“I have been a student with Jared for several years now and I have loved it! Not only is he an incredible drummer who is passionate for the art, but it also somebody who cares on a personal level with his students. I am so grateful to have such a great teacher.”

- Daniel Sirka
“We had worked with three different drum teachers before finding Jared. I never felt like my son was actually learning much with his previous teachers. Once I saw how quickly my son started progressing under Jared’s guidance, I knew this was going to become a long-standing relationship.”

- Adriana Sanguily
“Jared is an amazing teacher! I have been taking lessons for 4 years (I think) and have always had fun while learning how to play and increase my skill! 10/10 would recommend :3.”

- Zoe Kossum
“Jared is a fantastic instructor. He is so encouraging. His library of videos makes guiding my son through practice at home so much easier. He is simply one of the best!.”

- Ileana Osburn
"Hands down my favorite 30 minutes of every week! I like that Jared always greets me with a smile and has ‘jam out’ sessions at the end of my lesson."

- Dax Wright
"Mr. Jared is a very talented and professional drum teacher. Our son has been taking drum classes with him for almost three years, since he was 7. Jared is very kind, patient, and encouraging. Our son says, 'I wish Mr. Jared be my drum teacher forever!'"

- Rajeev Kaimal
"Jared's been my instructor for several years now, he's an awesome teacher! He really knows his stuff and always makes lessons fun."

- Elliot Bisesto
"I can recommend Jared Chontos drum lessons without reservation! Jared is a talented drummer and patient teacher who imparts to his students a love for and enjoyment of drumming. I am convinced that drummers of any age and experience level will benefit from his instruction and influence just as I have. Time to level up!"

- Howard Shirley
"Jared is such a great instructor! I love how he will walk you through every little beat you need in a song! He doesn’t only teach people how to play drums but really loves and cares for his students!"

- Porter Montgomery
"Jared is a wonderful, knowledgeable and kind instructor. He has been so patient and encouraging teaching my 7 year old drums. My son adores him. He is communicative about what is covered during lessons and we always know what to practice at home. He provides ample material to use from home and even provides streamed lessons. If you’re considering going to Jared for lessons, I highly recommend him!"

- Stephanie Novak
"Jared is a fantastic instructor! He knows his stuff and is patient and very professional. I flew all the way from Florida to take a week of lessons with him. Very impressed with his knowledge of the instrument, playing ability, organization, and teaching method. I will be back again!"

- Tripp Champion
"Jared is an amazing instructor. He is extremely talented AND has the unique ability to translate that talent into teaching. He always has a way or method to ensure you understand and grasp what he is teaching, while not making you feel inadequate or pressured, no matter your age or experience level. His love for drums and his personality is contagious. I am truly unsure who was more excited during my progress, me or Jared! That type of passion cannot be matched. I personally do not believe there is a better drum instructor out there! As great a drummer and teacher that he is, you will find him to be an even better person."

- Dale Schaefer
"Jared is great. He is very professional and the nicest guy! My kid loves him and has made great progress very quickly."

- Jennifer Hall
"Jared was the perfect fit for my beginning drummer. He grew my son's drumming skills, built his musical confidence, and provided a variety of experiences from lessons to drum camps to recitals. His knowledge and expertise provided a solid technical foundation and yet he also followed my son's musical taste and song requests. You won't find a more qualified or encouraging drum teacher for any ages or skill level."

- Laura Stiller
"Excellent Teacher. Knows his stuff and can teach from beginner to expert."

- Ryan Bray
"Our son has been taking drum lessons from Jared for several months and have thoroughly enjoyed watching him learn, improve and thrive! He has gained so much confidence by being encouraged and taught by someone who genuinely loves people and playing the drums. Jared is so talented and always has a fun approach to new techniques he teaches. If you are considering drum lessons, start with Chontos Drum Lessons because the first lesson is free and he has several flexible (in-home, Skype and in-studio) options. And if you are wondering, no you do not need to have a drum set at home to learn to play well. You will love drum lessons with Jared!"

- Bryan Vaselka
"Mr. Chontos is a really great teacher who is very talented in so many ways. He has helped me overcome many things including stage freight. I have learned so much in just one year and hope to have many more awesome years rocking out with Mr. Chontos."

- Max Confer
"Jared is awesome! Very technically proficient, but also really knows how to talk to kids and get them excited. My son LOVES his drum lessons! 5 stars for sure!"

- Jaxie Alt
"Our 6th grade son took lessons from Jared in preparation for percussion auditions in our school district. We were so impressed! Our son LOVED his lessons. The lessons were focused and fun. Jared is patient and warm instantly putting our son at ease and making this a super fun experience! We will definitely be back for more! Can’t recommend highly enough."

- Kristen Horton
"Jared is a positive, passionate teacher. My daughter is not only learning but enjoying it!"

- Dawn Baker
"Mr. Chontos is an amazing teacher! I have learned so much in the past few years of doing his lessons! He always encourages me to learn new things on the drums, and pushes me to do my best!"

- Savannah Foster
"I have really enjoyed taking lessons from Jared. I have played percussion for several years but never learned to play on a drumset... until now! Jared is skilled, helpful, and cheerful. He graciously provides constructive criticism. He has been flexible with lessons times which has been very helpful for my somewhat busy/variable schedule. I would highly recommend him.

- Pradeep Shenoy
"Our son LOVES taking drum lessons from Jared. Jared is extremely talented and patient, which makes him a fantastic instructor. His passion for music is contagious and we are so thrilled to get to experience that passion every week! If you or your child is considering lessons, take advantage of Jared's free lesson and give it a try. I think you will be hooked!!"

- Keri Wilson
"Super experienced and friendly guy! I’ve been drumming for 6 years and he is light years beyond me but one of the most humble teachers I’ve met. He is patient enough to teach starters and intermediate (like me). I would recommend 10/10."

- Chris Roman
