Looks like an Earth Ride to me.

I had one for a day or two... it had no holes.

I have not found a way to get a good sizzle sound without having actual rivets. I have a promark sizzle and it is not quite as smooth. I have tried taping dimes to a cymbal and it worked pretty well. Once I saw Duke Ellingtons nephew, (I believe his name is Steve) playing drums. He had these cool little things that he stuck onto the cymbal stand up near the felt. They looked like little wires that had small metal cups on the ends and they would dangle on top of the cymbal. Those sounded cool.

To answer your question, it's hard to get a good sound without drilling.

Anyone out there have any other recommendations for not drilling?

I have never found anything as smooth as rivets, either.

That cymbal looks so dry the rivets may have added desired sustain.

I am going to slap some rivets in her since the holes are there and I am sure it will sound cool. ...but I wouldn't drill in a nice expensive cymbal. I would probably buy a Wuhan and drill on it or string metal beads off a nice cymbal.

Oh yea, no lathing and you are right, it sounds very dry.

I think I saw some on www.drumfactorydirect.com the "spider type that you mount on top of the bolt and they spread across the cymbals and you can flip them up and down and adjust them to any amount of contact to make a light to very heavy sizzle. Anyway, go to the site and if you can't readily find it, call and ask, they will get you hooked up. I cannot remember for the life of me what they are called, but if you tell them it is a cymbal sizzle that attaches to the stand and is adjustable for different sizes they should be able to get to the right part.

Here is a link for some really good rivets.

A. Zildjian normally put 6 rivets in their cymbals.

Look at this pic, the ride has one of those neat little sizzlers on it. That is what I am trying to describe to you.
