The saying usually is: Born to the beat of a "differant" drum.

It is from a marching image - when people march they must follow the beat of the drum or they will get out of step with the others.

When someone says "beat of a different drum" it means you are an individual who does not automatically follow what the majority does. It is usually a compliment.
