Michael Jerome Moore, born in Wichita, Kansas, is an American rock musician and drummer. Jerome is a former member of the Toadies (1990–91), Course of Empire (1994–1998), and James Hall's band Pleasure Club,[1] which was formed in 2002. He was also a member of the Saginaw, Texas band Pop Poppins. Jerome played on Charlie Musselwhite's 2004 release Sanctuary, and has also toured and/or recorded with Blind Boys of Alabama, John Cale, Anna Egge, Tom Freund and many others. Jerome is double-jointed and ambidextrous, allowing him to play drums in ways no single-jointed normally dextrous drummer would be able to.

Jerome joined the Louisiana-based band, Better Than Ezra in 2009, following the departure of the band's drummer of 13 years, Travis McNabb.[1] McNabb had amicably left Better Than Ezra in February 2009 in order to tour full-time with Sugarland.[1] Better Than Ezra's 2009 album, Paper Empire, marked Jerome's recording debut with the band.[1]

He has also toured with Richard Thompson and John Cale. He recorded four albums with John Cale - blackAcetate (2005), Circus Live (2007), Extra Playful (2011) and Shifty Adventures in Nookie Wood (2012).

Jerome currently resides in Los Angeles, California.[1]
