I made every single one of these mistakes except quitting. I still feel like a beginner, but the progress i have made because of DBO academy makes me feel like I have the potential to be a great drummer

A beginner stage is definitely the most important stage in the drummer's journey, as it really makes or breaks your desire to keep going! Awesome work!

[Devon]

I’m not a beginner but I still like to watch videos like this to make sure I’m not over confident and missing something. Interestingly enough the beat that you challenged us with was a huge breakthrough for me in my drumming. It’s the first beat that taught me to separate my foot from always having to hit with my right hand. Took me awhile to get but I remember my drumming really opening up after that.

I really appreciate the succinctness of these tips, it really shows his professionalism and planning, instead of just winging it. 10 mistakes in under 10 minutes! I felt enlightened not exasperated after watching this.

Drumming has honestly changed my life. Ive been playing for 2 years and it's amazing how I've changed. Before I started I felt stressed like crazy. Now drums is my #1 stress reliever!

Nice! I've been playing drums for 53 years and this young man knows what he is talking about. I am now a better drummer than I was even a year ago- it takes practice and patience. I have played thousands of gigs, but you never stop the pursuit of getting better. Recently, I have attempted to learn the Zep tune "Ramble On." Phew, this thing is tough, but I estimate I'm about two weeks from nailing it. I can't wait to premier for my jamming buddies! Don't

I’ve been playing for about 25 years and you’re one of the best teachers dude. Mike Johnston was my GOAT back in 2007 but I’m so thankful that so many other amazing drummers put out content like this. Thank you so much and blessings to you bro!

One of the first things I did when I started playing drum, was playing with my musical friends. They roasted the shit out of me and pointed out every flaw in my playing. But in the long run it helped me develop as musician.

Consistently great advice Gabe. Even as a touring drummer myself, it's always good to take a step back and make sure the foundation is there. Keep it up 🤘

I agree 💯 w/ playing as much as you can w/ as many different musicians as possible, even if your musical preferences differ. Also something that really helped me coming up, was I first played a 3piece meaning bass, snare, & a hit. Used the hat opened as my crash, until I could afford to buy a crash, & so on & so on, piece by piece, & it helped so much because it made me appreciate each addition to my arsenal of weapons, that was slowly built, piece by piece giving me that much more time to understand how it worked alone & also how it worked when added to all of the other piece's. Understanding the mechanics, especially individually, have given me that much more apprication, allowing me to realize it's truly priceless.🥁🥁🥁

I started out in life playing snare in my middle school band…gave it all up when I picked up a guitar in high school, 35 years later (still a guitarist) I just bought my first kit. So the learning curve begins again, but soooo looking forward to being able to lay down my own grooves.

[socialstudy]

I remember my second day playing (been playing for 1 year) i woke up the next morning after practicing for about 30 minutes the night before, i said to myself “i hate this this isn’t fun, why am i doing this?” i decided to ignore my feelings and push through it, and that was the best decision i made. it’s been quite a journey and i can surely say drumming has a special place in my heart forever now, I’m glad i never give up.

[keeptalking]

I just started drumming three Weeks ago and I'm actually more a guitarist but I wanted to try something different. So I bought a e drum kit as otherwise my neighbours are going to burn my house and keep going.
Now meanwhile i can play some of Gabe's 20 must know beats and today I sat 4 hours behind my kit with toxicity from SOAD (I know it sounds ridiculous to start with this song after three weeks, but I love this song). Now my ass and arms are burning but I know it is worth it....
Your videos are a great help for me and inspire me to move on and gives some good tips for practicing...

Whatever, thanks a lot for your work and videos.

Cheers!

A weird way of how I started, I would watch so many drum covers (as I already played guitar) and I always would visualize playing drums, and I happen to see tips everywhere from all the drummer channels like this one or Wyatt Stav, and I would do a nerdy air drum type thing, then maybe a year later, I got a drum set and I really feel like I moved through the beginner stage way faster due to all those things. Uhhh and thank you for reading my story

[stepanbarty]

I've been drumming very actively for over 10 years, and still watched the whole video. It's really well done, and it's always good to make sure I haven't missed something on my drumming journey.
Thank you for the video!

Man, countless times I have given up and thought “Damn, I’ll never be like Dave Grohl, or John Bonham.” But I’ve learned you have to work your way up. It takes years to get to their level.

[drumerslayer]

Playing the drums is indeed a journey... And I love it, 9 years of playing and rocking out...

[jakehughes]

My biggest mistake was not working on the fundamentals. I immediately started with my youth church band and it helped me jail well with other musicians, but it caused some crutches and got me stagnant. I know you’re a busy guy(Gabe) but it would totally be awesome if you made a cymbal pack with meinl. All of your cymbals are great together and it would be super cool if you could figure that out. I totally love your drumming and I appreciate how clean and respectful you keep it. Totally the friendliest and most helpful channel for drummers!

4:55 OOOOH That was painful the first time I did that...
