— Practice Path

Hand-Foot fives I

Three hands and two kicks: a five that starts one sixteenth later every time round, on the snare first, then as fills round the toms and as grooves on the toms and the hats, ending on the groove and an orchestrated fill at 96. 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.
