Drumline warm-ups I: eights, accent tap, double beat, bucks, the grids
The warm-ups a snare line plays, on the pad: eights, accent tap, the double beat and the triple beat, bucks, the paradiddle builder and the paradiddle flow, the triplet diddle, and the 3-grid and 4-grid. Each grid then goes onto the kit, as a groove with the accent moving and as a fill around the drums. 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.
