Jon Larsen (born 13 July 1970) is a Danish musician, best known as the drummer for the rock band Volbeat.[1] Larsen joined Volbeat after playing drums for several other bands.[2] The Volbeat band was established by Michael Poulsen in October 2001 and was based on his former group, Dominus.[3] Poulsen mobilized various musicians for the group, including Thomas Bredahl, Anders Kjolholm, and Jon Larsen.[4] Volbeat’s success grew gradually, as they gained fame internationally, mainly in Europe and America. Larsen has described the Volbeat brand of music as a fusion of genres, with a dynamic beat that fuses elements of rock and roll with heavy metal. He has also explained that the band’s choice of music is not restricted to a particular genre. In interviews, Larsen has said that their music is based on real-life experiences and is their artistic interpretation of everyday life stories.
