Jason Bittner

Jason Bittner (born January 11, 1970) is an American musician, best known as the current drummer for metal band Shadows Fall.

Bittner also played in death metal band Burning Human with New York phenom Mike Stack.

Hudson Music released a joint DVD with Bittner and Chris Adler of the American metal band Lamb of God, Pro-Mark introduced the Jason Bittner Signature model 5BX drumstick, and Meinl introduced the Bell Blast ride, designed in conjunction with Jason.

In the early winter months of 2007, Bittner spent much of his time writing and recording old and material for his original band, "Burning Human."

Late March brought the beginning of the Shadows Fall tour cycle supporting Threads of Life, which was released in April 2007.

Bittner and Hudson Music launched his first ever instructional DVD entitled "What Drives the Beat" in October 2008, with a clinic tour following its release.

In 2011, he signed on as a Zildjian cymbal artist and commenced on a worldwide 30-city drum clinic tour that covered the globe from the US to Australia to Europe, the UK and as far as Russia.

The band completed the 2012 Rockstar Mayhem Festival and its subsequent Canadian tour, and Bittner then returned to Shadows Fall, full-time.
