Jonathan Syverson (born August 21, 1980, in Wrentham, Massachusetts) is an American musician, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, best known as the drummer of the mathcore band Daughters[1] from 2002 to present. He has also handled drumming duties for As The Sun Sets, and The Color of Violence. Recently Jon also joined up with another Providence band called Snowbird. Snowbird, has Jon on drums along with another drummer Steve Murphy

He was the main songwriter for As The Sun Sets and would often record guitars or bass in the studio for technical parts that he had written. When As The Sun Sets disbanded in 2002, he formed Daughters with long-time friend and band mate Alexis S.F. Marshall and Jeremy Wabiszczewicz and was at first the main songwriters for that band. Daughters then recruited Nicholas Andrew Sadler to play guitar and share song writing duties with Jon. Jon and Nicholas had both been guitar players (with Jon later taking over drum duties) in the Providence, Rhode Island based band Crippler Crossface which Nicholas joined when he was 15 years old. Crippler Crossface also featured Alexis S.F. Marshall as vocalist. For a brief period during his days as drummer for As The Sun Sets he also played guitar in a band with Mark Castillo of Bury Your Dead.

He has many projects and bands that are still currently active touring, writing music or doing studio work. He was asked in 2008 to record drums for The Color of Violence featuring two current members of From First to Last; drummer Derek Bloom and guitarist/backup vocalist Travis Richter. No word as to whether Jon will play drums in a live setting with TCOV and no shows have been announced.
