The most amazing thing about this isn’t just the technicality, but the fact you can practically hear the entire song from just the drums alone. His drum composition skills were off the charts.

I feel like the bell/china pattern in the solo is so overlooked. It’s one of my favorite beats to play. And the simple fill in the outro too. In a song loaded with difficult fills, that one at 4:52 is so tasteful.

This drum track will never get old. Such an inspiration. So many unique fills and grooves

One of the grooviest metal drummers. What a shame he had to catch a new gig.

Let's not forget The Rev was one of the greatest drummers of all time. He turned the drums into a staple of the songs, rather than a rhythm maker and timekeeper. You listen to any other band's drum tracks and you'll never know what song it is.

The Rev, Deus da bateria. A linha é uma melodia em si, coisa que pouquíssimos conseguiram alcançar em suas músicas.

HELL YEAH!! I wish that I can play drums like The Rev!! Amazing!!

Best Person who ever played the drums

I finally learned how to play this in its entirety, but I don't think I'll ever get it perfect because of those ghost notes. Dude was a god behind the kit! Wish he was still here. foREVer

this drum track already enough to make it a good song :D

I would kill for that snare sound

Love that snare roll.

Digging the Snare overdub at the bridge.

If I ever play drums this will be the first song I would want to learn

This is so cool I love drumming music so much and I’m the wolf version of the rev WOOF !!

The original song/mix do the drums NO JUSTICE. This was what I was looking for. Sheeeeesh

Just the drum track itself is good enough to be a song

At least this doesn't have the cymbals and bass drum on the right speaker and everything else on the left like the higher quality version lolll that made it so hard to listen to.

Man, this is good.

I’ve always wanted to be a drummer when I grew up and whenever I hear a song, I always make sure there is actual good beat to the song and shit does this beat suit this song? Wow, I don’t really know if there ever will be a favourite avenged sevenfold song ever, but for me this is the best drum playing out of all Avenged Sevenfold songs. I mean don’t get me wrong. All of the other beats are fucking incredible! But if I had to choose ONE song that had the best drumming in it, it’d be Bat Country.

We all miss him

bloody brilliant

AMAZING BRO THANKS!

The Rev !

Honestly the Rev has to be in my top five of all time

R.I.P. rev u were one of my biggest inspirations and its fucked cause he died on my birthday 3 years ago

Just drum hard headbanging

Dude is an alien on drums

lol, those snare ghost notes .. i heard them before i see that vid, and know play it, really simple .. but that brake on 2:48+ .. brutal overfuck, which gives me a huge challenge

I was humming the solo in my head at that part \m/

man this drum track.. its like ttfaf of drums 2:48 at this point, this guy just isnt human anymore man

damn, this is perfect

it's like the drum is singing

Rest In Peace

Miss you rev..

Omfg. I got no words to say

I wish i can like that

nah 2:45- 2:52, is when the machine gun starts

this is his real drum track I've been reading all these comments and God dammit so many of you guys are stupid. He just edited the song taking out everything else but the drums, I do this everyday to learn songs.

Pretty fookin clean if these are live..

@TheXX07 Actually, a very simple and very easy fill once you're comfortable with the pattern - especially if you have a double bass pedal. Right hand, left hand, right foot, right foot, repeat. Sounds cool though.

@DrumLgend01 In original drum track at "to drive all through the night" and "the barren empty sights" parts Rev playing Crash + China.But in this drum track it goes only China :) And in this track kicks little bit slowly.The drumkit that played this track may be the rev's one of old kit.Because tones are very smilar to original drum track.I don't say that this track is bad , actually it's pretty good but as you know rev's track always better :)

What a masterpiece

I play this song on drums a lot. It's not too hard at all (For me at least...), but it's defiantly a very energy draining song, it takes a lot of energy to play this one and its so fucking fun.
