DBO Academy has been an inviting and personal experience. If you're struggling with something it doesn't take long to find solutions throughout the course material, administrators or other members
By Dave D.
Using DBO has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Gabe is amazing at teaching the drums. He has a perfectly setup lesson plan that teaches you what you need to know when you need to know it! The beat mapper tool is also amazing as it helps so much when you need to hear what a groove, beat, fill, and anything else should sound like! 10/10 best drum lessons online!

I love the DBO Academy! It helps me to make progress and it's a lot of fun. The lessons are very helpful and not too difficult, so you you feel, that you really progress.

Joined up after a free week of lessons. The lessons are structured and organized as well as personalized for the student. Instructors are excellent. Gabe does a great job of keeping me inspired and wanting to learn more. Seeing huge gains in only a month. The group setting allows you to learn from others as well.

DBO Academy has been great for me! I recently got interested in playing drums and bought a practice pad and some sticks. I came across Gabe and DBO on YouTube and tried some sample lessons and really was impressed! Gabe has laid out several courses for all levels of players that guide you through the learning process step by step and gives you simple grooves and fills to start with and songs to play along with at your level. I've gradually increased my skills and greatly increased how much i enjoy playing. Thanks, Gabe!

I signed up for Drum Beats Online after ending in-person lessons a few months ago. I was looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space to clean up my technique and learn new skills; I gained the above and so much more. Gabe and his wonderful team of professional drummers are methodical and patient in their teachings and explanations. They care about every single one of their students in the DBO community. The affordable tuition is definitely one of the main reasons I signed up for DBO Academy. But the daily encouragement and personalized attention to help me meet my drumming goals: priceless. Thank you Gabe and DBO Team for everything. Every day, I look forward to play drums, cement my skills, learn new skills, and challenge myself to be a more disciplined and dedicated drummer.
