It is unknown exactly what make and model of cymbals were used on Barrett's drum set, although it is very likely that they were made by the Avedis Zildjian Company in the United States and imported into Jamaica; certainly in many of the later photos and videos of the band the Zildjian logo was noticeably present on his cymbals. Barrett used only a pair of hi-hat cymbals usually 14" in size, (relatively light in weight, thought to perhaps be Zildjian's new beat models which were there most popular type), at times with a cloth placed between the two cymbals. He also usually used at least two crash cymbals (most likely of medium weight), sometimes more, that were any combination of 14", 16", 17" and 18" sizes. However, due to the nature of Barrett's style, in which the snare drum, bass drum, and hi-hat cymbals were the primary timekeeping instruments, he did not use a ride cymbal though some photos do show him with smaller, splash-type effect cymbals.
