}}'''Jerome Dillon''' (born July 16, 1969) is the a film composer and former drummer for [[Nine Inch Nails]]. He played for NIN somewhat on ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]]'', during the [[Fragility]] tour and the beginning of the [[Live: With Teeth]] tour. Dillon auditioned for and joined NIN in 1999 after leaving his previous band, Howlin' Maggie.[https://www.deseret.com/2000/6/16/19512735/drummer-s-making-the-most-of-his-stint-with-nine-inch-nails] He left NIN on October 1, 2005, after health problems forced the band to postpone or cancel three concerts in a time period of less than two weeks. He appears in the [[Nine Inch Nails music videos|NIN music videos]] for "[[Into The Void (song)|Into The Void]]" and "[[The Hand That Feeds (song)|The Hand That Feeds]]".
==Cancelled shows==
Midway through the band's first Live: With_Teeth arena show in [[2005/09/16 San Diego, CA|San Diego, California]] on September 16, 2005, as the band was finishing "[[Gave Up]]," there were noticeable problems with Dillon's drumming (losing the tempo and other issues). As "[[Eraser]]" was supposed to start, he collapsed and was hospitalized. This and a subsequent show were postponed, and another gig was outright cancelled.[https://web.archive.org/web/20070626022140/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1510691/20050930/nine_inch_nails.jhtml] The cardiac disorder was later diagnosed as a non-life threatening consequence of his thyroid medication.[https://web.archive.org/web/20070927220112/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1526654/03202006/dillon_jerome.jhtml]
Dillon would play his last show with NIN at the Hollywood Bowl on [[2005/10/01 Los Angeles, CA|October 1, 2005]].
Recently, however, Dillon remarked in the [[nearLY]] message boards that there was currently no (at least on his part) animosity between himself and "any member of the NIN camp". He also joked that he especially meant [[Aaron North]], since he "tattooed my name on his ass..." [''sic''] (Referring of course to the statement by North in the "access" section of nin.com [http://www.nin.com/access/7_19_05/index.asp]
