      ​@@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.

    Rev was amazingly talented. If you hear any album he was able to record for them, you can get a sense of unity within the songs. He pretty was the heart and soul of the band and it was devastating for them when they found he out passed.
    He lived for what he loved and even after a decade plus, people still talk about him in the highest of regard.

    One interesting fact about The Rev that not many people know, is that the entirety of the drum tracks from A7X's first album; "Sounding the Seventh Trumpet" was all one take. I mean that as in each song was a single take, but he did that for bragging rights, so as the album goes on you can hear how it slowly gets sloppier and sloppier. Either way, The Rev is the whole reason I picked up the drums and I've been playing like him and inspired by him for years. I miss him so much. foREVer

It wasn't an accident that the Wikipedia article has the words "critical acclaim", as it is a song title in their catalog. They have quite a bit of diversity in their music from ballads to hard rock. Fingers crossed, I hope you decide to dig into them, and how they've grown musically as a band, as well as their new drummer, who deserves mention for his contribution and technical playing.

    That's how I hold my right stick as well, not on purpose, I've always considered it a flaw in my stick holding and try to correct it when I notice myself doing it. It does make me feel better to see a celebrated drummer like the Rev holding his stick like I do lol

    The Rev was such a musical genius!
    He was the heart of A7X..
    His technique was so perfect..
    Made it look so easy..
    There's a lot of A7X songs he wrote about his disease.
    Had the same thing as Joey Jordison.. Some say he took his own life and went out on his own terms, as described in the song "Bromton Cocktail"..

    29 years old, this man and bat country sparked the next 15 years of my music inspiration and guided me to metal and drums. My dad used to blast bat country and beast and the harlot on the sterio system when he watched headbangers ball and all that back in the day when the music channels were music channels. I still listen to the original few a7x albums to this day.

      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
