The shuffle
The shuffle, with every limb swinging together. You start on the plain long-short, add the kick on the skip note and a ghost in the middle, play the same swing in sixteenths, and by day 7 you play a two-bar ride shuffle at 92 with fills that keep the swing. 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.
