Arin Ilejay is the new drummer for Avenged Sevenfold. He was the temporary replacment after Mike Portnoy helped the band with the album Nightmare, after he passing of the Rev in 2009.

Their name is based on the philosophy of, "what goes around comes around." M. Shadows got it from the biblical story of God's wrath upon Cain for killing his brother Abel. Quote: "Therefore whoever slayeth, Cain vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold."b From a7xam28 it also says "then Cain shall be Avenged Sevenfold"
From 2001 to 2006, Branden Steineckert was the drummer of The Used, but on September 12, 2006, The Used announced and confirmed that Branden was no longer a member of the band. They said they felt they needed to move forward without him, and that there was a personality conflict between Branden and another band member; however, they did say that they love Branden and wish him the best in whatever he does in the future. In late 2006, it was announced drummer Dan Whitesides of New Transit Direction would replace Steineckert. Whitesides continues to be their drummer to this day.

what do u mean? before the rev died or after? cuz after the rev died this guy mike portnoy from dream theater helped them tour and stuff till recently when avenged sevenfold wanted him to do what he wants not to force him so he left and now they dont know who the drummer will beAnswer 2The Rev was the first and original drummer of Avenged Sevenfold.After The Rev died, the band worked throughout 2010 with Mike Portnoy of Dream Theatre, however A7X didn't keep him after they felt that Mike was expecting to become an official member, even though it was never the plan. Mike even quit Dream Theatre in anticipation of joining A7X, despite it never being the plan. Unfortunately, relations between Mike and the band are taut as Mike had assumed too much too soon. Avenged Sevenfold wanted a drummer who was virtually unheard of so they could become a member of 'A7X' as a whole... whereas, they felt that if Mike had stayed, it would have forever been 'Avenged Sevenfold with Mike Portnoy' as he was already established.Since January 2011, the band have been working with former Confide drummer, Arin Ilejay. There is no current confirmation as to whether he will become an official/permanent member, however it is thought he will be as the band have expressed severe interest in keeping him. They now just wish to see if he is able to write an 'Avenged Sevenfold' album, as his previous ventures were in Christian bands.
