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!!

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!!

DBO ROCKS! Gabe is easily the best drum teacher ever! He genuinely cares about his students progression around the kit which has pushed me to become the drummer I am today. His courses are fun, entertaining, and encourage you to complete lesson after lesson to climb DBO Academy and become a master drummer. The program is at such an affordable price as well. Over my 2 years of being a part of this, I have absolutely zero complaints. Thanks Gabe!

DBO Academy breeds Master Drummers!! DBO Academy is amazing!! The courses are full of information and very easy to follow. The community forums and peer support available are very helpful and really make me feel like there are other out there who genuinely care if I succeed. DBO is for drummers of EVERY level. I have never seen any other courses or private lessons even come close to this level of detail, course guidance, progression and support. If you're even slightly curious about drumming, join DBO Academy.

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.
