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!

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.

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!!

This course is awesome! Drum Beats Online is an awesome course and I’m extremely lucky to have found it. The lessons are terrific in that they range from day-one basics to extremely advanced techniques for all levels of drummers. I’ve received alot of compliments from friends who can’t believe that I’ve been playing drums for such a short period of time. Thanks a million Gabe!
