2017 Grand Opening Festival Video
North Capitol Street Location

2017 Feature with DC's "202 Creates"

   7DC has been a second home and family for me. It is not only a place to practice and learn music, it is also a community that stems out into different events such as Flashband.
– Héctor C

   Their teachers don't just show you how to play drums, they share their passion for music with you and help you develop your own.

​   The 7DC team has effortlessly made me feel comfortable, assisted, and welcomed. It's very easy to book a room online and I enjoy the personal contact I have with my teacher and the managing staff.  
​- Gabriela

   7DC is a warm and welcoming place. Great community!
