Avenged Sevenfold Have A New Drummer

Looks like there are some exciting developments in the Avenged Sevenfold camp! What could it be…

Avenged Sevenfold Have A New Drummer

Avenged Sevenfold have confirmed that they have found their new drummer…

However, as they are being right secretive little rascals, they are keeping that person’s name under wraps. After Arin Ilejay (pictured – second from right) parted ways with the metallers back in July, this has left a drummer-sized hole in the band. The Internet has been rife with thousands of eager drummers posting audition videos to YouTube, but Avenged Sevenfold have released the following statement on their website:

“It has been brought to our attention that a lot of videos have been posted online from some pretty amazing drummers who want to try out for Avenged Sevenfold. While we appreciate the overwhelming interest and support we thought it would be the right thing to do to let everyone know that we already have someone. In fact, we have been working with this person for over a year now to make sure that it was a correct fit before making any sudden changes. When we have more to share we will be sure to do that.”

Who do you think it could be? And who would you like to see drumming for them? Comment below with your suggestions.
