The grooves Chris Turner actually uses across their path, moves and song studies — each one opens the same exercise workout the rest of the app links to.
Half-Time Pocket Groove
Level 2Groove · 60–150 BPM
Half-time takes a groove that would normally have the snare on 2 and 4 and moves it so the snare lands only once every two beats-worth — on beat 3 — making everything feel twice as slow and heavy even at the same tempo.
Goal: A big, heavy half-time pocket
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
WorkoutLinear 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
