Abstract
A sizzler construction which is usable in combination with a conventional cymbal element and the like to provide a sizzle effect in the sound produced upon impact of the cymbal element. The sizzler includes a chain which overlies the upper surface of the cymbal and which preferably comprises a plurality of loosely interconnected independent metallic ball elements. When the cymbal element is impacted with a drumstick or the like the ball elements independently bounce or vibrate on the upper surface of the cymbal element to provide the desired sizzle effect in the sound produced.
