DBO Academy is bar far the best DBO Academy is by far the best on line drum instruction. Very well explained lesson content with demonstrations in the lesson at different tempos and a target tempo to shoot for to be very familiar with the grooves or rudiment. Lessons are for beginner to advanced. Everyone will learn from the classes. Excellent staff with great feedback to help keep you motivated. I highly recommend DBO Academy.

Literally amazing. Worth every penny and more. Such a well thought-out, comprehensive, easy-to-follow, engaging, and all around fun course! Gabe has done such a great job with his program, and I hope more people follow suit on other instruments!!

Very nice team of people! Very nice team of people! Also, for the first time in my life, i have the feeling i'm growing faster as a drummer now. I can really recommend following drumming lessons with these guys!

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR… I've been on my drumming journey for 18months now from never picking up a stick. I love the site, the lessons are constructive and well organised from the videos of the kit with gabe playing to the videos of the kick close up which is extremely helpful. Plus you have speed control also. If you ever have a problem there is the community to help answer or alternatively one of the the coordinators as in gabe or shaya, who respond always very quickly. The beat machine is great for listening to beats away from the kit b4 playing as well as the song learning section which is seriously phenomenal, and the library keeps growing. I could go on there is so much more from the persoal journal to keep track, to the shows, etc...but what I'd like to say is that for the investment in DBO in comparison to seeing a drum teacher in person, the time and money spent back and forward, doesn't compare. I can access DBO 24/7 and play new beats fills and tunes whenever I want, and that my friend is unreal when you live in the remote north west of Tasmania. If you haven't already, do yourself a favour and take the plunge and join DBO, if you're keen you won't regret it!!

Drumming as Play I like that the lessons are laid out day by day over a month's time and that you can return to them over and again. I think the explanations are good and I like that you perform a slow version and then a faster version. I also like the email links you have sent me with additional lessons. Thank you. I am an old man, so I still have some difficulty with the website (maneuvering around - I keep thinking I am going to delete something). I am at the end of the first month and I do not know how to post a video of my playing but that does not bother me. I was wondering if I could print out the music, but again, no big deal really. I wish now however that I would have bought a real drum-set instead of an electronic version. But the electronic version still works. I look forward to next months lessons.
