JORDAN ASHER - USA

Meet Red Worship Artist, Jordan Asher! Jordan took up drumming at the age of 13. Musical gifts have been in Jordan’s family for generations, so naturally he felt a calling to it. Jordan’s uncle is a drummer and his grandfather too was also a drummer. Jordan also has two older brothers who both play drums. At the age of 13 Jordan decided to try out for the middle school band, but was denied for percussion for reasons unknown. Luckily Jordan is determined to learn even when there is no one there to show him how to do something. Jordan’s brother had been gifted an old drum set by their uncle when his brother first took interest in learning to play. When at home alone, Jordan would take the time to sit down and learn how to play along to 70s and 80s rock music. Eventually Jordan would become a fairly decent drummer and be given the chance to play for the first time in front of a live audience. The pressure of not only playing in front of live audiences, but messing up, would make him realize that there’s always more to learn, so he kept practicing. Sometimes for several hours, and up until his hands were covered in blisters. In the year of 2017 Jordan was reached out to from a church that was starting up and in need of a drummer. Jordan had always wanted to play in a worship setting, so he didn’t hesitate to say yes. Not only was this the first time that he would play in a worship setting, but also the first time he would learn to play along with click tracks. Jordan would be honest and tell you that he didn’t know how much work his tempo needed till he started playing along to click tracks, but he has since then learned and become so good with tempo that he can easily show others how to stay on it or jump back on it when they fall off. Today Jordan now plays for a handful of church buildings and worship artists.
