Sticking Coach

Pad practice that only speeds up when your hands stay loose.

Sticking Coach plans a short session each day, shows you every stroke, and moves the metronome up only after clean, relaxed rounds.

A single paradiddle as the player shows it: right and left in their own colors, accents marked, the current note filled.

How a day works

  1. 1

    Measure

    A 4-minute baseline finds the fastest tempo you can play clean and relaxed, for each hand.

  2. 2

    Plan

    Each day you get a 10, 20 or 30 minute plan built from your tempos, your weak spots and what you skipped lately.

  3. 3

    Play

    Big R/L sticking, a playhead on the current note, stroke cues, and optional mic timing that hears each stroke.

  4. 4

    Rate

    After each round you say how it sounded and how tense you were. The tempo only goes up when both are good, and it stops you if anything hurts.
