[img=022812_tre-gretsch.jpg]Back in January we posted about Mike and Trè attending the NAMM show in Anaheim. At the show, we noticed that Trè spent quite a bit of time with Gretsch in their drum area. We speculated the he switched from Leedy to Gretsch. In fact, this is true.

On Gretsch Drums' official site, they posted a news story welcoming Trè to the Gretsch family.

We've also been seeing Billie use Gretsch guitars quite frequently as of late. Most notably in the new studio videos. I wouldn't doubt if a majority of the new album's sound could be credited to Gretsch instruments...

Thanks to sergio for sending this news.
