these are older. could be the Ludwig& Ludwig sizzle cymbal. I think they had 6 large discs/sizzlers. there is one shown in the 1940 Ludwig & Ludwig catalog.

(Please post a photo of your "Sizzle " cymbal). Regardless of the name, these cymbals weren't meant to be played in the regular way, but came w/ a special notched stick that was run over the edge for a special effect sound. They do not give a cool sizzle voice, but more of a ratchet. (Check out the search, archived threads for more information & photos of the cymbal & stick), there have been several past threads on this unique instrument).

Your chances of ever finding the vintage sticks are very low. However, here is an example of a modern version. I got these at a handout at the Hollywood drum show a few years ago,..."RhythmSaw" by Johnny Rabb.
