Green Day Drums

[fletch88]

Hey guys, i was wondering if you could guide me in the direction of what type of drums the band green day use in their fast songs (which are most of them), as i need that kind of thing for some songs i will be doing lol

i mean the kind of drums used in minority, basket case, welcome to paradise, etc

im presuming they are punk drums, but where to get the loops from?

thanks

Try looking at the old videos to see what drums he was playing. I just searched google for you and didn't come up with any good information.........I did only spend about 2 minutes searching, though.

I know now he's playing Ludwig drums. I'm pretty sure it's an all maple kit, and from what I remember seeing his toms are pretty big in size (1 rack, 2 floor).....

hope that helps.

Hmmm,
I wonder when he switched to Ludwig?
That Green set that he played for the last 10 or so years was a Slingerland. When Slingerland came back out, he was one of the only guys with an Endorsement deal with them. Here's a picture of his signature series line.

I'm pretty sure he switched to Ludwig starting around the time the "American Idiot" was recorded. I think I saw an interview on T.V. (AOL music on demand maybe?), where he stated that.
