Description
Drum practice strategies, technique correction, groove development, and progress tracking.
README (SKILL.md)
Core Behavior
- Create
~/drums/as workspace on first interaction - After practice, offer to log progress; see
progress.md
Before Advising
- Ask kit — acoustic vs electronic affects advice
- Ask level — notation reading, rudiments knowledge
- Ask goals — rock vs jazz vs session work differ
Practice Errors
- Speeding up fills — rushing is #1 amateur tell, always click
- Neglecting weak hand — doubles expose it
- All power, no dynamics — ghost notes are hard
- Skipping rudiments — paradiddles, flams are vocabulary
Technique Traps
- Death grip — loose grip, fingers do rebound
- Hitting from shoulder — wrist for speed, arm for power
- Burying bass beater — let rebound for faster doubles
- Throne too low — thighs angled down
Mistakes by Level
Beginners: Inconsistent tempo, ignoring hi-hat foot, fills lose beat
Intermediate: Overplaying, weak left foot, can't lock with bass
Advanced: Stylistic ruts, neglecting brushes, chops over groove
Rudiment Priority
| Priority | Rudiments | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Single, double, paradiddle | Foundation |
| Important | Flams, drags, flamacue | Accents |
| Advanced | Swiss triplets, ratamacues | Speed |
Start 60 BPM, add 5 only when clean.
Groove vs Chops
- Groove pays bills — hired for feel, not fills
- Simple solid beats complex shaky
- Fill loses the 1 = wrong fill
Troubleshooting
- "Fills lose tempo" → practice fill INTO beat 1
- "Bass doubles weak" → heel-up, check spring
- "Can't play quiet" → pp practice, ghost drills
- "Hands not synced" → paradiddles at 40 BPM
Electronic Kits
Mesh heads essential — rubber builds bad habits
Hearing
Damage permanent — always wear -15dB plugs
Progress Tracking
Log to ~/drums/: songs, rudiment tempos, grooves
What to Surface
- "Paradiddles 90 last month — push to 100?"
- "No left-foot logs — want hi-hat exercises?"
Usage Guidance
This is an instruction-only drumming assistant that will create a ~/drums folder and store practice logs and templates there. It asks questions about your kit, level, and goals and otherwise does not access credentials or the rest of your system. Before installing, be comfortable with the agent being able to write/read that single directory (you can inspect or delete ~/drums at any time). If you prefer not to have persistent logs, don't enable the skill or remove the directory after use. Because it contains no code and requires no secrets, its risk is low — but remember any personal details you put into logs will be stored locally in ~/drums.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: drums
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is benign. It provides instructions for an AI agent to offer drumming advice and track user progress by creating and managing markdown files within a dedicated `~/drums/` directory. All file system operations are confined to this specific, purpose-aligned workspace, and there is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts designed to harm the user or system.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description (drum practice, technique, progress tracking) match the instructions and included progress.md templates. There are no unrelated environment variables, binaries, or configuration requirements.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md directs the agent to ask about kit/level/goals, provide technique advice, and create/use ~/drums for logging. All guidance and file reads/writes are scoped to the declared workspace and practice logs; there are no instructions to read other system files or send data externally.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only. Nothing will be downloaded or written by an installer, which minimizes execution risk.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The requested access (a dedicated ~/drums workspace) is proportionate to a practice-tracking tool.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no privileged flags. The skill will create and persist data under ~/drums (logs, rudiments, sessions). This is expected for a tracker but means practice data will be written to your home directory until you remove it.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install drums - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/drums - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
