==Equipment==
Roeder plays on kits with only a single rack and floor tom since he was 12 years old since the basic set-up forces more creativity. He custom builds his own snare drums while using [DW hardware](/source/Drum_Workshop) and [Paiste cymbals](/source/Paiste).[{{cite web | url=http://www.steelforbrains.com/post/56786729276/cerebros-alison-chesley-and-jason-roeder | title=Cerebros: Alison Chesley of Helen Money Speaks With Jason Roeder of Neurosis/Sleep | publisher=Steel For Brains | date=2013 | access-date=November 12, 2014}}][{{cite web | url=http://www.trebuchet-magazine.com/neurosis-honor-found-in-decay/ | title=Neurosis: Honor Found in Decay | work=Trebuchet Magazine | date=November 5, 2012 | access-date=November 12, 2014 | author=Thunders, Art}}]
