I want to turn an old Avedis into a sizzle

From Shawn M

I drilled my heavy 18" ride recently for 3 rivets and am very happy.I used the dental floss method to find the sweet spot for rivet location first, and to decide if I loved the sound.Then out came the hand drill. A little clean up with some emery cloth to knock off/down any ridges and in went the rivets.I love it.[IMG]http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6103/6218251003_d93052a2b1_z.jpg[/IMG]

Your rivets look like copper. Is that correct? If so, where did you get them?

i buy my copper rivets from the hardware store. they are split rivets and come in different sizes. a box of plenty is very inexpensive.

Mark, they are copper. I got them from JazzCat on Cymbalholics.

I understand how to install the split rivets from the hardware store but how or what do you use to flare the end of an actual cymbal rivet so that it stays attached to the cymbal?
