Wonder if you guys noticed already
Mike Portnoy of Dream theater (claimed to be the REV's favorite drummer) will be filling in for Ax7.

"We asked Jimmy's all time favorite drummer Mike Portnoy to record on behalf of him. Mike said it would be an honor and without question that’s what Jim would have wanted. Its comforting to us that someone like Mike, who is undoubtedly revered as one of the best drummers in the world, held such respect and adoration for the Rev's abilities."

Woo...nice! Will be waiting for the record to come out!

yeahh the rev always seem so serious,
my impression on portnoy is, AWESOME drummer but playful!

It'll definitely be an interesting match !

Does that mean there will no longer be high pitched vocal-ling full of reverence, at some parts where M does not sing, to A7X's new sound?
