Tre Cool Signature Spitfire

Drum Kit

Slingerland

If you were renowned skin basher Tre Cool and you were gonna play the ultimate hip drum kit, what would it be? The Slingerland Tre Cool Signature Spitfire Drum Kit of course ($949)! This bad boy was built for bashin’ with its all-maple shells and big sound. The set includes a 16-inch by 22-inch bass drum with the Tre Cool logo etched on the drum head, an 11-inch by 14-inch tom and a 16-inch by 16-inch floor tom, and a chrome-plated metal snare. The toms and bass drum are finished in Tre Cool’s own Indica Green wrap finish. The kit comes with a double-braced hardware pack with snare stand, hi-hat stand, cymbal stand, boom cymbal stand and a heavy-duty chain drive bass drum pedal. All drums are equipped with super-strong 2.3 millimeter Slingerland Stick-Saver Rim Shot hoops as well as Tre Cool signature badges. By the way, happy birthday to Slingerland, celebrating its 70th birthday this year.
