Jerod has been playing the drums since 2008 and wanted to create a positive environment that people can come together, collaborate their ideas, and hang out with each other.

Nowadays his covers are mainly game soundtracks and occasionally meme songs (typically bait-and-switch music tracks made by SiIvaGunner) requested by fans. It was later until late November 2015 when he started to gain attention after uploading drum covers of Undertale soundtracks, and sooner other gaming soundtracks. His videos formerly used the template " - (Drum Cover)" but he switched to " - On Drums!" a while after upgrading his drum kit. His first drumming video was uploaded 6 years later, on August 5, 2015, titled "Halo 2 Soundtrack - Peril (Drum Cover) - The8BitDrummer". This video has since been set as private.
