Josh Dun's Gear
In a video by rolandmedia, Josh Dun of Twenty One Pilots discusses using Roland RT-10 Series Acoustic Drum Triggers with silent drumheads during their B-stage performances to ensure latency alignment.

This is the snare that he uses when he drums in the crowd
at 0:15 you can see moongel on the floor tom and the snare
On the Remo website is a list of the Remo equipment that Josh uses. The Quick Lock Hi Hat Clutch allows for quick changing of hi-hats with a lock-notch system rather than a typical threaded system. By pressing a locking pin assembly, cymbals can be quickly and simply changed out between tunes at a gig. This outstanding accessory eliminates any possibilities of Hi-Hat cymbals loosening while playing.
Josh Dun uses the Zildjian 18" A Custom EFX cymbal, as shown on the Zildjian website. The cymbal's distinctive size and sound distinguish it from his other cymbals.
Josh Dun uses the Danmar Wicked Stick Holder, a choice he has maintained since the early days of his career. Despite its lesser-known brand status, its consistent presence suggests he values its functionality. You can spot it on his hi-hat stand during the Twenty One Pilots performance at the iHeart Radio Festival, as shown in the video from 1:14 to 1:19.
You can plainly see the exact boom arm in this image.
Josh Dun uses Seismic Audio (6 Pack) Red 50' XLR Microphone Cables for his microphones, as shown in the image sourced from Cincopa. It’s possible he now opts for a different color.

At 3:10 you can see the Roland digital snare pad.
Josh explains how, because of slapback they had to use silent heads on the drums on the b-stage and use the roland triggers.

At 7:25 Josh says that he switched over to the SJC Foundation hardware. Also on https://www.instagram.com/p/BpDy1-Wgyn9/?taken-by=unitedcenter you can see that he no longer uses DW hradware by the wingnuts on the cymbal stands
