Chops foundations: sixes in triplet time
The six-stroke roll before it gets fast: back to back from one hand in sixteenths, sextuplets and triplets, then from the other; fills round the toms in each grid, and the Six-Stroke Groove over a gospel shuffle to finish. A song to play along with every day (two tracks).

This path is self-guided practice: each day you work against a reference the app plays and judge your own progress. DrumShed does not listen to your playing, score your accuracy, or measure your timing. Enrolling is an All Access feature ($5.99/mo, or lifetime with Founding Member); free members can browse the whole plan in the app first.
