Two feet alternating on the bass drum, slowly and evenly. You need a double pedal or two bass drums. By day 5 you play Kick Eighths Rock foot to foot at 100. 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.
