Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan was the drummer for Avenged Sevenfold. He passed away on December 28th, 2009. Now I don't know how you all feel about this, but i was extremely sad when I found out about it. He was a cool, funny guy. He was also my favorite drummer of all time.
Not only was he a great drummer, he was a good person. He would make everyone laugh on many occasions.
If it makes us fans this sad, I can only imagine what it was like for the band. The Rev was their best friend, and losing him must have been extremely hard for them. Even though they now have Arin Ilejay as their drummer, no one could ever replace The Rev.
