Bet you were thinking of the same thing too though. :lol:

I'm thinking either Take Back or Playpus. Those two are pretty fast songs.

oh and when you make ur friend play these harder songs, try to get the songs with just the guitar, bass and vocals.

it's harder when having to listen to the other instruments (its distracting imo) and still keep track of what you're doing.

St. Jimmy

they are! East Jesus Nowhere is probably the most fun to play for me

that or Know Your Enemy

None of them are particularly hard. Tre does use a lot of short fast fills in many songs, but they are easy to learn and always center around a similar rhythm or concept. The main thing is being able to play those fast eighth notes that Tre pounds out on the hi hat. I know I can play all the way through on most of them, but a lot of people I see do it, cant play the eighth notes all the way through and resort to quarter notes.

Yeah overall Tre's drums are pretty basic for punk rock, but actually decently complex for popular music or rock music. He doesn't have anything on Erik (Smelly)from NOFX though.

Tre's drumming sounds easy, but it really isn't all that easy. loads of little details.

that's why no one sounds like him.

the use of ghost notes, hi-hat foot movements.. certain techniques he has developed over the years.

i bet no one noticed ghostnotes on Burnout. my friend found them when he went looking for it.

pretty interesting stuff.

tell him to try burnout, armatage shanks, welcome to paradise, peacemaker (this is green day's fastest song with 8th notes so far), platypus (fastest song with quarter notes)... and even restless heart syndrome (for the ghost notes)

he will probably bullshit his way on the songs. like, play it like he wants to, improvise everything. that is really easy with green day. try playing it like tre does, and you are in for a long ride.

I totally agree with that, i wish Tre was my drum teacher!!

BTW, I love your youtube videos, you helped me learn the JoS solo, I love you for that :)

ok my friend thinks tre can't drum and im so pissed at him. ok does anyone know a song that shows tre's awesome drumming talent please :)

Posted

I think Platypus (I Hate You) would be the hardest since it's so fast, but I'm not sure cuz I don't play the drums...

burnout.

the solo part specially.

and welcome to paradise breakdown.

and you should tell him that tre plays what is needed.

that's what green day music asks for, that's what tre delivers as a drummer. solid, simple stuff most of the time.

that's why tre is a really good drummer.

he doesn't overdo the songs like loads of other drummers out there.

St. Jimmy and Platypus (I Hate You) sound kinda hard
