I sit at home, playing on my set, doing pretty good. rythem's a little off, miss a couple of things here and their, mildly unmotivated/inspired to really play. kinda feeling like i'm horrid. then i realize i'm half the age this man lived to be. inspiration at its finest.
When I discovered city of evil one of the things that struck me was his tone on drums I was like what is this?? Am I wrong in thinking it’s that they’re tuned with lower tension?
avenged sevenfold just kicked aron out. and its been somwhere around 7 years since the rev said he will run in the forest to become the knife master and never return for 10 years. so maby with the album coming out in 2017 the rev will return thats what i belive

All of you drooling over how awesome the drumset sounds... is because this is a STUDIO mixed drum track. This is in no way live, this is a drum track that is mixed in a studio. This has probably been picked over for weeks to make it sound perfect with the timing being perfect and everything else. I love this band, but in no way is this a live play through. I know this because I have been playing in a band for a while and we have recorded in a studio.
Actually, his set was "reflection". Jimmy had same cymbals on both sides, only toms made the difference. The 3 bass drums were for one purpose - so dead bat was pointed in every direction :)
So... Jimmy was really talanted when it came to double pedal. That is NOT a very easy thing to master and the fact that he was so good at it was majestic. He was a talanted drummer overall, but his double pedal skills are beastly. Just because they're so rhythmic and actually fit in the song, not just all willy nilly.
He had triple bass indeed, all workable, he played in the normal ones ( middle and right ), but he only used the left bass drum to easly sing, because the microfone was at his left side.
That's so fucking true, the Drums on STST are SO awesome, it's amazing. In Songs like "Darkness Surrounding" or "Lips of Deceit" you can hear this very good in my opinion.
Actually, the FIRST song the band wrote without Jimmy was "Not Ready to Die" which was in Call of Duty: Black Ops, So Far Away was written before in the Nightmare Album.
He was an amazing drummer, but you can't say he's the best of all time even if you have heard every drummer in history, it's a matter of taste what is "good".
I agree with you.. I personally think Mike should have The Rev's famous status and The Rev should have Mike's.. Mike is not too well known to most but for everyone else "The Rev" is a household name. I agree mike is miles better but Jimmy was great too.
Carry on is not the first to be written without the Rev. Nightmare, welcome to the family, victim, tonight the world dies, danger line, natural born killers, buried alive were written without the rev. So far away was written by Syn for his grandfather who had passed. The rev helped write some of it. He also drummed in God hates us (if im correct). The Rev MAY have helped write not ready to die. He most likely did. If you listen closely, you can hear Jimmys style in the drumming. Jimmy sings in
Indeed. I tried to pick up the drums. And I made my attempts on some songs, like "The Art of Subconscious Illusion." Lets just say that it sounds a lot better from the original than what I had done. XD
I guess that would imply that, but it wasn't my intention to make it seem like you don't know the songs. I just named out the ones that I feel were good from the album (basically all of them). I agree with you on you knowing them, you claim to know all their songs, so I'm taking your word on it.
OMFG how the fuck did he do that and then be able to play other songs when they played live...... i have some major respect towards james... but this makes me want to praise the guy
@ProblemPeople If he had a chance to try more things i'd say he would have been doing VERY complex stuff and completely blowing us away with his fucking amazing talent. but he never got to really grow into that kind of music, but in all that he did get to do he had already blown me away. how he came up with some of his stuff, i haven't a notion. he was a crazy basterd up for anything and i worship him for that.
@HoboBassist the bass drums are. if you listen to the drum track in critical acclaim youll hear the natural sound of his kit. everything else though on this is natural

I heard a rumour that he was human, the things some people believe...
Penguin Pal he's not a human he was a god, a drumming god

inspiration at its finest.
tyler burtcher Don't worry of being bad when you got another try that it's going to be better
Rev is probably one of the best metal drummers , too bad he left too soon :(
Love his kick drum and snare sounds on this album
I know right
When I discovered city of evil one of the things that struck me was his tone on drums
I was like what is this??
Am I wrong in thinking it’s that they’re tuned with lower tension?
funny how if you just take off all the other instruments it just sounds like a long drum solo 😭 what a beast
I could do this in my sleep. After all, anything is possible in one's dreams.
the rev never die
avenged sevenfold just kicked aron out. and its been somwhere around 7 years since the rev said he will run in the forest to become the knife master and never return for 10 years. so maby with the album coming out in 2017 the rev will return
thats what i belive
@@underdog3486 Ur theory is toxic asf. Grow up
Grow up
If you read up about Jimmy mike portnoy was a huge inspiration for him
it's cool that Mike got to help avenged sevenfold through that though year and I think the rev would have been really proud of that
RIP
Jimmy (the REV) Sullivan
guys he'll be back!!! hes just becoming the knife master
avenged sevenfold just kicked aron out. and its been somwhere around 7 years since the rev said he will run in the forest to become the knife master and never return for 10 years. so maby with the album coming out in 2017 the rev will return
sadly...
He hasn't came
i love his solo drum
i don't know why people make fun of him and say he is bad he can play better then all the people who think they can
That Double bass... gives me the chills
Hands down best drummer ever to walk this earth
that my friend was mike from drum theater waaaay back then
HE WAS INSANE
All of you drooling over how awesome the drumset sounds... is because this is a STUDIO mixed drum track. This is in no way live, this is a drum track that is mixed in a studio.

This song was the reason that i started to play drums!
Jimmy "Machine gun - The Rev" Sullivan... Rock in Peace my friend :')
Jimmy In Afterlife Uses A 3 Bass Drum And Other With 2
The bass drum is juste awesome ;'D
Got three more years boys then he'll come back
No he's not coming back...
BUT WHEN HE COMES BACK ...
Farfox he becomes a knife master
Still waiting for the Knife Master
1 year left! ;D
This year?
Very good...He does in every album
Actually, his set was "reflection". Jimmy had same cymbals on both sides, only toms made the difference.
The 3 bass drums were for one purpose - so dead bat was pointed in every direction :)
You're possibly the biggest A7X fanboy in the world, well done.
Not the best technically, but provides me with the most entertainment and enjoyable beats. R.I.P Jimmy, keep on rocking brother
Just chilling outside early morning winter, coffee and l2 this
If only everyone on youtube could stay level headed like this.
So... Jimmy was really talanted when it came to double pedal. That is NOT a very easy thing to master and the fact that he was so good at it was majestic. He was a talanted drummer overall, but his double pedal skills are beastly. Just because they're so rhythmic and actually fit in the song, not just all willy nilly.
The Rev was and is the best drummer that will ever live. I don't care what all of you haters will say. HE IS BETTER THAN ALL OF YOU. Just honor him.
Epic drumming. One of the best drummers in the world ever!
3 people got angry at 3:07 when they realized that they would never be as good as The Rev.
My brother can play this song 100% just like the rev
One of the best drummers who ever lived.
He had triple bass indeed, all workable, he played in the normal ones ( middle and right ), but he only used the left bass drum to easly sing, because the microfone was at his left side.
HQ stands for High Quality btw
This is one of there best songs yet!! :D So catchy and everything! This has all elements to a great and fucking badass song!!
*Cough* their* *cough*
Sorry XD
Misty parrales Hehehe! :D
That's so fucking true, the Drums on STST are SO awesome, it's amazing. In Songs like "Darkness Surrounding" or "Lips of Deceit" you can hear this very good in my opinion.
Like if the rev is your idol or if he's your favorite drummer
Hes both
OFG, eargasm♥
Love The Rev♥
The first album :) Nice one :D Rev did an amazing job on STST
Thanks for being so respectful,
correction its the album "in the eyes of god" getting confused with the band eye hate god
the double bass is definitely second to none
actually, he is "in the woods becoming a knife master" :D
Actually, the FIRST song the band wrote without Jimmy was "Not Ready to Die" which was in Call of Duty: Black Ops, So Far Away was written before in the Nightmare Album.
hell ya, one of my favourite drum track
He was an amazing drummer, but you can't say he's the best of all time even if you have heard every drummer in history, it's a matter of taste what is "good".
Yes, you can infact say he's the best of all time. Thats the joy of a debate like that, it's purely subjective.
i wish i can drum like that
3:25 EPIC drumming!!!!!!!
R.I.P Jimmy 'The Rev' Owen Sullivan
I agree with you.. I personally think Mike should have The Rev's famous status and The Rev should have Mike's.. Mike is not too well known to most but for everyone else
"The Rev" is a household name. I agree mike is miles better but Jimmy was great too.
I was wrong. The rev did a demo of nightmare. When Matt would say fight, you could hear the rev backing him up.
Carry on is not the first to be written without the Rev. Nightmare, welcome to the family, victim, tonight the world dies, danger line, natural born killers, buried alive were written without the rev. So far away was written by Syn for his grandfather who had passed. The rev helped write some of it. He also drummed in God hates us (if im correct). The Rev MAY have helped write not ready to die. He most likely did. If you listen closely, you can hear Jimmys style in the drumming. Jimmy sings in
The Rev is just out becoming the Knife Master, he'll be back before you know it
The rev is the one that's still alive
@OftaPoftaRofta I fail to see what is so incredible about this.
Indeed. I tried to pick up the drums. And I made my attempts on some songs, like "The Art of Subconscious Illusion." Lets just say that it sounds a lot better from the original than what I had done. XD
its like the revs spirit is going to have to enter a body for anything to sound that great
i wish i can like to be THE REV
the rev has the cleanest double bass ive ever heard...
I guess that would imply that, but it wasn't my intention to make it seem like you don't know the songs. I just named out the ones that I feel were good from the album (basically all of them). I agree with you on you knowing them, you claim to know all their songs, so I'm taking your word on it.
The Rev didn't die, God just needed drum lessons
No, the first song they wrote without The Rev was "Not Ready to Die", with Arin.
Dat snare and kick tone
foREVer X
Thank you!
@TheKdonnelly94 Sounding the seventh trumpet was his best drumming, that album is fucking intense.
0:00 - 5:43 EPIC drumming!!!!
I cried my fucking eyes out when I heard about this god's passing.
Jimmy finished the song and told Matt it was titled "Death." I'm sure you can find the interview where Matt talks about it on TH-cam.
Most Awsome Snare Ever.
I try to. There has to be someone in this world to do it. Hey, you keep on rocking on man. \m/
Listening to this in honor of Jimmy since he died three years ago today
This is pure fucking epicness R.I.P Jimmy
OMFG how the fuck did he do that and then be able to play other songs when they played live...... i have some major respect towards james... but this makes me want to praise the guy
R.I.P
The Rev ♥
wow he did have major double bass skills
3:34 ❤
@Fagoooooo Probably From The Tracks In Guitar Hero. This Song Was On Guitar Hero 2
That fucking snare roll at 3:30 is badass
3:27
I was not told about this
makes him more bad-ass
foREVer
Why he shouldnt be his favourite drummer? Its not about the skill..
He is my favourite drummer too because i like his style
ill look into it.
I changed my screen up and down so I could like the video again.
Not ready to die was made for cod black ops as the zombie theme song.
I looooooooooooooooove it soooooooooooooooo much R.I.P JIMMY:'(
R.I.P
Rev-In-Peace
@ProblemPeople If he had a chance to try more things i'd say he would have been doing VERY complex stuff and completely blowing us away with his fucking amazing talent. but he never got to really grow into that kind of music, but in all that he did get to do he had already blown me away. how he came up with some of his stuff, i haven't a notion. he was a crazy basterd up for anything and i worship him for that.
I think he would have taken Neil Peart if he needed drum lessons, but Neil is immortal.
eargasm, this is fucking amazing i love it
Not Ready to die was written with The Rev? That explains why the drums are so awesome in this Song :D
Fiction is recorded by The Rev but they finished it.
They didn't even knew that The Rev recorded Fiction.. (3 days before he died)
makes life easier and i realize ive been over complicating the intro so so much
Drummer: The rev
Level: GOD
the rev is the best drummer in the world
2020
@HoboBassist the bass drums are. if you listen to the drum track in critical acclaim youll hear the natural sound of his kit. everything else though on this is natural
What's Jimmy
we live in America, here its HONOR.
3:40 reminds of slayers angel of death part where dave only play the bass drums
