Paradiddle
The single paradiddle at sixteenths: flat, then accented, then as a fill, as a groove between hats and snare, and as the time on the hats. A song to play along with every day (one track).

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.
