Rolls with an ending: the five-stroke
The five-stroke roll: two doubles and an accented single to end it, from either hand. By day 5 you play it as a pickup into a crash and as a one-bar fill from both hands at 80. 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.
