Such a sad day.
He was a great drummer and to die at 28 is just unbelievable.

R.I.P Jimmy :mad:

I Really like AS's self titled 2007 album,wouldn't call myself a massive fan but no denying their talent and the Revs drumming ability,infact he has quite a unique style,the track 'Almost Easy' from above mentioned album is especially well played imo,I like the way the ride cymbal follows the fast double bass drum pattern in certain sections,it almost sounds as though he's playing the ride cymbal double handed or has 2 ride cymbals. RIP Rev.

Very sad. I like Avenged Sevenfold's old stuff. Any idea how he died?

K1LLSW1TCH · 29 Dec 2009 at 15:00

I hope they carry on because I really enjoy listening to them.

No one is sure yet, still looking into it at the coroner's office. Some sites mention natural causes, some drug overdose.

Hope he is replaced, (very tough job) as he did play a major role in the band with the his input of the drums, vocals and piano. Cant see a replacement being half as good as he was tbh.

Sad news. RIP

el_dazza · 29 Dec 2009 at 15:27

WTF! Wow, I'm seriously shocked at this. RIP

afraser2k · 29 Dec 2009 at 16:29

Only 28, dying of natural causes. RIP.

J1234 · 29 Dec 2009 at 18:34

Wow, shocked to hear this. Sad news indeed. RIP.

I like a few songs, he is my friends idol so he has taken it hard. He is the one that inspired him to learn the drums. RIP
