Tre grew up in Willits,
California, with his father and two siblings. His dad
built many of the houses in that area, including that of
Lawrance Livermore, their nearest neighbor and the
founder of Lookout! Records. At age twelve, he joined
Livermore's band, the Lookouts. Shortly after Al
Sobrante left Green Day, Tre hopped aboard. Tre and his
wife, Claudia, are expecting their first child.
Tre has his own signature Slingerland drumkit, the
"Spitfire". It consists of a 18x22 Slingerland Bass
drum, a 5 1/2x14 Slingerland Radio King Snare, a 6
1/2x14 Chrome snare, an 11x14 Slingerland mounted tom,
and a 16x16 Slingerland floor tom. Though the Spitfire
comes with Slingerland cymbals, Tre still uses a 19"
Zildjian K Dark Thin Crash on the left, a 20" Zildjian A
Medium Ride on the right, a 22" Zildjian K Heavy Ride on
the bottom right, a 14" Zildjian K Medium Top, 14" K
Medium Heavy Bottom Hi-Hats, and Zildjian Super 5B
drumsticks. He also uses Remo Power Stroke 3 on his
snare and bass drums, Remo Coated emperors on the tops
of his toms, clear ambassadors on the bottoms, and Remo
Falam Slam Pad on the bass drum.
