Rupp's Upbeat Drum School 2045 South Holly Street, Denver, CO 80222

"You couldn't ask for better teachers. Everyone at UpBeat is incredibly passionate about drumming and helping their students improve. The lessons are based on your goals and they will help you tremendously, whether you're an absolute beginner or an advanced drummer looking to challenge yourself. I'd prefer a slightly different tuition model (prepaid per-lesson instead of monthly) but it's not a big deal at all."

"There are not enough positive words to use when explaining how amazing Upbeat Drum School and phenomenal instructor Nikki Saiz, are. I have been taking weekly, hourly lessons since January 2021, and it's the highlight & most joyful time of my week. Nikki Saiz is a force and quite an accomplished musician. She's so down to earth, easy to talk to and learn from, that I wish could afford to double up on my lessons. This is by far, the best school I've found in Denver, period. I hope to be a student there for many years to come."

"I have been a student of Josh Beyers for over a year and could not be more pleased with my lessons and progress. In addition to Josh’s exemplary performance ability, he is able to customize my lessons to my specific needs. I play drums weekly in my church’s praise band. Anytime I have new music Josh is able to notate and workout the orchestrations. Since we play contemporary Christian music, it sounds as good as, if not better than, the professional recordings. I am so impressed with Josh’s instruction, I wish I could give him more than a five star rating."

"I have been a student of Josh Beyers for about two years and have enjoyed every minute of it. Josh is an excellent educator and all around good person. His lessons are well structured and engaging, combining learning fundamentals and learning the songs you're interested in playing. Through my lessons with Josh I have reached a point in my drumming I never thought I'd attain thanks in large part to Josh's attention to detail and positive attitude."

"I have been taking lessons for a year and half now and this school is incredible! Not only am I learning the fundamentals of drums in a very fun, accessible way, but I get to learn songs I love as well. The environment is friendly and welcoming for experienced and new drummers alike, and the gear available in the shop is high quality. Devon Rogers is the best drum teacher in Denver, easily, and because of his lessons, I'm able to play in bands confidently. Go to Rupps! Call them up and schedule some lessons!"
