Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan (Avenged Sevenfold)
“Truly Skilled drummer. Listened to "Almost Easy" lately? He's INSANE on that song”
“he can do any thing with the double basses he has great technique and rhythm. he also doesn't just play the same thing over and over
”
“if you could actually take the time to see what you've got dealing with the rev he should be #1. this guy has the skill to do a roll with his feet on a bass drum, and he is incredibly speedy. he should instantly beat out the competition of any other drummer”
“this guy is crazy. if you really listen to a7x music you would understand that the rev deserves a top ten spot. he must have incredible strength to drum that fast for such a long period of time”
“I swear Jimmy is on crack when he drums. Swinging his sticks like a madman and never stopping, he should be #1”
“Jimmy is amazing. The stuff that he can produce with two feet and two hands is amazing. Yes, he deserves to be number one. If you see him in a live show. You'd know why he should be number one. He adds things into the song during concerts that simply blows my mind. His blast beats are wicked and he's ALWAYS moving. Even if Avenged isn't doing a song during concert, he's doin drum solos. When they came to Chicago, he must've smoked something before he got here, he was simply a god.”
“he's a great drummer who can made a great songs... HE'S MORE THAN A DRUMMER!”
“He and Joey Jordison stand alone as the masters of the double bass.”
“he's like a ferret on acid!
amazing?!”
“Absolutely Fantastic”
“INSANE I say. [:”
“great jimmy ..”
“jimmy is my inspiration! I love him with all my heart. him and his gf are absolutely adorable together ((dont hate the gf's)).
A7X for life and after life!”
“th rev is freakin amazin some of the craziest footwork your ever gonna hear ex. Blinded in Chains souble bass solo insane”
“Jimmy is The Greatest Drumer on the world.. he can roll,play double pedal,and sing in the same time... his foot is freakin fast..”
“Dude, he has to be in the top ten!
Listen to "Chapter Four" and any other Avenged Sevenfold song. This guy is amazing.”
“best drummer ever!”
“has his own style of drumming”
“Compared to any one else's drumming I've ever heard I've never herd foot work like his. I'm a huge a7x fan too. He's fast!”
“Dude, he has to be in the top ten!
Listen to "Chapter Four" and any other Avenged Sevenfold song. This guy is amazing.”
“yea he can play anything his double bass beats are like no other he makes me strive to be a better drummer myself his quickness is unbelievable his rolls are like lightening he has blazing speed like theres a lot of drummers that play the double bass great but "The Rev" he can play the rest of the set I can say confidently better than any other drummer I have ever heard so maybe people should start listening to him then you'll see "The Rev is the Best"”
“this guy here should be at the top of this table.. he is freaking fast n he can sing too.. listen 2 second heartbeat.. this guy is freaking good and amazing.. I don't see why he is not at the top of the table..”
“Jimmy is amazing he should be in the top five. Listen to any of a7x songs.”
“should be top 5”
“He's a legend!
best drummer ever.
he should be in the top ten definitely :)
”
“The most amazing drummer ever.”
“He's my Drumming GOD!
One of the best drummers around, not just because he can play fast, but because he's very technical as well, which is why I also support Portnoy and Nick Menza..
The Rev, amazing!”
“REV IS THE BEST BECAUSE AND LISTENS 2 THE BEST SUCH AS PORTNOY, ULLRICH, AND VINNIE PAUL. HE COMBINES A DOUBLE BASS COMBO AND SINGLE BASS WITH HI-HAT ITS AWESOME! IVE MET HIM AND HE IS SO COOL AND DOWN TO EARTH.
BUT HE IS MY IDOL”
“Rev rocks he is the only 1 who hits that sound
”
“Faster damn drummer in the world, and the greatest :]”
“He's the fastest drummer ever in this world.. he can sing and play double pedal at the same time!”
“I Love The Rev He Is Very Good”
“I've never seen such effortless drumming skills as possessed by The Rev. He is AWESOME!”
“the rev is one of the best drummer, he drum like a beast
is the best”
“the rev is the most kickass drummer of all time! listen to burn it down and tell me that he doesn't kill everyone else!”
“The rev is so badass, and he wrote half the avenged sevenfold songs”
“The Rev is like my fave drummer. The dudes totally insane and he really drumms his ass off”
“Totally Mind Blowing... Needs to be number 1”
“Best drummer EVER. There is NONE like the Rev.”
“He's one reason why Avenged Sevenfold so freakin' rocks! He's one of the factors that makes Avenged Sevenfold for what it really is... †ROCK†!”
“Just... crazy”
“The Rev pwns.”
“The Rev is the best modern day drummer. He is like Jesus, but in the form of a drummer. Unlike other heavy metal drummers, he doesn't jus do the same double bass beat over and over again. He uses his hands and feet to make the song insane. Listen to Darkness Surrounding, the drum solo is incredible, and he is changing the beat constantly, thats what makes him great. I am a huge Avenged Sevenfold fan, and have all of their albums, and I am drummer myself, and the Rev is my idol. He should deffenitly be ahead of Joey Jordinson, and half the people on this list.”
“everyone else has nothing on him. he is the greatest drummer since Bonham of Led Zepplin”
“The Rev Is my idol I am also a drummer and I love him. I think he deserves to be higher. He is a double bass drum God!”
“AWESOME DRUMERRRRRRRRRRRR”
“BEST DRUMMER”
“BEST DRUMMER EVER, AND PLAYS IN THE BEST BAND EVER!”
“OMG! #8 NO! THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE HE IS LIKE A MAN WITH EIGHT ARMS. THAT MAN IS THE BEST DRUMMER. A7X HAS THE BEST GUYS THER SYNYSTER GATES, ZACKY, CHRIST, SHADOWS AND JIMMY JIM I LOVE THIS BAND THE BEST OUT THER SINCE GUNS N ROSES AND YOU ALL KNOW THAT A7X IS THE GUNS N ROSES OF OUR GENERATION!”
“A7X is the amazing, and the rev is an amazing drummer”
“the rev owns the drums... rev ftw!”
“4 reals he's great just listen to 2nd heartbeat this guy can double bass and is just completely awesome
”
“OMGG! THE REV IS FREAKEN NUMBER 1! he makes the best beats ever.
”
“THE REV! he's the freakin best he's in my fantasy band oh along with zacky vee/syn gates wow... number 9!?!?!?! wtf?!?!”
“DEFINATELY no 1. To play that well and fast as well as sing like in critical aclaim No question”
“ok I understand that neil peart, john bonham, and lars ulrich outrank The Rev! but cmon, blink 182?! 30 seconds to mars?! the drums are so predictable, nothing complex or skilled about them! and yoshiki?! he's the worst drummer in the top 10! he overkills, no technique whatsoever! the rev should at least be number 6 or 5...”
“I am in love the rev he's the best drummer in the world he not only can make fast beats but changes it up he has to have like 8 legs er something because damn can his feet move not only can he play drums like no other can he can play guitar bass piano and sing like freaking awesome and he coposes which is amazing usually you take guitars AWAY from drummers but not this guy you give him instruments and he makes wonders his drum rolls and double bass the solo in blinded in chains was amazing I say number 8 is a disgrace for the rev he's fer sure higher up”
“how many limbs does this guy have?!?!?!?!?!”
“No drummer can drum with the speed of this guy and the beats he makes are amazing- listen to beast and the harlot. his technique is also very skillful. He may not be worthy of 1st or 2nd but he should definitely be 3rd”
“so cool!”
“He makes the drums sound so good! Perfect drummer!”
“Listen to all of Avenged Sevenfold's albums in one sitting. The only thing that remains consistently amazing is The Rev's playing. He was such a major component of their sound, and not just on drums. A songwriter and all around musician with his piano and vocal work.”
“Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan wasn't just a drummer, he was a drummer with skill. He was a GOD at the double-bass. I don't think anyone can replace this genius. He was the one who wrote "Almost Easy", all the guitar riffs, singing, and drumming. That's amazing for a drummer to do that. Long live the GOD of drums. May "The Rev" forever rest in peace.”
“Just try keeping up with him. If he was alive no one would be able to in a drum off or anything. He can improvise like no other and is able to keep the best offbeats ever. Listen to afterlife, almost easy, unholy confessions, beast and the harlot. get out of the stupid 70's and realize the guys starting to become big now are gonna make it into the hall of fame too sometime. Half the drummers above can't even keep a faster beat thats why they mix their crap. The Rev is the Rev for a reason because he is the Reverend of A7x's music and all drummers.”
“jimmy was something unique, that's the only word. he was my inspiration, my roll model. he is the reason I want play the drums, my motivation. he is simply special. when he plays he simply blows my mind completely. he doen't play the same stuff over and over again, he always coms up with new stuff. he definitely deserves first place no doubt abou it.”
“He was one of the most gifted drummers. He was truely an animal behind the kit. Noone will ever be able to drum like him. He was taken from us too soon. RIP REV! We love you!”
“James Sullivan is truly a genius. He is by far the best drummer from our generation. He never copied anything he has done but simply continued to make more. He is the inspiration for so many people who are musicians or dream to one day be. You will always hear people talking about how amazing he is. Go on a marine base and you will find plenty of hardcore avenged sevenfold fans. RIP James Sullivan "The Rev" you left too soon”
“Jimmy was and always will be the best drummer of all time! He's an inspiration to all drummers and rock fans of what an amazing musician truly is. He will forever be in our hearts<3”
“Best damn drummer. Just listen to their self titled album. RIP Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan. You left us way too soon.”
“jimmy was the best damn drummer ever he will be missed dearly”
“the rev best drummer...”
“Jimmy is way better than Shannon. RIP Jimmy Sullivan”
“the rev is the best drummer ever... he will be missed but never forgotten ily-helena :]”
“R.I.P The Rev you always in our heart dude

”
“he was a prodigy, and he knew it! he was unbelievably musically talented in every way but the drums were his weapon of choice and his passion. Inspirational, much too rare to die.”

“Jimmy won't be forgotton, we all felt the same fire deep within our stomachs when he fought those drums, because thats what great mucisions do, they fight the instrument and you know their great... when they win.. Jimmy, won”
“The Reverend Tholomew Plague,
Was THE best drummer of all time
(in my opinion)
He was loved,
an incredible drummer.
R.I.P Rev you'll be missed and always loved <3”
“Bad a$$ drummer, and talented musician. he was a freak of nature. he was one in a million. he could play anything he wanted. very creative fills, and he very diverse.
But c'mon! mike portnoy not # 1?
a7x is my fav band, but portnoy is technically the best drummer in the world.”
“The Reverend Tholomew Plague was probably one of the best drummers to sit behind the kit. The main reason is he brought completely new elements, rhythms, soul, and heart into the drumming world. Making fills that are out of this world. God rest his soul. RIP Rev, we will forever remember you and your name. Carpe Diem”
