The Academy

Taught by a drummer who still practices like a student.

Caleb's Drum Academy started in a bedroom studio with a hybrid acoustic-electronic kit and a webcam — and grew one referral at a time. Every lesson is built around the same idea: rhythm is a skill, not a talent, and it comes from repetition, feedback, and songs you're excited to play.

Whether your student is six years old and holding sticks for the first time, or you're an adult picking the kit back up after years away, lessons are shaped around where you are right now — not a fixed curriculum everyone has to fit into.

Personalized plansEvery student gets a practice plan built for their goals
Flexible schedulingEvening & weekend slots, in-studio or online
Real songs, fastYou'll be playing along to full tracks within weeks
Patient with beginnersNo experience needed — just curiosity and a pair of sticks

Reviews

What students & parents say.

My son went from not knowing how to hold sticks to playing full songs in under two months. Caleb is patient and actually fun to be around — my son asks to practice now.

Renee T.Parent, Foundations Track

I picked drums back up at 34 after fifteen years off. Caleb never made me feel behind — he just met me where I was and built from there. Best decision I've made this year.

Marcus D.Adult Student, Groove Builder

I was already gigging but stuck in my own habits. Caleb's chart-reading and odd-meter drills got me through my first paid function audition in six weeks.
