Funk: anticipation, pocket, displacement
The funk kick in front of the beat, the backbeat laid back in the pocket, the snare displaced and the open-hat bark: eight grooves in five days, a map to keep working from, ending on a study that shifts one groove four ways and a simplified Funky Drummer. 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.
