Pearl Drums recently announced Jason Bittner as an endorsing artist. For the past 11 years, Bittner has created a name for himself primarily for his work with Shadows Fall and his drum clinics. Bittner gained attention almost immediately after joining Shadows Fall, starting with the band’s 2002 release, The Art of Balance, which reached international acclaim and served as the band’s breakthrough album. In 2004, Shadows Fall released A War Within, earning them their first Grammy Nomination for the song, “What Drives the Weak”, in the Best Metal Performance category.
Bittner’s blistering speed and control behind the kit has not gone unnoticed by the drum community, as he has been the featured performer at the Modern Drummer Festival, Drummer Live Fest, PASIC, and many other fan-filled clinic events. Upon joining the Pearl Family, Bittner turned to the innovative design of Pearl’s Reference Series drums.
