13 records. One band.
Three of them with Gang of Four, the one band Jon was ever a member of — 2013 to 2019. The rest as a session drummer, brought in to play on someone else’s record, from Deep Purple’s Ian Gillan and Don Airey to HOTEI in Tokyo.
Credited honestly, down to the track.
One band, and it’s Gang of Four
Jon was a full member of Gang of Four from 2013 to 2019, across three records. It’s the only band on this list he was ever a member of.
Everything else is session work
On the other 10 albums Jon played on the record as a session drummer. He wasn’t a member of those bands, and doesn’t claim to have been.
Not every track, every time
Session records share the work around, so Jon plays on selected tracks rather than all of them. The performances he’s confirmed are listed below — those are the ones to hear.
The tracks that are definitely him.
12 performances Jon has confirmed, playable here as the finished record — not a demo and not a showreel edit. Where there’s footage of the performance too, there’s a link to watch it.
