Single-stroke speed
Eleven days on the singles. The last day is Singles Cascade, then made your own. Treat it as a map for weeks of work: stay on a day until it holds. Some drills are written for a china; a crash works. A song to play along with every day (four 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.
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.
