DBO Rocks!
Hi There,
DBO has been a fantastic experience. As a new member, the site is very well organized and is extremely easy to navigate. The sessions are very good, Gabe goes through the topic of the day and provides examples on how to play (or muscle build (-: ) the exercise. Gabe and the community are very good about responding to questions and comments. The curriculum flows very well. I entered at level 2 which was the right determination by the system, although I went back to 1 in between to get some more training. In addition to the more structured sessions Gabe has many 'one-off' lessons or mini-courses on various subjects. Full disclosure, I am a member of another drumming site but Gabe's site beats (pun intended!) the other. Simplicity, to the point and structure are the differentiating factors. For anyone considering a drumming online solution, this DBO is the best I've found. Only comment to add would be around songs. Not sure if I missed it or this or maybe could be looked at, would be great to have the ability to go through a song database with notation and explanation.

Stu’s Review
It’s been a great experience thus far. Your lessons are very easy to follow and you are a great teacher. In three months I completed the beginner phase and I am on the Coordination Conquest. I recently retired so I have had time to practice for 1 to 2 hours a day.
I really enjoy DBO Academy.

Gabe is the best!!
Gabe is the best teacher I've come across. He breaks things down into simple bite sized pieces, allowing you to fully digest the concepts. The quality of the lessons are outstanding and he interacts/ responds to every comment! Always extremely helpful. Definitely the best investment I've made in a long time!

Best Drum Lessons Ever
I was playing for about a year with no lesson, and I was pretty beginner, played fast and sloppy but thought i was good, and i started watching drum beats online on youtube, so i was like "oh, this seems like a good teacher" so i signed up, and i got it half a year later(by that time i hadn't made any progress, and i was kinda at a stopping point) and already off the bat almost a month in and im already making so much more progress, i can play a lot more cleaner now, i make better drumming videos, because whats cool about DBO is that it isn't ALL drumming lessons, like gabe has a course on making better drumming videos, getting endorsements, tips for touring etc. And he actually got me into I Prevail which is one of my favorite bands, overall i think joining DBO academy was my best move as a drummer so far ( I mean besides getting drums)
