— Practice Path

Hand-Foot fives II

Four hands and a kick: a five that leans across the beat, on the snare first, then as fills round the toms and as grooves, ending on a four-bar groove and an orchestrated fill at 96, then two days on the cell in triplets and a bonus day on the pocket: the backbeat played behind the beat on purpose. A song to play along with every day (four 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.
