Information
D-Beat Academy is a youth-centered drumming school built specifically for students ages 8–14. We focus on making music education fun, relatable, and impactful for younger learners. Our mission is to help students build strong drumming skills while also growing in confidence, creativity, and discipline. What makes D-Beat different is our approach — we believe in the motto “By Us, For Us,” meaning the academy was created by a young drummer for kids and teens who want to learn in a space that understands them. The environment is encouraging, high-energy, and tailored to how young people actually learn best.
We offer a variety of courses that meet students at different skill levels, from absolute beginners learning stick control and rhythm basics, to more advanced lessons on full drum sets, Christian worship music, and live performance prep. Students can choose between group classes and private 1-on-1 sessions, depending on their learning style and goals. All classes are rooted in positive values, clean content, and a faith-based foundation. Sessions are held twice a week with flexible scheduling to fit both student and parent availability. Whether your child is looking to start fresh or level up their drumming, D-Beat Academy is a place where they can grow, belong, and be heard.

"By Us, For Us"
“By Us, For Us” is more than just a motto at D-Beat Academy—it’s what makes us different. This program was built by a young drummer for other young people, creating a space where students are taught by someone who understands their energy, mindset, and how they learn best. Instead of being taught by distant instructors, students get real, relatable guidance from someone who’s been in their shoes. It’s about making music education feel personal, relevant, and empowering. At D-Beat Academy, we’re not just teaching drums—we’re building confidence, creativity, and leadership through rhythm, for the next generation.
