LiquidSoul546 said:Alright, this is a drummers thread, and i don't want to argue but discuss this guys talent factor. I mean, how is he such a great drummer? I am wondering this because i can see what he plays is all so simple, and if he is sponsered why not you, or any other drummer that can belt out 1 and 3 on bass drum, 2 and 4 snare, with eighth note highats. He's sponsered cause he is in a popular band. And he's a "great" because he's in a popular band. if someone could prove me wrong i'd like to hear.
Thanks
P.S, don't get mad at me if you like him, i totaly respect if you like the band, and love what he does.
Peace

Sure, you would think that, but have you ever heard him play anything difficult. I listen to Vinnie Colaiuta and Im like man that was awesome and hes doing polyrhythms and paradiddles over triplets and crazy stuff all over the place (on his side project stuff) but Ive never heard Tre Cool do anything like that. Sure his playing fits the music, but lets hear him do something else. I never have, but maybe I just havent heard him play on anything but Green Day. And lets be realistic, does anyone really think he deserved all those Drummies from DRUM!? I didnt.gd_trecool1972 said:he's been drumming since he was 3 yrs.old! (but he started professional at 12)
no offense but don't you think if someone was drumming for so long that they would be able to play more diffuclt things?
Huh? How do you know?ewanlaing said:i watched bullet in the bible, and at one point tre and mike have a nice little jazz thing goin on. tre is very tasteful at this section, but it is by no means just 1 and 3 on bass with 2 and 4 on snare. tre can play, you better beleive it. it doesn't matter if you can play what he can play, cos he can do it without thinking.

Stu_Strib said:Tre has a lot of Fan Worship, so he gets way too much credit. His playing is solid and fits the music, but he won't be blowing away the Modern Drummer Festivals anytime soon.
gd_trecool1972 said:He obviously had to work to get fan worship..it's not like he got it over night, hes been playin in green day for many years and people obviously like him because he's music fits in the genre, and still sound amazing, i mean if you compare other bands to green day, you'll see that there not trying to overshadowed each other like some other punk/rock bands do (no names here), i think Tré deserves the credit he gets cause he did work for it!
