My son has been taking drum lessons from Chip for about a year and half, and has gone from being a total beginner to playing a show and having a blast rockin' out! Chip really taps into what songs the student wants to learn to make it fun.

Chip is not only an amazing drummer, but also an incredible educator. I’ve had many instructors that are amazing players, but not very good instructors. Chip has a gift to be able to not only play well, but also to teach well. I cannot recommend his instruction highly enough. 5 stars is about 95 too little.

Chip has a been a great drum instructor for my 10 year old son. As a guitar instructor myself, I can appreciate the way Chip gradually introduces techniques, ideas and exercises that build on one other. My son looks forward to every lesson.

Our son has been learning from Chip for over 2 years.  His growth and passion for drums has never been higher and it's all due to Chip.  He caters what he teaches to what the student is interested in learning (once the basics are covered). … More

I've been doing lessons with Chip for three weeks now and I can say he is one of my favorite teachers yet for any instrument I've played. I've had around 4 other music teachers in my life and he is by far my favorite of them. He is very … More

Chip is a very talented drummer who is passionate about sharing his love of music with others. He is an encouraging and patient drum teacher. My son has been taking lessons with him for a few years and has fallen even more in love with the drums and has so much fun during his lessons. Chip allows him to bring songs he wants to learn while also incorporating theory that will help him be able to play more songs. They’ve played jazz, rock, reggae, worship songs,… He has been flexible and able to work with our schedule and make up lessons when able. It has been fun to see my son grow and progress as a drummer under Chip’s tutelage.

Chip Ritter is a fantastic drum instructor! My son started taking drum set lessons from him just a few months ago, and he is already playing along to his favorite songs. Chip is so patient, kind, encouraging and professional. My son looks forward to his lessons each week and I do too! He is dependable and a great communicator and the cost is very reasonable for such a talented drum instructor. Highly recommend!
