There is no shortage of online content which can easily bombard and drown learning musicians. A click-through YouTube delivers a lifetime's worth of entertaining but unstructured content which can frustrate those looking for a systematic way to improve their musicality. DBO is exactly the answer to this. It provides a range of lessons designed to help you grow in a progressive and structured way. I started learning drums with DBO from picking up the sticks for the first time to now growing in confidence and competency. There's a lot of the drumming journey ahead but I'm glad to be part of the group because I know there's a path that will help me continue to improve and not get lost in the weeds.

DBO Academy is the best choice for learning drums online. I use to struggle with confidence and creativity behind the drum set. But I progressed and learned so much. The community and Gabe and the DBO team are there to encourage and help you if you're ever stuck. I recommend DBO Academy to any one who is trying to learn drums. I highly recommend 10 out of 10.

Due to my co-ordination skills, I was very hesitant to sign up, but thought I would give DBO Academy a try as I have always wanted to play. I must say that after having been a member for a month and a complete beginner at the age of 57, I have been blown away by the way Gabe has put together an easy to follow, fun and effective learning program that has actually got me to make some fairly good sounding "noise" in just 30 days. I am excited to continue having fun and see where all of this leads ... I would definitely recommend signing up - well worth the spend so far :-) Thanks Gabe

I am in my 50s and have always wanted to learn how to play drums. I sing in a band and am always keeping the beat, slapping my hand on my thigh. I play air drums when I am listening to music. But I never knew how to actually play. So I took a chance on a monthly subscription to DBO. Totally awesome. I am total awful and have a short attention span and the 6-minute long beginner lessons are right up my alley. Beginning to learn anything new is hard. But Gabe gives you such encouragement. I just signed on for a full year.

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.

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

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
