Jason McGerr

Jason McGerr

Jason McGerr is the current drummer for the band Death Cab for Cutie. McGerr was previously in Krusters Kromonid and Eureka Farm as well as the Seattle jazz trio Teenage Rockin' Combo. McGerr is an instructor at the Seattle Drum School when not playing drums for Death Cab for Cutie. McGerr has also helped and mentored pre-teen indie-pop group Smoosh.

McGerr played on Matt Nathanson's latest release Some Mad Hope. He is featured on half the tracks of the album, Jason McKenzie played on the other half.

Jason has also lent a hand to Pretty Girls Make Graves on their The New Romance album. This was done while drumming for his other band Neo.

He also drummed on the latest Tegan and Sara album The Con, and on his Death Cab bandmate Chris Walla's solo album, Field Manual.

Jason plays Ludwig drums, Paiste cymbals, Vic Firth drumsticks, and Drum Workshop pedals and hardware.

In June 2007, McGerr opened the doors to his own recording studio, Two Sticks Audio, located in Seattle, WA - where Smoosh, Only Human, Moros Eros, Grand Archives, David Bazan, Mark Kozelek, Matt Cameron of Pearl Jam, and Death Cab for Cutie--amongst others--have spent time recording.

After the opening of his studio, Jason began working with Propellerhead on an expansion pack for Reason 4. It's been dubbed "The Jason McGerr Sessions", and it is available as a refill from the propellerheads website.
