What is the Evans Cymbal Sizzler and how does it enhance my cymbals?

The Evans Cymbal Sizzler is an accessory designed to add a unique "sizzle" or "wash" effect to your cymbals. It creates a sustained, shimmering sound, similar to a rivet cymbal, without permanent modification. This effect is perfect for jazz, ballads, or any musical style where you want to add extra texture, sustain, and complexity to your cymbal sounds.

How do I attach the Evans Cymbal Sizzler to my cymbal?

Attaching the Evans Cymbal Sizzler is quick and easy. It features a new ball-joint design that allows for swift and simple attachment and removal from the edge of your cymbal. No tools or permanent modifications are required. You can easily move it between different cymbals or adjust its position to fine-tune the amount of sizzle effect you desire.

What kind of sound can I expect from the Cymbal Sizzler?

The Cymbal Sizzler produces a distinct, shimmering wash that adds a layer of sustained resonance to your cymbal's natural sound. It's often described as a "rivet" sound, providing a longer decay and a more complex harmonic texture. This effect can make your crashes more dramatic, your rides more ethereal, or add a unique character to any cymbal in your setup.

Is the Evans Cymbal Sizzler compatible with all types of cymbals?

Yes, the Evans Cymbal Sizzler is designed for broad compatibility. Its ball-joint design allows it to be used effectively on most cymbal types, including crashes, rides, and even hi-hats. This versatility means you can experiment with adding sizzle to various parts of your drum kit to discover new sonic possibilities.

How many Cymbal Sizzlers are included in this pack?

This product is a 2-pack, meaning you receive two individual Evans Cymbal Sizzlers. This allows you to enhance multiple cymbals in your drum kit simultaneously or keep a spare. Having two sizzlers gives you flexibility to experiment with different sounds and textures across your setup.
