Jazz foundations: the ride, the chick, the waltz
Jazz time with nothing added: the ride, the hi-hat foot closing on 2 and 4 (the chick), the swung ride pattern, and the jazz waltz. By day 5 you play the waltz at 96 with the click gone for a bar at a time. A song to play along with every day (three 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.
