3 stars...  I don't like the way it mounts.  To use it as intended, I would have to get different felts/posts or whatever is needed...
Also, you are expected to cut the "sizzler", to match the size of your cymbal.  That's fine I guess, but i don't want to cut it and then desire to use it on a larger cymbal, later.
I tried it on a Zildjan ride that is at least partially hand hammered...  The ride has a "wavering" decay...  The sizzler doesn't react/bounce properly on the ride, for my taste.
To get the smooth sizzle I hoped for, I think I need a different ride.
I don't believe the issue I have with the product is due to the product itself.  When I place the sizzler on a smoother/machined cymbal, the sizzle decays nicely and evenly as expected.
