In a Zildjian video "Sound Legacy - Travis Barker", Barker talks about his cymbal setup and how the 21" Sweet Ride plays a role:
"While playing with Transplants and Blink, I feel like my cymbal setup just gets bigger. I always played 19, 20 inch crashes. Sometimes I'll use the Sweet Ride as a crash/ride (the 21"), and I'll just use it as a straight crash sometimes."
From the Sound Legacy - Travis Barker video: "I just started using the new 23 inch Sweet Ride, which is my favorite cymbal. It's been my favorite cymbal for years. I think Daniel gave me my first one about 5 or 6 years ago, and the fact that I could ride on it when I wanted to and it still sounded pingy enough to ride... and then when it came time when I needed to crash/ride - or just use it as a crash when I needed something bigger than what I had on my kit that was just meant for crashes - it was amazing.
Travis has switched out his longtime choice of Ride, the 21"/23" A Sweet Ride Brilliant, for a custom Brilliant version of the 21" K Sweet Ride. He has been using this since the K Sweet cymbals were released by Zildjian in early 2018.
