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.
The plan
- Day1
Find your level
Before the climb: a short check-in, played honestly, sets your starting tempo. Run the skill check-in from this day — it records the tempo you start from.
