Add cutting sizzle and defined movement to your cymbals with our 5-Pack Cymbal Rivets from GM Designs, now available in three options: Steel, Steel Split, or Brass Split.
Our standard steel rivets produce a pronounced, higher-frequency shimmer with a lively, cutting texture that works especially well on crashes, rides, and effects cymbals in louder settings. Because these steel rivets are not split, they require installation with a hammer and/or rivet setter.
Our new steel split rivets offer a similar bright, cutting sizzle, but with the added convenience of easier installation. They are a great option for drummers who want the crisp, energetic response of steel without the need for the traditional hammer-in style rivet.
Our brass split rivets deliver a warmer, more vintage-style sizzle with a smoother, darker decay that blends beautifully into the cymbal’s wash. They also come ready to use for quick and easy setup.
For a different style of sizzle effect, check out our handmade B20 Alloy Tambourine Jingles, available in Traditional or Sandblasted finishes. These add bold metallic texture and movement to your cymbals and are offered in single, 2-pack, and 4-pack options. Explore more at gmdcymbals.com
