Lars Ulrich
Metallica · Thrash precision, riff-locked arrangements, and relentless right-hand drive.
The grooves Lars Ulrich actually uses across their path, moves and song studies — each one opens the same exercise workout the rest of the app links to.
Kick 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
WorkoutSnare Displacement
Level 3Groove · 55–130 BPM
Normally the snare lands on 2 and 4. Here you slide it slightly later each time — onto the 'e', then the '&', then the 'a' — while the hi-hat and kick refuse to move.
Goal: You feel the pulse independently of the backbeat
WorkoutRide Pattern Variations
Level 2Groove · 55–150 BPM
The snare and kick stay the same the whole time. Only your right hand changes what it is doing on the ride. This teaches your limbs to stop copying each other.
Goal: A right hand you can change without losing the pocket
