REVIEWS
"Jonathan is the best personal drum teacher I've ever had, hands down. You can tell in his lessons that he's doing what he loves; he legitimately cares about the progression of the student."
-Arvin Banegas (student)
"After playing drums for 10 years without lessons, I came to Jonathan because I knew I needed help taking my playing to a professional level.
As someone who has always had trouble learning in classroom settings, I needed a teacher who was patient and easy to work with while offering personalized instruction at a pace I could understand.
I first saw [Him] play on tour with Civilian, and after one conversation with him, I knew he was the teacher I'd been waiting for all those years.
Jonathan Thomas is easily the most experienced and technically knowledgeable drummer I've met, and without a doubt one of the most creative live and session players in music today.
I came to him asking for help correcting bad habits I had picked up over the years, and ended up getting so much more. After just a few lessons, he revolutionized my creativity behind the kit while also helping me understand both basic and advanced techniques I had struggled with for years.
Whether you're brand new to music or a 20 year veteran, there's no doubt Jonathan Thomas can make you a better drummer and a better musician."
-Sage Duvall (student)
"I chose to work with Jonathan because I could hear from his playing he was not only proficient but especially disciplined. Even from our first lesson it was clear that he knows the craft at such a deep level that he can really hear exactly what elements of my playing need the most improvement and has a clear road map for making the biggest impact on my playing in the shortest and easiest way possible"
-Austin Caldwell (student)
"...Jonathan has been Andrew's instructor for the past two years. As good as we thought Andrew was, Jonathan has taught Andrew how to read music, a very disciplined strategy of practice, and has challenged him beyond my expectations...
...On a personal level, Jonathan represents what many of us in this world strive to be. A genuine, honest, kind, humble and giving human being. When I couple this aspect as a role model with the gift Jonathan has given my son Andrew musically, there is no one better!"
