What I like about Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan is he has great technique and speed but not just bash away with running 32nd notes and double stroke snare riffs for the whole song but use it at the right time.

So, finally his fills just fit so nicely into the songs.

Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan have a cool signature which is a technique that can be Hear on tracks Such as "Almost Easy", "Critical Acclaim", and "Crossroads"

In this songs the rev doubles up at a fast tempo between the double bass and ride cymbals.

About Dave Lombardo

When I was in 3rd. grade my class had show and tell day, bashful as I was I brought a set of bongos and a Santana record and played along to a song. My parents put me in a Catholic private school where we lived in Southgate California. They had a school band, I was in that class only for a year, marching drum was not what I wanted but I enjoyed it very much. At age 10 my dad saw my persistent interest in drums and agreed to buy me a 5 piece Maxwin by Pearl drumset for $350.I was a KISS fan at the time and the first record I ever bought was KISS Alive, I taught myself to play "100,000 years". I remember being the talk of the town for knowing that solo. Some guy I knew during that time asked me if I knew the drum solo in the song "Moby Dick". I was very aware of Led Zeppelin but exposing myself to the record Led Zeppelin II showed me a side of music that I wasn't too familiar with, The Blues. An amazing amount of feeling was what this band had, and not only as a whole but the drummer John Bonham played with soo much emotion that I felt I learned that element and took it with me through my career. Later I learned this was Crescendo's and Decrescendo's.

I would listen to the radio often I would tune into a show called The King Biscuit Flower Hour, and hear pre-recorded broadcast's of live show's. I'd go to the local record store and buy 45's (records containing one song on each side.) of songs that I would hear on the radio and play along to them. I feel this was a learning period for me. I asked my parents to let me take drum lesson's. That lasted a week, I got extremely bored with LRLLRLRR.I went back to listening and playing along to records. From 10 to 12 years old all I liked was Rock music, but Something strange was happening to me and it wasn't just puberty.....Read More at Drummer World

About Chris Adler

chris adler snareChris Adler, drummer for metal megastars Lamb of God, has a voice and approach all his own, yet he didn't even begin to play drums seriously until he was already in his twenties. He did, however, grow up studying piano, saxophone, and acoustic guitar before finally settling on playing bass for several high school bands and other projects.

While attending Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia, Adler continued to play bass, record, and tour. He eventually got his first drumkit-a dilapidated monstrosity with a faulty footboard and uneven legs-but he didn't find his calling until 1994, when he reunited with some members of his freshman dorm to start a band. The bass spot was already taken, so Adler turned to drums full-time.

The band, known at the time as Burn the Priest, recorded two 7" singles and one full-length CD and toured incessantly over their five-plus-year career. They became one of the most downloaded metal bands ever and soon caught the attention of record labels. A switch in guitarists, a record deal, and name change later, Lamb of God was officially born and ready to explode....Read More at ModernDrummer

Shannon Lucas sits slump-shouldered behind the cluttered counter at one of the thousands of identical Guitar Center stores peppered throughout America. The fluorescent lighting is nauseating. The greasy-faced kid testing out 129 different crash cymbals is more nauseating. But neither is as nauseating as the empty space burning in Lucas' chest. The space that used to hold hope, glory, and metal.

Then, in the far distance, beyond the rack of overpriced percussion accessories, beyond the dusty stack of overlooked method books, in walk four misfit scoundrels known as the death metal group, The Black Dahlia Murder. They knew Lucas from the metal circuit and knew just where to find him. It was a drummer they sought, and a drummer they found.

Biography

Jordan Mancino Biography

Jordan Mancino Photo © by Jacobgibbs Photo

Jordan Mancino is the drummer of Metalcore band As I Lay Dying from San Diego,California.

He is known have incredible accurately and quickly skills plays double "blast beat" bass drum pedal around 170-190 bpm as you can hear on one of their songs 94 hours.

This is a big thing if we are talking about metalcore industry.

Even so, Jordan Mancino not always rely on or showing off his double bass drumming techniques. He prefers to give a perfect and solid performance for his band.

Jordan Mancino's drumming is one reason why As I Lay Dying became one of the great band in Metalcore scene, at least, in my opinion

How I joined the band:

Tim, who I had known through the local metal/hardcore scene in San Diego, gave me a call one day and asked if I was interested in starting a metal band with him. My other band had broken up not too long before that and the punk band I was filling in for wasn't too busy, so I said I was definitely interested; especially if we were going to be playing and writing metal. Tim, Evan, Jon (the original bass player), Jeremy (the original second guitar player) and I met up a few days later to introduce ourselves and talk a little about what direction we wanted to go. Not too long after that we started jamming and a few months later we recorded Beneath The Encasing Of Ashes then hit the road. The rest of this story can be found in our DVD!

Interview with WayTooLoud

Jordan Mancino Interview

Jordan Mancino: It's been impossible for me to fall asleep anytime before 8:00am. I think it's because we've been doing so much international touring the last couple months. We've just been flying and flying, and flying.

Way Too Loud: Getting jet lag?

Jordan Mancino: Yeah, I haven't been able to catch up. I've been trying to hard, but it's just not working! I think I'll wait until I get home, and then try to get on a normal schedule, because it's not really working right now!

WTL: Well, since the first new thing I'm noticing is the handle bar mustache, you've got to explain that. It's huge! You look like a Hell's Angel!

Jordan: (Laughs) I was growing a beard in December, and then we had a photo shoot for DW ( the drum company), and I didn't want a beard for that, so I shaved it into a moustache just for fun, and it just kind of grew on me for a couple of days. They were digging it, so I was like "Sweet!" Then they said they wanted me to do a commercial too! It's been cool because it's getting me work!

WTL: The video for "Nothing Left" debuted recently. What's it like shooting a video, especially from the position of the drummer? And does Tim scream or lip-sync?

Jordan: Sometimes he screams, sometimes he doesn't. We've got to run through the song so many times that he'll blow out his voice if he screams the whole time. Usually you just play along with the track, nothing is miked, and no sound is coming out. As far as I'm concerned, I could not shoot another video, ever! If I could do that, I'd be happy! I just don't like shooting videos, I like the end result product, because it looks really cool. I have to play the song so many times, and I get so exhausted after the 15th run-through. Being the drummer, I'm always in the background, even if they're doing a close-up of the guitar player or the singer, I'm always in the background while everyone else gets to take a break, because even if no one else is in the shot, I'm always in the background.
