BIOGRAPHY

Known for his powerful drumming with Metal supergroup Axewound and industrial legends Pitchshifter, Jason has toured the world from club level to Stadium level - and continues to do so with various artists - sometimes in an emergency!
After a sudden stand-in for Fightstar, in December 2010, Jason was asked to stand in - with literally days to spare for Bullet for my Valentine's U.K. headline Arena tour - with no rehearsals! It was this opportunity - duly taken - that spawned the Metal supergroup Axewound with Bullet singer Matt Tuck, Liam Cormier (Cancer Bats), Joe Copcutt (Rise to Remain) and Mike Kingswood (Glamour of the kill).
Jason has toured and recorded with the likes of Killing Joke, Bill Bailey ('In Metal' album) and Pop will eat itself to name a few, and he also records drums remotely for commercial ventures such as video games (Grid 2, Forumla 1 2012, Halo) and T.V. commercials.

As well as drumming, Jason is an accomplished song-writer having co-written , performed and produced two albums for his critically, acclaimed side-project band - This is Menace, which featured over 19 guest vocalists from bands such as Killing Joke, Hundred Reasons, Funeral for a Friend and Fightstar and also various albums for sync companies such as Sony's Extreme Music and Sky.

In other genres of music, Jason has gigged and recorded with EMF guitarist Ian Dench and singer Amanda Ghost which in turn has earned him respect from U2 and Depeche Mode producers Dave McCracken and Steve Fitzmaurice. Personal requests from Sony BMG to record for up and coming bands has reinforced Jason's efficiency in the studio, where he has been known to record drum parts for albums within three days. This positive work ethic is further echoed by other international producers that Jason has worked with such as Colin Richardson, Carl Bown, Machine, Ulrich Wilde, Al Clay, Andy Sneap, Romesh Dodangoda and Sterling Winfield.

On the drum clinic front, Jason has great experience playing and teaching at most of the main drum festivals from Drumfest, Drummer live to Frankfurt Musicmesse and UDE. His passion for education is further backed up by his tuition column in Rhythm magazine and contributions for the latest Rockschool syllabus of which he has written and performed tracks for.

In 2014, Jason was asked to sample drums and provide midi song packs for a flagship Toontrack release entitled 'Made of Metal'. The product has since proved a huge success and was recorded and mixed under the watchful eye of Slipknot/ Machinehead producer Colin Richardson.

At present, Jason continues to stand-in for Killing Joke and session drum for Pop will eat itself. He is also writing sync music for various companies and has a side-project called Unearth the Kings.
