Tré Cool's Cymbals
In this page you can see under "Artist using this product" Tre Cool is listed as one of the artist's.
This quote is from the Zildjian Artists website for Tre Cool. "Tré's solid and always tasteful drumming has earned him respect as one of rock's best drummers. He uses a variety of Zildjian cymbals, including K Dark Thin Crashes and Zildjian Tré Cool Artist Series Drumsticks."
Shown on Green Day authority, Tre uses a Zildjian A 22 ping ride.
Tré Cool uses the Zildjian 19" K Dark Thin Crash as part of his drum setup, placing it alongside a high A Medium Thin Crash for a contrasting low pitch. This setup is documented on Greendayauthority's "Green Day's Equipment" page.
In this video, Tré Cool discusses the many cymbals he uses, including his trash smash. The 19" K Custom is the only trash smash Zildjian offers (as far as I'm aware), so this must be the one he is referencing. According to Tré, "it runs off batteries AND gas."
He uses it for the bell mostly and lots of stick definition.
Tré Cool has used the Zildjian 14'' K Hi Hats throughout the 1990s, as evidenced by a user-uploaded photo.
