    I was wondering has anyone ever put rivots in their hats.
    How did it sound after you did it, and is it hard do?

    That sounds like a really really REALLY bad idea.

    If you just HAD to do it, practice on a old crap hi-hat.

    This still doesn't guarentee it will turn out fine when you try it on the real thing.

    I haven't seen them in hats for a while and I don't know if hats would be the place to put them anyway. Sometimes they sound cool on rides (just thinking of some Cream footage I was watching a few days ago and Mike Shrieve playing for Santana at Woodstock) - the idea of hats is that you can shut them up when you want to, wouldn't rivets take that away?

    No way would I put rivets in hats.... a ride cymbal yes.... but I'd still make sure it was an old ride cymbal. It can add a nice "sizzle" to the sound of the ride. As far as I know a lot of jazz drummers would do this.

    Yeah, can't see why you'd do it with hats tbh.
    Get a string of beads from your bath (the ones that the stopper is attached to) and trail them on the ride from the nut. You'll get that really sizzly sound.

    Sabian do make Hats with rivets in the bottom half.....in the AA range...called
    sizzle hats... you can sound check them here I've heard them myself and they don't sound too bad.. as long as they're just in the bottom half...they give a nice washy effect when semi-closed. I wouldn't really try it out on a good pair of hats..... try an old pair.

    Jon Bonham used to use the old Paiste 2002 hi-hats with holes in the bottom cymbal, so that air escapes quicker when the top hat comes down and you get a crisper feel.

    Rivets? In hi-hats? No way! Never! NEVER! NEVVERRRGGGHHH!

    I've seen lots of rides with holes (don't say it!) and over time it makes them scructurally unsound and they begin to develop cracks running from the hole to the edge of the cymbal.
