Young Ethan Ventresca is drummer in the band Jester, a group arranged through the School of Rock in Rocky River, Ohio. His band consists of schoolmates and teachers.
At the age of five, Ethan Ventresca became a viral youtube hit covering Led Zeppelin's classic Rock and Roll.
His teacher, Dan Price, describes Ethan Ventresca's abilities as "rare," noting Ethan was able to master Rock and Roll in a few months: "He’s a sponge, he picks up just about everything I throw at him. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a 5-year-old so sharp and focused. He really loves the instrument, and is really dedicated."
As a musician, the young rocker gravitated towards the drums, receiving his first official kit from Santa Claus at the age of three. Ethan Ventresca's currently working off set number three, and, along with weekly private lessons at the music school, bangs away two to three hours a day at home.
In September 2012, Ethan Ventresca joined the local Cleveland band Shout for a live gig, performing Stevie Wonder’s Superstition and Journey’s Any Way You Want It.
