Beautiful sound!

I installed these on a 20" Bosphorus Masters ride that I'd originally drilled for the larger, heavier Sabian rivets. Those are great too, but I definitely prefer these. They're smaller, lighter, and more easily excited, and leave more of the cymbal's stick definition and natural tone unaffected by the sizzle. The heavier Sabian rivets are a good choice if you want to have a very sizzle-heavy effect and less of the cymbal's original sound. I have three of these in a cluster and the sound is absolutely glorious.
These are the best

These rivets are incredible. Since they are brass and properly sized I put all eight equally space in a dream vintage bliss 1.5" from the edge. Not overpowering and can still get good stick definition. Got the jazz sizzle sound I've been seeking for awhile. Also recommend the vintage bliss for this application since it is reasonably priced and a perfect match for these.

The Bosphorus rivets are lighter and smaller than most others on the market, so when installed in a hole drilled to fit this size, the sizzle is extremely smooth and light. You may want more of these installed as compared to the larger rivets if you're wanting a very loud sizzle, but personally I think these are the best available.

These are brass and sound great, however the ends are very sharp even when installed. I sliced the underside of my finger while packing up from a gig. A bit of a bloody mess but all's well now. I will probably remove them as I don't want to have to remember this hazard each time I pack.

These work great on my Mel Lewis factory-drilled rivet holes.
