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.

Honestly very polite and courteous… Honestly very polite and courteous teacher. Want to share all his knowledge with us in very nice way and completely professional. Teaching maybe more that we need but this is on us how much we want, he gave more than 100% for us and deserve best learners who will proudly represent him! Only advice from me please make an application for phone and tablet, it would be too easier to navigate and using than with browser and website. All the best from me!

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

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!!
