique, sustained sound. They are created by adding metal rivets or chains to a standard cymbal, which causes a buzzing effect when struck. This sound is often described as warmer and more complex than that of regular cymbals, making them popular in various music genres, including jazz and rock. Musicians often use sizzle cymbals to enhance their drum kits and add texture to their performances. They can be played in combination with other cymbals, such as hi-hat cymbals or crash cymbals, to create dynamic rhythms and accents.
