Jason Barnes is a drummer from Georgia, USA. He was electrocuted in a workplace accident in 2012, and as a result he lost his right arm. Despite this setback, in 2013 he was accepted into the Atlanta Institute of Music.[1] In 2014, a team from the Georgia Institute of Technology led by Professor Gil Weinberg fitted Jason with a robotic arm.[2] He has since toured internationally, most recently performing at Robotronica at the Queensland University of Technology.[3]
