Hello! My name is Jonathan, and I have playing drums for about 15+ years. I started in high school, and fell in love with drums and music in general, and just wanted to play as much as I was able to. I have played in many bands, and have played shows and toured all across the U.S. as well as in Canada! Being able to create something, and help other people create, and discover how their favorite song is played is what makes me want to play and teach people.
