Flams

Nine days on the flams. The last day is Flam Punch, then made your own. A song to play along with every day (three 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.

The plan

  1. Day1

    Find your level

    Before the climb: a short check-in, played honestly, sets your starting tempo. Run the skill check-in from this day — it records the tempo you start from.
