Based out of Richmond, Va., Jon Ward’s life as a drummer began at the age of six years old and it quickly became his life’s work. Music was Jon’s first love as he learned to play all different styles of music. Jon has been part of numerous tours, both on regional and national levels. As a young, aspiring drummer, Jon’s main influences were Alex Van Halen, Chad Sexton, Will Calhoun and Morgan Rose.
