Gabe is THE MAN! It's rare to connect with someone so passionate about teaching drums, let alone a literal rockstar who is accessible, responsive, and dedicated to supporting me. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.

Fantastic website. I prefer DBO over other lesson sites like Drumeo any day. Same variety of content, but I feel DBO has better advantages and is easier to use. I've only been on here for a week but with the amount of lessons I did, I feel more confident than I did. I learned so many good warm-ups to practice, new fills, etc. Join if you're thinking about it!

My Experience With The DBO Academy is AWESOME!

Hi. I love taking lessons this way. I’m just not sure since I’m doing the beginner lessons I switch back-and-forth from different beginner lessons. Should I do this or just stay with each lesson until I feel like almost mastered it?

DBO academy is more than just online lessons, its a family. I started my drumming journey 9 months ago with absolutely zero experience. Since then I have grown from a beginner to an intermediate drummer and feel so much more comfortable behind the kit. Gabe is an incredible drummer, and an even more incredible human being. He really makes all of us here at DBO feel at home.

Absolutely brilliantly constructed site from your first point of contact. Really well thought through. One of the best features is that you are assessed, grouped and then given a syllabus. The content is articulate, well constructed and engaging. Best of all, send email and Gabe actually responds. You really feel part of a group. Worth twice the price.
