Jason Toop Cooper (born 31 January 1967 in London, England) is an English musician best known for his work with The Cure.

Life and Work

Jason first joined the "The Cure" in 1995 as their drummer, following the 1993 departure of Boris Williams. So far, he has helped record the studio albums "Wild Mood Swings", "Bloodflowers", "The Cure" and the band's forthcoming album '. He also appeared in ' and "".

Most fans are not as receptive to Jason as they were to his predecessor. This may be because he first appeared on the album "Wild Mood Swings", which was poorly received because its material was largely atypical of The Cure. Plus several drummers were auditioning for the job at the time, and so Jason did not in fact play all the drums on that album. But in all fairness Jason has proven himself an excellent drummer on the latter albums "Bloodflowers" and "The Cure". Some of his best drumming can be heard in the songs "39", "Bloodflowers", and "Spilt Milk", the omitted track off Bloodflowers, in addition to his performance of "Pornography" on the "Trilogy" DVD.

Some fans encouraged the band to rehire former drummer Boris Williams via myspace in 2005 after the band added Porl Thompson back to the lineup.

On 15 May 2004, Jason married his long-time girlfriend Allison. [ [http://www.picturesofyou.us/members/jason.htm Jason Cooper ] ]

Jason studied drums at London's Drumtech where he is now a patron and visiting artist.

He also composes music for film, most notably co-creating the score for the upcoming horror/thriller "From Within", for which he and co-composer Oliver Kraus won the award for Best Original Score at the 2008 Solstice Film Festival.
