Career


Alexander has played the drums for several bands throughout his career. He was the original drummer for Death By Stereo, who appeared on the band's first album If Looks Could Kill, I'd Watch You Die. He left the band in 2000, but rejoined it in 2006 to record a new album.
He performed drums on the American Nightmare album Background Music. He toured Europe drumming for the Vandals in 2001, before touring with Jamison Parker in 2004. Alexander played the drums on Hunter Revenge's 2007 tour as well as performing with Only Crime in 2007.
In September 2011, Alexander filled in as the drummer for My Chemical Romance on their "Honda Civic tour", after touring drummer Michael Pedicone was fired after being caught stealing from the band. Alexander has continued to play with My Chemical Romance into 2012, including their appearances on the Australian Big Day Out tour dates and their final show at Bamboozle Festival. After their last concert, he stayed with the band and also recorded Fake Your Death until the band broke up in 2013. He's also contributed to My Chemical Romance members Gerard Way, Ray Toro, and Frank Iero's respective solo projects, after the breakup of the band.
In 2014, Alexander became a permanent member for the backing band for Gerard Way. He performed drums and is credited on Way's solo release, Hesitant Alien. From October 2014 until October 2015, Alexander played on a global tour supporting the record. He also played other dates with Way such as the Australian Soundwave music festivals, as well as the Boston Calling Music Festival in May 2015.
In October 2019, My Chemical Romance announced a reunion show, with Alexander returning on drums. He was the drummer for the band's reunion tour, which commenced in 2022 after being postponed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Recently, Alexander has also done drum work and toured for indie-pop act Meg Myers, and is currently working on new music with pop-punk act Necessary Noise. Jarrod plays all instruments in his own project called All Veins.
