@@AndrewRooneyDrumsThis all happened because Jimmy is a self-taught drummer, and you realize it when he holds the drumsticks and the way he hits them is quite different from the usual drummers. He played the drums since he was a toddler and had his own drummer at the age of 12 , and when he was a teenager he joined a percussion group. from high school to university, where he and his group played music from used bottles, used buckets, used drums, etc., and that's where the unique drum beats he created when recording or while performing.

There isn't too much quality recordings of playthroughs that I've seen over the years with the rev, but in terms of avenged sevenfold, us deathbats go by albums rather than individual songs. So in my humble opinion, I would have to say their self titled or city of evil are their best works. Thanks for getting to my inspiration for music!

My fav Jimmy fact is that his parents bought him a little kid drum kit for Christmas when he was 5 because he was constantly drumming on all the furniture and his little sister’s head.

The part where he played 2 Rides where you said "Singles or paraddidles". single pattern and both the ride and double bass are played at the same time :D If you want a follow up video of The REV you can watch his live video of "Bat Country" drum cam. He goes wilder on that one.

If I remember correctly, he called that lick the “double octopus” where he plays double bass and cymbals in sync. I also believe that was the one and only take he did in studio. He was a great drummer and the reason I started drumming when I was young. Would be awesome to see some more avenged sevenfold even with Portnoy or Brooks Wackermen. There’s no replacement for the Rev but they have added to the legacy!

Also so incredible to see all the comments of people he has also inspired. Not enough people know of him and what he has done for metal drummers everywhere.

This is not the take from the album. He missed the fill at the end of the first verse, but he kept playing because that's how he rolled. Jimmy was a rare one-take master. He never punched in a recording. If he messed up, he would do the whole song again. Interestingly, their first album was recorded in sequence in a single take. EVERY SONG SEQUENTIALLY BACK TO BACK. Jimmy wanted it to feel like a live show where there are no redos.

He has quite the body of work for such a short life. There’s a song called “Bat Country” that you MUST check out, and hopefully review. The drumming BLEW MY MIND when I first heard it. Love the channel, new subscriber from Virginia USA

Jimmy has a drum cam on the song beast and the harlot and you should really watch that it's wild

One of the best drummers of our time, this was also a one take recording for him. Jimmy was truly awesome, the double ride with the bass drums is so unique.

I could be wrong, but I dont think this is the actual take used on the album recording. He pauses at 3:42 and kinda smirks after. There are a few other beats that are a bit different (not much though) It may have been the demo to get the structure of the song down? Either way, the Rev was an absolute monster

Can we all just appreciate that a metal drummer used a latin beat in the chorus? so random but it works so well

If no one’s said yet and ya didn’t know, Rev’s idol was Mike Portnoy and those quick double ride cymbal parts he took inspiration from Mike on that for this song. Also, these boys were given free range on this album and were all in their like mid 20’s and what we got was a masterpiece of an album. You should really check out the song A Little Piece of Heaven. The brain child of the Rev himself and he was inebriated a lot of the time while recording it 😅

Fun fact for you he wrote composed and put together the instruments for pretty much all of their music including the nightmare album was released after he died. That's where the line of final song a last request in the song So far away comes from. Also their straps say foREVer on them.
