Those warm punchy tones, matched with a 90s take on traditional punk grooves, not only set Green Day apart from their contemporaries but also propelled to them to gain unprecedented commercial success. Song parts are often distinguished by his consistent instrumentation of cymbals; Hi-hats for verses and ride cymbal or bell for choruses.
In fact, by resisting the temptation to overplay, his bass drum and snare become extremely prominent, tight, and powerful. He creates a pocket that is unmistakably Tre Cool, saving flashes of color for just the right moments on the track. There is a subtle build taking place throughout this track that may go unnoticed by some listeners, and it elevates this beyond a standard 2-minute pop-punk piece.
The introduction of the turn-around fills in the second chorus hint to the listener that the track is evolving, and it leads into a bridge where Cool pounds on the bass drum while frantically adding crashes until the tension is finally released through a series of signature fills. This whole part only provides the satisfaction it does, due to the discipline shown by Tre Cool in the rest of the track. In arguably the best studio performance of his career, Cool peppers the track with rapid yet water-tight drum fills which despite their frequency, never come off as over-playing.
His single strokes, triplet patterns, and flams are so well orchestrated and functional, that it has become impossible to imagine them not being there.
Exceptional playing is littered all over this track, and around the second mark, consecutive and varied signature drum fills serve not only as an opportunity for Cool to flash his drummer chops, but also as a bridge between otherwise unrelated parts.
He uses them more than most drummers to add texture, aggression, brightness and warmth, highlight chord changes, and to induce momentum shifts. This is so integral to his playing style, that the Green Day back catalog is quite frankly bursting with examples. Dookie Insomniac Nimrod Warning. Revolution Radio Father of All Motherfuckers.
