DBO Academy is number 1!! So Ive been a member of DBO academy for just over a month now. Ill start by saying I couldnt be happier. Ive already learned and grown so much. Gabes lessons are straight forward and well done. Learning at your own pace is great too. And the whole community is very supportive and always willing to help you out with different ideas and perspectives. And since everyone is on the same level as you or has already gone through the same lesson they really know what they are talking about. Getting through each lesson and being able to mark it as complete is already rewarding enough, but theres a point system in place as well so you can see how youre doing along with everyone else. And you might even win a prize if you really buckle down and get through your lessons. I was hesitant at first so I just went with the month to month just to check it out. But now Im all in and cant wait to continue. If youre on the fence it is 110% worth it. So what are you waiting for? Join and get to bangin them drums! #keeppushingforward

DBO and Gabe are the best! By far my fav online drum lessons. Gabe has a great personality and easy to understand what he is trying to teach. I love the setup, the video quality and the community. People are quick to say hello and offer help or encouragement. I have tried other online drum schools and this is one that def fits every thing I’m looking for

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.

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!
