— Practice Path

Hi-hat foot II: foot ostinatos

The hi-hat foot gets its own line — the ands, the tresillo, then 2, 4 and the and — under a ride groove that does not follow it, up to 104 on a groove where the foot plays a new line every bar, and then 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover. 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.
