Since 2006, Jayson has turned some of his energy into hosting and promoting world class drum events right here in Saskatchewan. With a trend of young musicians finishing high school and thinking they needed to leave Saskatchewan to have a career in the music industry, Jayson has set out to bring part of the big music scenes here to Saskatchewan and keep the musicians motivated and inspired.
What started off as clinics with one artist has now escalated into two world class events hosting 7 – 10 artists twice a year. The Regina Drum Festival and the Stickman Drum Experience has brought the world to Saskatchewan and continues to move ahead at a rapid pace. Just some of the artists that Jayson has brought to Saskatchewan to educate and motivate include : Billy Ward – New York ( BB King ), Steve Ferrone – London
( Tom Petty), Stanton Moore – New Orleans ( Galactic), Kenny Aronoff – Los Angeles
( John Mellencamp), Dafnis Prieto – Cuba (Michel Camilo), Damien Schmitt – Paris (Alain Caron), Chris Coleman – Atlanta ( Stevie Wonder), Rich Redmond – Nashville
