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

Contents

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]

On January 26th 2025, Jason announced his retirement as a touring musician on his official Instagram saying "I am no longer a touring musician so I will be selling off most (possibly all) of my equipment and belongings.". Along with this he changed his Instagram biography to say "l used to go on stage and pretend I was supposed to be there." [4]

In 2025 Jason Roeder announced he was no longer a member of the band Sleep and had been "unceremoniously fired over the phone".

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. [5] [6]
