Influence and Legacy
Garvin has stated that his inspiration was Ace Frehley of Kiss. Here is what he said:
"I actually wanted to be Ace Frehley of Kiss when I was five years old. Their 1976 Destroyer album is what turned me into a metal head."
With Living Sacrifice, Garvin influenced many metal bands, such as, As I Lay Dying, Throwdown, 7 Horns 7 Eyes, Saving Grace, Demon Hunter and Underoath.
Professionally, Garvin himself, along with Brandan Trahan of Impending Doom and xDEATHSTARx, Matt Greiner of August Burns Red, and Ted Kirkpatrick of Tourniquet, are all considered influential drummers for Christian metal.
Garvin has been compared by his band-mate, Bruce Fitzhugh, and others to Slayer's former drummer, Dave Lombardo.
