Sizzle cymbal?

[Davy Lamb]

Hi,
I’ve had a look and I don’t think there’s a sizzle cymbal in any TT library.
So, I’m putting in a request for one!
If there is one already, please let me know which library it’s in.

Please check out the Instrument Lists for the ‘Americana’ and ‘Nashville’ EZX expansions.
…which does make me wonder about the SDX(s) from which they are derived.

Many thanks, I have the Nashville EZX, and there it is!
As you said, strange they didn’t put it in the Music City SDX (I also own this) as I assume this is the equivalent “pro” kit?

Anyway, many thanks for the reply.

Update!
I was messing with the Music City SDX, and if you select the Brushes kit, the China cymbal IS the sizzle cymbal, but not labelled as such!

A sizzle cymbal is a cymbal to which rivets, chains or other rattles have been added to modify the sound, attached either by means of holes bored in the cymbal or by means of an attachment known as a sizzler. ifacetimeapp

These rattles have two main effects on the tone of the cymbal:

• Most obviously, the sound of the ‘wash’ of the cymbal is made louder and more penetrating, and is dominated by the sound of the rattles themselves.
• Also important but less obvious, the cymbal loses some of its sustain and dynamic range, because whenever there is insufficient energy left in the cymbal to lift the rattles, the sound cuts out sharply.

I just purchaced Nashville EZX. Where did you find the sizzle cymbal option?

[Davy Lamb]

If you right click on the far right cymbal, it’s one of the options for that cymbal.

That explains a lot. I always thought the china in Music City sounded “off”, and now it makes sense.

I have EZDrummer 3 and sizzle doesn’t appear to be an option. Am I in wrong location?

[Davy Lamb]

It’s the next cymbal to the right of the one you have selected.
