Hip-hop: trap and the half-time pocket
Half-time hip-hop: the snare on 3, a kick pushed onto the 'and' of 2, and sixteenth-note hat rolls with the hands alternating. A roll fill, one day with the hats swung, and by day 5 a two-bar trap beat at 80 with three rolls in it. 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.
