James Owen Sullivan
Aka The Rev
Drummer For Avenged Sevenfold
February 10, 1981 - December 28, 2009

"Dear God, I pray James "The Rev" Sullivan is in a little piece of heaven in the afterlife making the angels scream. He siezed the day in bat country then burned it down, his unholy confessions trashed and scattered. We gave him the strength of the world and he gave a us a second heartbeat. He is MIA, but will walk on through thick and thin to the wicked end. May you be in eternal rest" - Some Girl on Myspace.

Hello. I am Justin! I am 12 years old and as of 2009 I have been playing drums for about 3 years. I had a Groove Percussion drumset in Firetruck Red. For Christmas I got A Pearl Vision VBX Ruby Fade. It's a heavy metal sounding kit with a beautiful red to black fade shell. It comes with hardware and it's not too expensive for the sound. I have played and tried it at a local Sam Ash.

I also play piano. I have a Yamaha, a Casio wk-800(?), and a Baldwin real piano. I have been playing piano for 4 years and I have been called gifted by everybody that has heard me play. After about a year of piano lessons, I was so ahead, I was ahead of people who had been taking piano lessons for 3 or 4 years. I had learned some complex techniques, scales, and chords. I am currently on my annual long break from piano lessons. I will be signing up again soon.

I also play guitar. I'm not THAT great. I have an Ibanez Left handed acoustic, and an electric guitar. My favorite tunings are Drop C and Drop D

I love rhythm video games. I love them all! I have these Guitar Hero games:

Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith
Guitar Hero 4: World Tour
Guitar Hero 5
Guitar Hero: Van Halen

And I have Rock Band 1 and 2. I WOULD get the Beatles Rockband, but Beatles are a little too mellow for me. I would get Lego Rockband, but it just seems too "beginner-ish" for me.

I also like photo editing, photo manipulating, and making cool designs. I have used MS Paint, Photoshop, and Gimp. My favorites are MS Paint and Gimp.

No one else has noticed, but long words get super glued to my head. The word after this sentence is spelled correctly without reading off of anything, it's all memory. Pnemonoultramicroscopicsilicov olcanoconiosis. Yes, that is a real word. I also like other long words like tintinnabulation, antidisestablishmentarianism, and marshmallows.
