Daniel Jensen, Travis Barker's drum tech, points out at the 1:12 mark of the video that Travis Barker is using a Zildjian 18" Oriental China.

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.

"The hi-hats that Barker uses are the 14” A Custom Mastersound set, which produces a crisp, tight sound when closed and can reach high volumes when played open. An 11” K Custom Hybrid splash cymbal is also a staple of his drum set, used for accenting and variation."

"In terms of crash cymbals, Barker utilizes the 20″ Oriental Crash of Doom, which cuts through the mix like a hot knife through butter."

"Three-ride cymbals are commonly found on Barker’s live drum set. First, there’s the smaller 20” K Ride, which is more of a crash/ride hybrid cymbal. Then there’s the slightly larger Brilliant A Sweet Ride cymbal, which at 21” in diameter, produces a bright, expressive tone. "

"The final ride cymbal that Barker often uses is the 24” K Light Ride, which produces a powerful, clear sound and is perfect for his style of heavy rock and punk drumming."
