You practice. You put in the time. But something isn't clicking.

You sit down behind the kit, run through a fill or a groove, and somewhere in the back of your mind there's this voice asking: "Is this even the right thing to be working on?"

You've watched the YouTube videos. You've tried the Reddit recommendations. Maybe you've even bought a course or two. But none of it was built for you. None of it looked at YOUR playing and said, "Here. This is the thing. Fix this and everything else starts to open up."

So you keep practicing in circles. You get a little better at stuff you were already decent at. And the stuff that actually needs attention? You don't even know what it is. How could you? Nobody's watching.

That's the part that quietly eats at you. Not that you're lazy. Not that you don't care. You care more than most. But you're doing this alone, and alone means guessing. And guessing means months go by where you feel like you're running on a treadmill.

You don't need more motivation. You don't need another playlist of disconnected drum videos. You need someone who knows what they're doing to look at your playing and tell you the truth.

That's exactly what DBO Drum Circle exists to do.

dbo Drum Circle: Live Guidance From a Pro Drummer Who Actually Watches You Play

This is not a course you watch alone.

This is a coaching program where your playing gets seen, assessed, and responded to by a professional drummer every single month.​



Here's what that looks like inside:

Monthly Private Lesson With Your Coach

A one hour lesson each month for you to get live feedback, ask questions, and learn the necessary corrections to make some serious progress.

Value $120

Live Group Coaching Calls

Up to 4 live group calls where you get on a live call to ask questions, get real-time feedback on your playing, and hear coaching that applies directly to what you're working on. This is the closest thing to having a pro drummer in the room with you.

Value $400

A Personalized Practice Roadmap

You'll always know what to practice and why. Your roadmap evolves with you each month based on your submissions and progress, so you're never stuck wondering what comes next.

Value $100

Tailored DBO Academy Experience

Not only do you have access to all of DBO Academy, but you get a course path specific to you. No more wondering what to work on, when to move on to the next lesson, etc., your coach will give you the clarity you’ve been searching for.

Value $100

A Small Private Community of Serious Drummers

You're not joining a faceless group of thousands. This is a tight room of drummers who are all putting in the work, submitting videos, and pushing each other forward.

Priceless

This Is for Drummers Who Are Tired of Practicing Alone and Never Knowing If They're on the Right Track

This is for you if…

  • You practice, but you have no idea if you're working on the right things, and it's starting to frustrate you.
  • You want a pro drummer to actually watch your playing and tell you what to fix, not just hand you a library of videos and wish you luck.
  • You're done piecing together random YouTube lessons and want a clear, personalized plan that evolves with your progress every month.
  • You're ready to be coached, which means submitting videos, showing up to calls, and doing the work between sessions.

Skip this cohort if…

  • You're already satisfied with your current level of drumming and overall progress.
  • You're looking for a self-paced course you can passively watch whenever you feel like it.
  • You're not willing to record yourself playing and submit it for honest feedback.
  • You want to stay comfortable and only practice what you're already good at.
  • You're after quick tricks and flashy fills rather than building real, lasting progress on the kit.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS​

What if I'm a beginner?

If you can hold a basic groove and you're willing to submit videos of your playing, you're ready. This program meets you where you are.​

What if I can't make every live call?

All calls are recorded and available to rewatch. You'll still get your personal video feedback regardless of attendance.​

How is this different from a course?

A course gives you content. Drum Circle gives you a pro drummer who watches your playing, tells you what to work on, and adjusts your plan every month. The difference is live feedback vs. learning alone.​

How long is the program?

As long as you need. It's a monthly program and there's no minimum commitment - you can cancel at any time.

Meet your instructor

Great to meet you! I'm Kirk, and I'm stoked to have you here inside DBO.

I'm from Cleveland, OH, and I've been behind the drums for over 20 years - specializing in rock and prog genres. I gig consistently in my hometown with several cover bands, as well as an original progressive metal project.

I studied Audio Engineering in college, and afterward built a full-production drum studio in my home - which serves as my base of operations for recording music, teaching students, and filming content for my online presence, Kirk Baglia Drums.

When I'm not at the kit, you can likely find me in the gym, in the woods, or in the kitchen trying out Italian pasta recipes.


​My mission is to help as many drummers as possible to develop their skills on and off the kit, so they're empowered to share their art with the world!

 

TRUSTED BY DRUMMERS​
