[2] In the same year, he performed on the self-titled debut album by Redemption. He currently teaches drum lessons at Big Beat Studios in New Jersey.[ citation needed ]
On February 27, 2013, it was announced by Symphony X's management that, during the previous week, Jason was admitted to hospital for heart failure. He spent a week in hospital, and was released after some days. Jason then started a rehab program, and has been told that his recovery will take a minimum of 3–6 months under doctors' care. [3] On March 26, 2013, the band announced that John Macaluso would join them on tour for their South American and European dates, until Jason recovers from such health problems. [4]
In 2019, Jason Rullo formed a new band by the name of "3 Rules" along with guitar player Ron Sanborn and bassist Artha Meadors. They released their debut album "Rule of 3" through a GoFundMe campaign in 2020. In an interview with Sonic Perspectives, Jason Rullo said "This is a real band, not just a project". [5]
