Man, hearing Billy saying getting a tighter feel from a band you've been playing with for a while is such a crazy refreshing moment. Catching lightning to add him to that band. Solid timing, having a distinct sound, augmenting the songs as a piece of a greater whole, and ends up influencing so many people across generations...everyone looking to start a band are looking for that drummer. Tre is amazing. Thanks for this episode!
"play the song and not the instrument" is something that every musician at any level should take heed of. This philosophy takes good musicians/bands to an extra level Also mad love to Tre Cool, I grew up on Green Day and still listen to them on an almost daily basis More of this please Drumeo!
It’s kind of funny how far that mentality spreads to other areas of life. Being in the medical field I was taught to “treat the patient not the disease”, meaning 2 people with high blood pressure will probably respond differently to the same treatment. So, be flexible and be able to adapt to the patient’s condition. Growing up on kerplunk and dookie, it’s pretty cool to hear that tre felt the same way about his music and it showed with how diverse and adaptable he was to the band over the years!
exactly!!! It was 1994 and I was recording with my band in LA and we were being looked at by a major label and I told my drummer to listen to green day and he was like "he just plays fast" and I tried telling him to listen the song not the tempo and he just didn't get it. We played a show and the A&R guy said "you need a different drummer" I got a new drummer and spent many years as a musician after that. Tre Cool was a huge influence to this guitar player!
@@PharmDRx In basketball it's sacrificing your game for the good of your team. Even the most successful greats have done this. On the other side, you see teams with the talent on paper but too many guys trying to be the alpha and it all falls apart.
Dude's fills are unreal. Absolutely. And still inspiring drummers. My oldest daughter (13) started listening to Green Day recently and I've found her with an old pair of sticks from Rock Band, headphones on, playing books on the floor. She might end up with some drums for Christmas this year... And we're seeing the band in a few weeks. She's STOKED.
I'm not even a drummer but I saw Green Day live for the first time this year playing all of both Dookie and American Idiot and I can attest to the fact that the energy in his drumming is phenomenal ! Made all of the songs feel special.
Tre's drumming on Dookie inspired me, having no musical inclination before that moment as a 16 year-old, to pick up some sticks and learn the drums, form bands and play gigs - he is an absolute legend in my book and thank you for shining a spotlight on him.
One of my favorite things about Tre is the way he hits the hi-hats so consistently on his grooves. No push-pull or Moeller technique, just straightforward “chopping onions” feel
I feel people sometimes forget how legendary Green Day are because of their punk beginnings. They’ve solidified themselves as one of the most important bands of the last 40 years and Tre is the very beating heart of it all.
Actually what happened is they sold out to play for 15 year old kids. So most adults remember their punk beginning, then the good music stopped. Why do you think people want to hear basket case all the time?
@@MassimoPiacere punk rock is punk, its just the longer name for it. Punk is a kind of rock. Green day are punk. If they're any type of punk its pop punk, and theyd be the creators of it.
just caught them on tour this week. I’m fully amazed and impressed each of them all at 52 years old (but Tré especially) have the energy to play 37 songs, at two and a half hours straight. A song from Saviors, all of Dookie, 3 hits and 3 more Saviors tracks, all of American Idiot, a final Saviors song and Good Riddance-totally tight from beginning to end without so much as a full minute break at most, outside of when he performs “All By Myself” I love Green Day so much; Tré’s infectious grooves and dedication to serving the song were *instrumental* in me feeling like I NEEDED to become a drummer so I could do it too. Absolute legend who deserves the praise he receives in this video and elsewhere. 🫡
Tre Cool and Travis Barker were like the bookends to my early drumming education. Tre taught me what notes needed to be played, Travis taught me all the notes I could ever hope to play 😂
he taught me how to be a good drummer, how to play to the song, to play punk rock and go really fast, but most importantly to have versatility and try to be as much complete as you can, tre is fucking awesome, I love him
It’s great how you guys did this about Tre. The guy is a great drummer. Doesn’t overplay the songs but has creating so many iconic songs🤘 What’s your favourite song? St. Jimmy is mine 🤘
Tré is one of the few drummers who can consistently play the hi-hats like he's cutting meat and sound that good in the process. punk is all about energy, and he can be very precise and do fills only when the song calls for them. Best skills for a punk drummer.
Ned from Spain here and a lifelong drummer. It's great to have a channel giving the least respected member of the band some love and respect. Tre' has inspired a lot of young drummers to do more than just timekeep and open up the possibilities. You can hear his influences too. One of the bands that were the forerunners of this band and others like them were the Descendents. You really should do one about their drummer, the incredible Bill Stevenson. Bill also took Black Flag to new heights and continues to astound people today. Thanks .
Tré and Travis really defined a generation of alternative rock drumming. I had a soft spot for Carter Beauford during that time as well. All phenomenal musicians.
As a self-taught drummer who started playing as a young teenager in 1995, Tre Cool was the closest thing I could liken to a mentor. His energy, taste and sensibilities shaped my early years with the instrument, and he'll always be one of the most important drummers of the era in my eyes. Cheers, buddy.
I'm 43 and started learning playing the drums a couple of months ago because I listened to Green Day on my way to work and thought how much fun it would be to know how to play that. So thanks Tre! Drumming makes me so happy, even tho I am nowhere near that level yet. Which is totally okay! I will get there! 💪
Honestly didn't understand how much getting my first Green Day CD influenced me until I had to write an ethnomusicology "warm-up" paper digging into how music affected us growing up. Even after that, it took another few years to pinpoint that Tre's drumming was at the heart of my fascination. I attribute my love of drumming to Tre
Radio stations that played Brain Stew WITHOUT Jaded should have had their broadcasting licenses immediately revoked. Brain Stew builds the tension perfectly for Jaded's rippin' release. I mean, nobody in their right mind would skip The Quass and go straight into Dying Degree from NOFX's "Punk in Drublic"! That's not a very good one-to-one comparison, but you get the point. (I fully acknowledge that this is an absurd and ridiculous gripe, but it's been driving me nuts for decades, hahaha. 🤦♂️)
Green Day actually pulled the same one on me yesterday... it was an awesome live show but sadly they skipped Jaded. Went from Brain Stew straight into American Idiot. I remember only one radio station local to me would play Jaded on air when I was a kid.
@aviatr9542 WHAT?! Even the band themselves are pulling this foolishness?! Un-uh, no way, this will not stand! Their management will be receiving a very strongly worded email from me this afternoon. I'm just kidding, obviously. (sort of) But it sucks to hear that it's dropped from the live set as well.
@@MikeP2055 Yup, it was a long setlist they played, especially with a new album, so I understand they got to trim the fat in some places... but yeah Jaded's a long-time favorite of mine. Ah well, haha.
One of the most influential drummers of the modern era, period. I may not play like this man, but his playing with Green Day has created some of the most iconic punk / pop punk songs of our generation.
Hobbyist guitar player here who grew up listening to dookie. I sincerely appreciate the story telling and light shining you guys do on these musicians. From my simple minded perspective, Tre would mostly disappear into the track, sans those iconic fills. Now I know he did this on purpose. These videos make me appreciate him SO MUCH. Now I'm going to dig up my old albums and give them another spin. I'm sure I'll hear things I didn't before!
I'm a journalist and youtuber, Ive been following Drumeo since I do not remember, and I'm much impressed the level of content quality you ve reched! This is not only the best drum channel, or just the best music channel, Drumeo is among the best channels of everything.
Playing in a cover band in the early 2000s. Green Day songs were always a staple and a blast to play. Loved how much he integrated the toms even during verses.
drove (rode in the back seat) 5h with my family when i was 10 to see green day. i stood on my tip toes to watch tre as much as i could when he wasnt on the screen, and my dad would pick me up when the pyrotechnics went off. when we got home i found drumsticks and learned what i thought holiday would be on boxes, and got my first kit for christmas that year. im 29 now and i still play green day. some of the same songs i learned on boxes 19 years ago. Tre cool is the reason i ever picked up sticks and for that alone, he'll always be my favourite drummer
Tré is the reason why I am a drummer today! I learned to play the drums by listening to American Idiot. I owe a lot of what I know as a musician to him and Green Day!
12-year-old me spending countless hours watching Tre' in the Basket Case video, amazed at how fast, precise, and powerful he played those fills. Blurry sticks. The first drummer I saw that inspired me enough to think I could do it and get behind the kit. Love that man and that band.
I love that Drumeo has started to get me to watch their videos even though I've never been a drummer. Just great vids. Green Day has been my favorite band since 2002, and Tre's drumming is one of those things I took for granted for so long. I've always been a guitar player and focus more on listening to guitars, bass, and vocals/lyrics. I rarely pay attention to drums unless it's a particular standout thing. Over the years, I just came to realize how solid of a drummer Tre is. Great video! So happy to see one from yall talking about my favorite band and their hall of famer drummer!
I just saw Green Day in Toronto a few weeks ago and it was a killer show, I’ve always loved Tré’s playing and he’s got such a great sense of humour as well
When I started playing music I was in to pop punk bands that had the straight forward punk beat. When I heard Tre' I finally heard the dynamics and song writing that a drummer can bring to the song. Drummers control the song and are always in control as to where the song goes. Tre' is an artist and an amazing songwriter with an understated understanding of structure.
Tre is one of the perfect examples of serving the song while still sounding powerful. And those toms 🤌🤌 such a perfect drum kit sound. Really well made video too!
When I first heard American Idiot at 7 years old it inspired me to pick up a guitar. and Green Day became my life from like 10-15 years old lol. Still one of my favorite bands of all time, seen them live a few times. Tré is a legend.
My first punk rock band I started with some friends I met in the church youth group! Tré influenced me to do this. I replicated some things like throwing myself from the drums (even at youth events in the church), I'm 43 years old and whenever I can, I'm performing like him. Tré is my biggest reference. Thank you so much for this, Drumeo! Tre Deserves it a lot!
Thank you Drumeo! I am not musician, but thanks to your channel, I have totally different point of view to the music, to drummers, their play and I really enjoy it! I appreciate your work and ideas! Keep going! Regards from Poland!
From Manila Influenced by Green Day since 1994 and we formed a band. We were just 13 yrs young then. Thank u Billiejoe, Mike & Tre’. All y’all are in my heart forever. Thank u DRUMEO for this documentary love it man!
I went to see my first ever Green Day show in 2010. Tre Cool didn't even stop drumming the entire show for two and a half hour. He even played during the transition between each song. Best show in my life, period.
i always get impressed of how much content you guys manage to get out of each guest. I mean... knowing the documentary was on the way and asking question to various drummers that come to shoot their own content/videos. Shout out to the whole planning and production team!
One part the always gets me is the ride pattern alongside the rhythm of the solo played in „The Grouch“ starting at 1:22 into the song. Absolute genius!
I *was* watching, still misheard "lit a kid on fire", was horrified and watched extra intently for the following clip and was very relieved that it was in fact his kit 😂
I was there for that! I can't remember what exactly they were upset about, but it didn't take long for security to run out there and tackle him to put the fire out because another band had to be set up and playing on that stage in 30 minutes
@@antoniogutierrez7491Probs just trying to maintain punk cred. Doubtful he carried lighter fuel with him *just in case* he happened to get mad about something
The always played exactly what the song needed to shine but still somehow had a unique style that you knew it was him immediately. Not two things you'd usually put together with a drummer. Absolute genius.
When I was 14 on the 21st Century Breakdown tour, I had the opportunity to be a roadie for a day for Tré Cool! I basically assisted and observed his drum tech, watched how he changed drum heads and got them in tune, how he would go through like three snare drums every show, I got to put the cymbals on the stands. I remember he didn’t use felt pads or wing nuts on his ride cymbal, so for the longest time, I didn’t either. All the techs had a band together and they played together for a good while, and then before Green Day did their formal soundcheck, their drum tech let me play on the kit for a little bit, but said make it quick. Don’t believe me? I have an old video on my channel of me that day! I was pretty terrible at drums back then so don’t expect anything great, and it’s very old, but it’s there! I remember he had a throne thumper, and I didn’t know what that was, so I just assumed the sound was so loud that I could feel the kick drum in the throne because I had never played at an arena before (and haven’t since 😅) Their tech told me that on the previous tour, Tré had two gigantic monitors behind him blasting the music, but that was the tour he switched to using in ear monitors.
You know your getting old when Drumeo is talking about Green Day and Tre Cool, like others have talked about the beetles and other great rock legends. This was my teenage years listening to Green Day. Now in my 40's and still loving it.
Green Day is one of the first bands I ever really listened to as a kid. I remember hearing the song someone was playing and saying - I need to know who this is…Dookie is the first cassette I’d ever owned.
I’m 33 and have been playing in bands as a drummer since i was 13. One of their first songs in my first band was playing Welcome to Paradise. Definitely inspired me! And I definitely wouldn’t want to hear myself back then trying to do what he did on songs lol
@@kinatan968 even the music video too. That one part where Tré running around his drums then came back on his throne before playing it was hilarious. Tré's "Geez" expression during Homecoming makes him feel excited but playing Drums while singing is kinda easy but not looking around was really hard to memorize the coordinates as well.
This video unlocks so many core memories as a kid absorbing his drum parts. Even though I'm into very different music these days, Tré is definitely one of the big reasons I am a drummer. He taught me you could apply lessons from Ringo to totally different music. The truth is still the same regardless of whether you're playing pop, punk rock, indie, R&B, hell even jazz fusion. That intention and clarity to Tré's playing is something I try and carry with me in every gig. Make every note count.
This was such a great video. I am just scratching the surface of music, and this was very well put together. Tre Cool totally deserves the title of worlds most dangerous drummer! 🎉
I've always loved tre's drumming and could never figure out how to replicate it while messing around on my drumset, I spent so many hours over covid trying to and it only made me appreciate him more
Great to see Tré Cool being covered. I was 13 in 1994 when Dookie came out. My dad is a lifelong drummer and got me playing early, but it was the drumming on "Welcome to Paradise" that really hooked me. For a kid growing up in rural Virginia back then, Green Day was my first exposure to punk and really the gateway to a lifelong love of punk music, its subculture, values/ethos, etc.
The reason why I drum. My favorite drummer of all time. My "style" has so many tré grooves because I played to cds, and played soooo much green day. Thank you Tré for everything and thank you drumeo for a wonderful video.
I'm not a drummer, but I'm struck by how *fun* Tre's parts seem they'd be to play. Plenty of variety to pick from that bring great grooves and just the right amount of challenge that when you pull them off, it's incredibly satisfying.
"Bouncy" is such a good word for what Tre adds to the mix. I've been a Green Day fan for as long as I can remember, and the drums have always really stood out to me. I especially feel the "bounciness" in Welcome to Paradise and When I Come Around.
There’s also one thing I’ve noticed about his style: most drummers play an eighth hat groove with accents on the quarters, but Tré always seems to play them straight. Almost like the accents are on all 8 instead of just the quarters!

Whats the title of the last song
I am a fan of him. But when I heard the drummer from State Champs.. Trey was left behind..
Unreal drummer! He taught me how to play and "Warning" was the first full song I learned to play on a kit.
That explains how much of an amazing drummer you are Jack!
Unreal RUclipsr!

Holy shit, its Sean! I loved your vids when i was younger.

Exactly this. Leave your ego aside and play what the song needs.

I'm not even a drummer but I saw Green Day live for the first time this year playing all of both Dookie and American Idiot and I can attest to the fact that the energy in his drumming is phenomenal ! Made all of the songs feel special.
He also seems to be able to generate infinite drum sticks
I saw them a couple days ago, they rock so much. Smashing Pumpkins was great too
American Idiot is like the lowest point of Green Day's career, it's like they didn't know what to do at that point.

Watching this reminded me of just how important Tré and Green Day were in my formative drum years.
Great video as always, Drumeo!
His drums always sound good. The way he mics them & every thing. I give him that.
Tré is the reason why I am a drummer today! I learned to play the drums by listening to American Idiot. I owe a lot of what I know as a musician to him and Green Day!
Tre has influenced so many other drummer. Surely a true sign of his stature as a modern punk, pop, rock drumming icon
12-year-old me spending countless hours watching Tre' in the Basket Case video, amazed at how fast, precise, and powerful he played those fills. Blurry sticks. The first drummer I saw that inspired me enough to think I could do it and get behind the kit. Love that man and that band.
I love that Drumeo has started to get me to watch their videos even though I've never been a drummer. Just great vids. Green Day has been my favorite band since 2002, and Tre's drumming is one of those things I took for granted for so long. I've always been a guitar player and focus more on listening to guitars, bass, and vocals/lyrics. I rarely pay attention to drums unless it's a particular standout thing. Over the years, I just came to realize how solid of a drummer Tre is.
Great video! So happy to see one from yall talking about my favorite band and their hall of famer drummer!
I just saw Green Day in Toronto a few weeks ago and it was a killer show, I’ve always loved Tré’s playing and he’s got such a great sense of humour as well
@@andrewpappas9311 did they do the full albums on 2 decades?
Genuinely one of my favorite musicians
When I started playing music I was in to pop punk bands that had the straight forward punk beat. When I heard Tre' I finally heard the dynamics and song writing that a drummer can bring to the song. Drummers control the song and are always in control as to where the song goes. Tre' is an artist and an amazing songwriter with an understated understanding of structure.
Tre is one of the perfect examples of serving the song while still sounding powerful. And those toms 🤌🤌 such a perfect drum kit sound. Really well made video too!
When I first heard American Idiot at 7 years old it inspired me to pick up a guitar. and Green Day became my life from like 10-15 years old lol. Still one of my favorite bands of all time, seen them live a few times. Tré is a legend.
My first punk rock band I started with some friends I met in the church youth group! Tré influenced me to do this. I replicated some things like throwing myself from the drums (even at youth events in the church), I'm 43 years old and whenever I can, I'm performing like him.
Tré is my biggest reference. Thank you so much for this, Drumeo! Tre Deserves it a lot!
Thank you Drumeo! I am not musician, but thanks to your channel, I have totally different point of view to the music, to drummers, their play and I really enjoy it! I appreciate your work and ideas! Keep going! Regards from Poland!
From Manila
Influenced by Green Day since 1994 and we formed a band.
We were just 13 yrs young then.
Thank u Billiejoe, Mike & Tre’.
All y’all are in my heart forever.
Thank u DRUMEO for this documentary love it man!
Tre's skills are top level but don't forget the energy this guy brings everywhere. Absolute legend.
Grew up learning Tre Cool's stuff on the kit. Fantastic drummer, he's been a huge influence on my playing!
I went to see my first ever Green Day show in 2010. Tre Cool didn't even stop drumming the entire show for two and a half hour. He even played during the transition between each song. Best show in my life, period.
I've been saying Tre is a super under appreciated drummer for the last 20+ years! It's awesome to see him finally getting proper recognition!
as a lifelong green day fan its great to see tre get the love he deserves!
i always get impressed of how much content you guys manage to get out of each guest. I mean... knowing the documentary was on the way and asking question to various drummers that come to shoot their own content/videos. Shout out to the whole planning and production team!
finally, Tre gets his due. I always thought he had such a unique energy and way of hitting. His early 90's hi hat work is totally unique.
One part the always gets me is the ride pattern alongside the rhythm of the solo played in „The Grouch“ starting at 1:22 into the song. Absolute genius!
The danger of lifting my head from the video for a second - at 27:19 I though you said Tre lit his KID on fire and I nearly lost it
I *was* watching, still misheard "lit a kid on fire", was horrified and watched extra intently for the following clip and was very relieved that it was in fact his kit 😂
classic Tre
I was there for that! I can't remember what exactly they were upset about, but it didn't take long for security to run out there and tackle him to put the fire out because another band had to be set up and playing on that stage in 30 minutes
@@antoniogutierrez7491Probs just trying to maintain punk cred. Doubtful he carried lighter fuel with him *just in case* he happened to get mad about something
The always played exactly what the song needed to shine but still somehow had a unique style that you knew it was him immediately. Not two things you'd usually put together with a drummer. Absolute genius.
Some people _in the audience_ might have already noticed that Tré Cool looks very much alike "tres cool" which is "very nice/cool" in french.
I watched these guys last month and omg, I don't understand how they still have this much energy to perform at 110%, it's an unreal experience
When I was 14 on the 21st Century Breakdown tour, I had the opportunity to be a roadie for a day for Tré Cool! I basically assisted and observed his drum tech, watched how he changed drum heads and got them in tune, how he would go through like three snare drums every show, I got to put the cymbals on the stands. I remember he didn’t use felt pads or wing nuts on his ride cymbal, so for the longest time, I didn’t either. All the techs had a band together and they played together for a good while, and then before Green Day did their formal soundcheck, their drum tech let me play on the kit for a little bit, but said make it quick. Don’t believe me? I have an old video on my channel of me that day! I was pretty terrible at drums back then so don’t expect anything great, and it’s very old, but it’s there! I remember he had a throne thumper, and I didn’t know what that was, so I just assumed the sound was so loud that I could feel the kick drum in the throne because I had never played at an arena before (and haven’t since 😅) Their tech told me that on the previous tour, Tré had two gigantic monitors behind him blasting the music, but that was the tour he switched to using in ear monitors.
I just saw them live again and it's so unreal how amazing they still are. Also can we get a video about Jøsh Dun?
super glad one for the razorbacks got a shout out! one of my favorite green day songs ever!
You know your getting old when Drumeo is talking about Green Day and Tre Cool, like others have talked about the beetles and other great rock legends. This was my teenage years listening to Green Day. Now in my 40's and still loving it.
Who else started drumming because of Tré?
Me. My first song was Boulevard of broken dreams
I started guitar because of green day. Then a year and a half later was jamming with tre and stage diving to his drum roll. It was wild
@@heikoschmelz1283 same here until 21 Guns as well.
I learned Guitar, Bass, and Drums because of Green Day. So yes lol
@@grenas1995 bro, have you find the exact green day tone yet in your amp (guitar amps and bass amp)?
Green Day is one of the first bands I ever really listened to as a kid. I remember hearing the song someone was playing and saying - I need to know who this is…Dookie is the first cassette I’d ever owned.
I’m 33 and have been playing in bands as a drummer since i was 13. One of their first songs in my first band was playing Welcome to Paradise. Definitely inspired me! And I definitely wouldn’t want to hear myself back then trying to do what he did on songs lol
Finallyyyyy! Tré is one of my fav drummers and he's so underrated. His works on dookie is one gorgeous masterpiece ☺️
his works in American I'd*ot is one of the best! hands down!
@@Rusli1659LPSoldier Yes! His playing is much more refined in American Idiots. Always love his explosive drumming.
@@kinatan968 even the music video too. That one part where Tré running around his drums then came back on his throne before playing it was hilarious.
Tré's "Geez" expression during Homecoming makes him feel excited but playing Drums while singing is kinda easy but not looking around was really hard to memorize the coordinates as well.
Nothing but respect for this mad man 🤘
Tré is absolutely a legend and such a big influence on so many musicians.
Criminally underrated.
You took us wayyy back thank you!!
This video unlocks so many core memories as a kid absorbing his drum parts. Even though I'm into very different music these days, Tré is definitely one of the big reasons I am a drummer. He taught me you could apply lessons from Ringo to totally different music. The truth is still the same regardless of whether you're playing pop, punk rock, indie, R&B, hell even jazz fusion. That intention and clarity to Tré's playing is something I try and carry with me in every gig. Make every note count.
This was such a great video. I am just scratching the surface of music, and this was very well put together. Tre Cool totally deserves the title of worlds most dangerous drummer! 🎉
I love that he got 86ed from my local bar (in Green Day’s hometown) because he jumped on the bar and wanted to pour drinks on people. 😂🤦🏽♂️
There was a quote in an interview where he said "Hi I'm Tre Cool and I'm an alcholic"
I've always loved tre's drumming and could never figure out how to replicate it while messing around on my drumset, I spent so many hours over covid trying to and it only made me appreciate him more
Bro! Thank you for featuring Dirty Rotten Bastards in this video. One of Green Day's best "post-Idiot" tracks in my opinion.
Great to see Tré Cool being covered. I was 13 in 1994 when Dookie came out. My dad is a lifelong drummer and got me playing early, but it was the drumming on "Welcome to Paradise" that really hooked me. For a kid growing up in rural Virginia back then, Green Day was my first exposure to punk and really the gateway to a lifelong love of punk music, its subculture, values/ethos, etc.
Played many Green Day songs with my friends. Still playing them today at 41 years young 😂
The reason why I drum. My favorite drummer of all time. My "style" has so many tré grooves because I played to cds, and played soooo much green day. Thank you Tré for everything and thank you drumeo for a wonderful video.
Tres drumming started my career in air drumming from an early age
American Idiot was my favorite album to play all the way through when I got my first drum set. Thanks for making a video about Tre!
I'm not a drummer, but I'm struck by how *fun* Tre's parts seem they'd be to play. Plenty of variety to pick from that bring great grooves and just the right amount of challenge that when you pull them off, it's incredibly satisfying.
"Bouncy" is such a good word for what Tre adds to the mix. I've been a Green Day fan for as long as I can remember, and the drums have always really stood out to me. I especially feel the "bounciness" in Welcome to Paradise and When I Come Around.
He was my first influence in music/drums
20 years of American Idiot on September 21st! I’ll never forget hearing and seeing it for the first time on MTV.
dookie was the first album I bought on tape. Green Day is 100% the reason I got into the music I did.
I have so much respect for Tre and this band. ❤
0:11 - Dirnt*
Thanks drumeo. I never realized how great of a drummer Tre’ is. Great video
Nice! Tré deverve more apreciation
Tre is one of my favourites drummers. I learn from him energy, speed and incredible beats. He inspired me to play the drums more and more😌
Tre Cool is the secret ingredient that turned Green Day from just another pop punk band to one of the biggest bands of all time
I was inspired by tre to play drums. He’s one of the best to do it and still one I look up to
There’s also one thing I’ve noticed about his style: most drummers play an eighth hat groove with accents on the quarters, but Tré always seems to play them straight. Almost like the accents are on all 8 instead of just the quarters!
I’ve never understood how he does that so consistently-and still to this day. That’s gotta do a number on his wrist. Those fast singles are brutal!
