Half-time and ballads
Half-time: the snare on 3 only, and the drop into it from a full-time beat. Then the ballad: a cross-stick verse that opens to a half-time chorus. By day 7 you play Half-Time Pocket at 76 and a pop ballad start to finish. 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.
