Animals as Leaders · Polymetric layering and linear coordination over djent's shifting riffs
The grooves Matt Garstka actually uses across their path, moves and song studies — each one opens the same exercise workout the rest of the app links to.
Linear Groove Around the Kit
Level 3Groove · 55–130 BPM
'Linear' means only one limb sounds at a time — no kick and hi-hat together, ever. It forces your hands off the snare and onto the toms to fill the space.
Goal: Modern linear groove vocabulary you can drop into a fill
WorkoutSnare–Tom Combination Grooves
Level 3Groove · 55–130 BPM
Instead of every backbeat landing on the snare, some of them move to a tom, so the groove itself sounds like a mini fill without ever stopping the pocket.
Goal: Groove vocabulary that sounds composed, not just backbeat-backbeat
WorkoutKick Placement Drill
Level 2Groove · 55–140 BPM
Your hands play the exact same thing every bar. Only the kick moves. This builds the 'my foot goes where I want' skill that everything else depends on.
Goal: Tight, creative kick phrasing under a static groove
