I really am happy that i found this site I really am happy that i found this sight. The production of the lessons is great, tons of info and lots of instructors. The best for myself as a beginner is that the learning path for a new drummer is laid out in a concise manner. I have found that with many internet learning sights, there is so much information available but it is very easy to get side tracked and overwhelmed so I appreciate the measured, clear presentation. I am making more progress with Drum Beats than I expected. Thanks to everyone involved. Joe Dain

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.

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!!

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.
