I have one also. It screws on a smaller diam. cymbal stand then I use. I may widen it to see. I don't remember liking it that much.

Blair, how far in are the Paiste holes? Thanks.

Haven't seen a Paiste rivet cymbal in a while....

I wanna say they are 2" in from the edge?

Thanks. That's about what I've been doing, except 4 in a row, about an inch apart.

I would like to try some different placement, though.

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.http://vintagedrumforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=23414&d=1291499210

I think the one I saw was a little smaller then that. Thanks though!

A. Zildjian normally put 6 rivets in their cymbals.Turkish K's had 8Paiste doesn't believe in rivets too much,but when they do,it is 4.........at 3,6,9,12 o'clock.

I have a 20" K jazz ride from I'm guessing the 80's, maybe early 90's. It has three rivets in a row, maybe an inch apart each. I always thought it came from the factory that way. Sounds great, so smooth.

I was talking about Turkish made K's........not USA

I don't think A.Zil offered 3 rivets in a row from the factory,but not sure.

in the sixty's i had a sizzler that attached to the cymbal stand on top it had rivets on the end with steel balls if i remember it had arms like windshield wiper arms that threaded to the mount it was cool i think i had a rivet cymbal A from Biascoes for a minute in the 60's middle to late 67 id say what a year for everything that was

oh the summer of 67

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

A. Zildjian normally put 6 rivets in their cymbals.

So I have a 50's large stamp A that has 4 rivet holes. I removed

the rivets last year. I wonder if my cymbal came factory special

ordered with the 4 rivets or if they were added later since you

are saying they usually came with 6.

Reason I took the rivets out in the first place is that those old A's

seem to have a lot of natural sizzle and wave that I wanted to check

out the sound without the rivs...

Found it!!
