Having gigged and recorded with EMF guitarist Ian Dench and singer Amanda Ghost, Jason has earned 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 his efficiency in the studio, where he has been known to record drum parts for albums within three days.

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