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.

I’ve played on literally every brand of US drums out there, and I’ve finally found my home. I’ve been looking for drums like these my whole life. True American hot rod custom kits. From the look and sound to the service and attention, it’s good to now be a part of the SJC family." - Tre Cool

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."

Appears at the very beginning counting in the song. It's assumedly Tre's hand controlling it, and the drums would find the metronome most useful in a full band setting anyways.
