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]
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]
