Jon Pickard

Independent

I've been playing drums on and off ever since I was 8 years old. I am now 31 and it still remains my biggest and oldest passion. I have found myself returning with a vengeance in my early 20's and my musical career has been shaped since then. I grew up being influenced by heavy music, bands like Metallica, Disturbed, A7x and underoath just to name a few!

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    Watching other musicians who make me strive to be better every single day.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Practice, practice and PRACTICE! It is impossible to practice or care too much with this instrument. Talent does not exist - only repeated, consistent small inputs over time yields success.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    THIS is a really tricky question. It's all so good! Crash cymbals are my favourite cymbals and the 19" K dark crash is the ultimate crash cymbal. I also adore the 22 K light ride because of its amazing ability to crash and ride.
