Drumbeat breakdown for Bat Country by Avenged Sevenfold

Here is a short clip of how I understand part of the drum beat / drum fill is played by The Rev in Bat Country from Avenged Sevenfold. There have been plenty of times since I’ve been playing the drums when I would ask, “how’d did they play that drum beat or drum fill?” I’m hoping to have the drum beat broken down and played slow enough to give drummers of any experience an idea. The video also has the drum beat played at half the tempo and the tempo of the song Please note the drum notation maybe not be exactly how it is played in Bat Country but I would like to think it’s very close to how the drum beat is played. This is my interpretation of this drum beat and how it worked for me to learn this drum beat. It can be broken up several different ways, that’s the beauty of playing music. Hope it helps anyone looking to play the drums!
