Tré Cool

In the interview with Modern Drummer magazine in November 1997, Tre mentioned that his signature drum kit is being made, "They're making a Tre Cool signature kit for me, which I'm totally psyched about. It's gonna be called Spitfire, and Slingerland is gonna sell them amazingly cheap. They're trying to compete with Pearl for the young rock drummer market. It's a bottom-line drumset, but that's my main interest - a drumkit that kids can afford to buy. I'm sure the drums will sound great for what they are. But sure, I wouldn't probably recommend going into the studio with a set. But who knows? They might sound really good. The main thing is that they're inexpensive. I wouldn't have done it at all if a set didn't sell for under $1000. I'm not gonna tell kids to go out and play some overpriced stuff. I can't hang with that."

Tre used this drumset during 1998-2002 period.

"Pat Foley of Slingerland called me one day and told me he liked the band and he liked my playing. He said that they didn't have many endorsers - in fact, I might be the only one getting their drums for free. I might get in trouble for saying that, but they've been totally cool to me. They don't say shit when I break a drum and ask for a new one, a they really make the best drums I've ever played, the best drums in the world," comments Tre Cool on his sponsorship with Slingerland in an article from Modern Drummer. Tre used various Slingerland Studio King drumkits during the 1997 and 1998. You can read quote, as well as the full article here.

In a video by Guitar Center titled "Green Day At: Guitar Center," Tré Cool mentions using the Gretsch USA Custom Drumkit on their new album.

Tré Cool used the DW Collector Series Custom Drum Set during the recording and performances of Green Day's albums "Dookie," "Insomniac," "Nimrod," and "Warning." This is evidenced by a user-uploaded photo on Tripod.

Tré Cool is listed as an endorsed artist for SJC Custom Drums, indicating his use of their SJC Custom Drum Kit.

In the fall of 2016, Tré Cool of Green Day opted for a custom SJC Tré Cool Cookies & Cream drum kit to complement the release of their studio album "Revolution Radio." This kit features 9x13, 16x16, 16x18 toms, and an 18x22 bass drum, all crafted with mahogany shells and maple reinforcement rings. The kit's eye-catching design was showcased by SJC Drums on Twitter, highlighting its unique style and craftsmanship.
