The way I do this is through DBO Academy. Where drummers are put on a success path of transformation that takes them from beginner - to a master drummer. All in a community of positivity, support, and inspiration! If you want to reach your full potential on the drum set, I would HIGHLY recommend joining DBO Academy!

[@mondragon9282]

DBO academy is worth every penny!! I was already a decent drummer before, but now I actually understand what it is I'm doing and I've been able to build off of all the new things I've learned. My drumming has improved like crazy over the last 7 months. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to learn and improve their skills!

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Dude you rock Mike! I'm so happy to have you in the #DBOFamily!

[@Gabeheckprod]

I LOVE YOUR NEW STUDIO

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

So glad you dig it!!

[@GlitchComputer]

This couldn't have come at a better time. Been so frustrated at the lack of progress but also procrastination from feeling constantly overwhelmed. SO MUCH TO LEARN/DISCOVER!! So you make some good points my dude!!

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

So happy I could help!

[@WhirlwindDrums]

I really respect this video One thing that got me out of a drum rut is set a new years resolution and stick to it. I know it sounds corny. But My resolution for 2020 was to play drums open handed and allow my left hand to work more. It was something I've been wanting to try but couldn't get my self comfortable with it. So my plan was that every time I get behind that drum set I would take 20 minutes to play basic beats/grooves and lead them with the left hand. In about three to four months, my left hand became more natural to playing drums left/open handed. on month 10 of playing open handed I start to get a good idea on how I can get creative with open handed playing. And just this month of December I made the biggest change and set up my drums in a way that allows me to play more freely and open, but also allow me to still crossover. Gabe if you are reading this. Thanks for inspiring many drummers including myself. You are very humble and helpful person that can help a drummer better their playing from new comers to veterans alike. I wish you great opportunities for 2021

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

This is amazing! Thank you for sharing!! 🙏🏽

[@andygiordano1072]

I played drums all through school and since 98' when I got my first drum set. Many bands and ups and downs, even a couple slumps like you've discussed. I feel like this is the right time to sign up and finally elevate my skills to where I always wish they were. Reminder is set and I'm anxiously awaiting the sign up. Thanks Gabe!

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Heck yes Andy! Can't wait to have you join the #DBOFamily!

Gabe, once again your video just put my drumming mind at ease. Thanks for this, it really helped my mindset when I practised today and I’m sure it will in the future as well!

I can confirm that DBO Academy is worth it imagine this lesson but like there are a ton more to choose from and a drummers forum for discussion and a cool calendar that shows you how much you practiced so you can be proud of it. That is DBO Academy it’s worth every cent and cheaper than private lessons

[@jaroslavjancula9303]

Hey Gabe, this is so cool and helpful...just one question...I play open-handed and I want to learn a "classic way to play" but everytime I try I get lost...no rythm, no groove, my brain is stuck, can not play a thing...don't you have some tips and tricks how to manage this? Thanks a lot. Greetings from Slovakia

[@andredeklerk10]

I always take your advice to heart. And try to incorporate it into my playing as much as possible...thank you for all the advice and guidance Gabe🙌🏽

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

It's truly my pleasure!

[@hermesokniknee7168]

Crikey, that’s why it’s nearly impossible to make any progress when you’re all over the effin’ charts practicing bits and pieces here and there. I’m living proof these last couple of months. I’ve been looking for a drum program with what I’ve checked out thus far on the site as a paying member appears to be almost precisely what DBO offers. So glad one of your videos appeared on my radar. There are some simple additions that I think would be a nice touch and would help motivate students drummers even more, but as I’m not a website developer of this caliber, I have no clue how complex it would be to make these simple additions. Dopamine is a great motivator.

[@zachlillemoen3729]

Do you have any videos on tips for writing drum parts for songs?

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

I do! Check this one out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIfadpabic92i7M

[@cameronjohnson5354]

I got in a really bad drum rut I used to be able to play over 200bpm double bass relaxed then drum rut hit and I couldn't go over 170bpm. I got out of drum rut by pushing through and taking small steps to get better and then my skill cam es back and even ssd's stronger than it wss, I knew it was drum rut because i saw your video on it thank you

[@mavrickloewen1543]

U should do a drum tuning video. I'm always struggling on that. I somehow got my 12" and 14" to sound pretty good but my 16" just won't tune:(

hi gave tell you the first thing that my English is horrible ... I have discovered you recently and the truth is that you seem very instructive in addition to pedagogical ... and playing beastly of course .. I follow you a lot in your videos and well, I have decided to continue learning with them and your wisdom. I am 49 years old with absolute passion for this instrument and I really want to learn and progress. I hope that with your lessons and my work so be. Can I ask you technical questions here or by mail? greetings from Spain (How well I write English with a translator ... XDDD)

[@jackson_corey2132]

[@muyiwaolorunda8189]

I love Mr Gabe because he makes things so easy

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

I'm so happy to hear that!

[@aaroncedola]

Look I been in bands I been on stage I been told I'm a good drummer I play mainly Ska but I also do drum cover of music. My problem is most drummer beats and fills are used in a lot of songs. The guitars and rythem kind of change it up. I feel like nickle back. What make a totally different beat that sticks out from the rest. What will make a beat that nobody ever heard of. What be away to stand out from the rest?

Thank you for this it is so helpful for me to improve

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Thanks for the support regardless my friend! I'm opening up 600 spots so I think there may be room for you! But of course, I'm glad you dig the KZbin content regardless!

I need your help lol, I want to become a great drummer and pursue my dream to be in touring band, not just for money or any other baggage, mainly to show my kids no matter what you can always pursue your dreams, and also I love the drums so much, I'm 28 so I started a little late, but I can know with the passion and drive I will make it to my goal

Honestly good advice in general. Don't try and do everything all at once, focus on one thing at a time.

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Thanks James!

[@drew_the_drummer]

Thanks man this is a great video and its important to make a plan and focus on getting somewhere that's specific. You nailed why drummers fall into ruts. Either is no goal or plan or they have lost direction and and are trying to learn the wrong things for that goal. I have been looking at my playing and have trying to pinpoint the things I am not doing that separates me from the "pros". Its hard sometimes to figure those things out but if you really look hard and think of the things you do over and over you will see what you've got and what you don't. keep up the great work.

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Great thoughts Drew! So glad this helped you!!

[@danielxdrumming]

YES I LOVE WHEN I WAKE UP TO OPEN UP KZbin AND ITS GABE WITH A NEW VIDEO

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Heck yes Daniel!

[@TedDyP0wer]

There actually are no secrets to drumming progress. If you can't nail the 'boom tshak boom tshak' (kick on 1 & 3, snare on 2 & 4) with various hi-hat patterns, 'perfect' balance and consistency in sound of every piece of the beat or when your double and single strokes are not even and tight (+alternating hand and between foot), you shouln't move on to chops, double bass metal, jazz etc. Get your default setting first. Then the rest.

[@TedDyP0wer]

But great video as always!

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

You are exactly right.That's why the DBO Drumming Path is so important, so that everything that you learn is building from one lesson to the next and you aren't moving on until you have foundations nailed down. What you described is a perfect example of why the "more more more" method is so dangerous!

Hey Carlos! DBO Academy is the cheapest online drum school out there. There are different prices depending on whether you want to go month to month, or go the annual option (which saves you even more). It starts at $24.95 a month, but if you don't see results in the first 30 days you get your money back!
