Jason Roeder is the drummer of the Oakland-based metal bands Neurosis and Sleep.

He played in the hardcore punk band Violent Coercion with Scott Kelly and Dave Edwardson before the trio formed Neurosis in 1985.[1] The group also formed experimental/noise project Tribes of Neurot, Neurosis' alter ego.[2] In 2010, Roeder replaced the retiring drummer of the stoner metal band Sleep.[3]

Equipment

Roeder plays on kits with only a single rack and floor tom since he was 12 years old since the basic set-up forces more creativity. He custom builds his own snare drums while using DW hardware and Paiste cymbals.[4][5]
