Dreyer was also a touring and session guitarist for the bands Demons and Wizards, White Wizzard, and Kobra and the Lotus.
Shortly after Jag Panzer disbanded, Dreyer joined DeathRiders, a heavy metal band fronted by former Anthrax (American band) vocalist, Neil Turbin. The newly formed group soon started preparing for upcoming performances and the future “Stay Screaming” tour. When asked about DeathRiders new lineup, Giovanny Torres-Bass, Peter Vazquez-Drums, Mike Guerrero-Guiter, and Jake Dreyer-Guitar, Turbin stated, “This is the best group of guys I ever had the opportunity to work with! Right from the first time we played together there was an undeniable chemistry that I personally have been searching for, a powerful musical connection that I know the fans are going to feel as well. The musicianship is top-notch.” DeathRiders performance was recorded live at the House of Blues in West Hollywood, California on August 23, 2011.
At the age of 6, Jake started playing guitar after he heard the AC/DC song “Hells Bells”. “I instantly knew that I wanted to do that too. I was hooked,” says Dreyer during a July 2011 interview with Noisecreep. “Like anyone else, my tastes broadened over the years. So once I started progressing in my playing, I looked for heavier bands like Megadeth and Testament. In high school, I discovered all of the Shrapnel Records guys, but Yngwie Malmsteen was the first guitarist I heard that really changed my life. There was something about his playing that just pulled me in,” remembers Dreyer. Jake released four EPs and an album before graduating high school. During that time, he also studied under Chris Broderick (Megadeth, Jag Panzer, Nevermore) and David Shankle, (Manowar), and won the 2007, 2008, and 2009 award for best guitarist of the year.
In September 2011, Jake became the new guitarist for the band White Wizzard. Within a month’s time, he and the band set out on a nationwide tour as the opening act for Firewind on the “Frets of Fury” tour along with Arsis, and Nightrage. The tour was both well received and attended. Immediately thereafter, the band set out for Bochum, Germany to begin a two-month European tour as direct support for Iced Earth. Upon their arrival home, the band started writing new music. The first song from this collaboration,”Torpedo of Truth” was recorded in May 2012. When asked about the new music, the band posted, “It will feature, beastly rhythm, thunderous melodic bass and some serious shred at a whole new level. Soon thereafter, Jake and the band headed to Tokyo to play at Club Quattro for the band’s first ever Japanese tour. On June 3, 2013, “The Devil’s Cut” was released via Earache Records/Century Media featuring guitar solos by Jake Dreyer.
In late December 2011, Jake assisted Chris Broderick at the Skolnick/Broderick Winter Guitar Retreat in New York. In January 2012, he checked in with Jackson guitars.com to talk about his time with Broderick and the whole experience: “We got up on stage and jammed Jason Becker’s “Perpetual Burn” on the last night. It was a great time!”.

I am pretty proud of the final product…”
In July 2011, Jake was chosen to replace Christian Lasegue in the power metal band Jag Panzer (Century Media Records). Shortly after welcoming Jake into the group, Jag Panzer decided to disband. The unexpected breakup made news worldwide. Drummer Rikard Stjernquist said, “One player, 19-year-old Jake Dreyer, submitted videos of him nailing solos from both Chris Broderick and Christian Lasegue. We were ready to welcome Jake into the band, but, unfortunately, that will not happen. There is no doubt in any of our minds that Jake will go on to be a household name in his own right.” Despite Christian Lasegue’s replacement by the 19-year-old virtuoso guitarist Jake Dreyer, frontman Mark Briody stated,”the decision to split was not due to Lasegue’s departure. It’s what was best for the band as a collective and its individual members.”
