ABOUT...

Born in Germany, Jonas drummed on pots and pans as soon as he was able to hold the wooden spoons in his mums kitchen.

He began taking drum lessons at the age of seven and was under the instruction of Dirk Brand from 2001-2011.

Before moving to the USA in 2012, he performed many shows in Germany and Switzerland of various musical styles, from long concerts with the Party Symphony Orchestra to rock festivals like Big Day Out with his original band "Schattenfänger".

Aligning with his passion for the sound & feel of acoustic drums, Jonas claimed the Gold Title in Roland's V-Drum Championship in Frankfurt in 2009.
