## Description

Perfect for drummers, music teachers, and advanced students. The New Breed by Gary Chester is a revolutionary drum method designed to transform the way modern drummers approach coordination, creativity, and timing. Developed by one of the most recorded studio drummers of the 1960s and 1970s, this system provides the foundation for mastering the demands of today’s studio and live performance environments. Ideal for serious drummers, it helps players refine focus, balance, and rhythmic control. What’s Included: This updated edition features access to exclusive online audio, including an insightful interview with Gary Chester. The book introduces a complete system built around independence and concentration training. Rather than isolated drills, each exercise challenges drummers to lead with either hand, develop rhythmic awareness, and expand creativity across styles such as rock, funk, jazz, and fusion. The structured systems are designed to inspire new musical ideas that translate directly to performance. Why It’s Valuable: The New Breed helps drummers build confidence, enhance timing, and improve coordination under pressure. It’s widely used by professionals and educators alike to strengthen reading skills, left and right-hand lead, and click awareness. Endorsed by renowned drummers including Kenny Aronoff, Danny Gottlieb, and Dave Weckl, this method remains an essential tool for anyone committed to mastering the modern drum set. Bring your drumming to life. Whether used in lessons, self-study, or professional practice, this book inspires growth and mastery behind the kit. A perfect gift for dedicated drummers or teachers seeking a timeless and transformative practice method.

Review: A classic for a reason - EVERY drummer needs to own a copy - I have owned a copy of this book for over 20 years (had to replace a few times from wearing it out) and I still keep coming back! Some would argue this is the only book you need, I would say this paired with The Complete Drummers Vocabulary will give you a lifetime of material to work on. My goal as a drum set instructor is to get my students working in this book as soon as possible. I use a matrix-styled approach to introduce enough coordination to start with the systems and it is not intended for a beginner. There are TONS of ways to interpret the exercises and create new and challenging ways to go through this book; if you are reading this - go ahead and pull the trigger on this classic drum book.
Review: A LOT MORE RELEVANT THAN "THE CLASSICS" - THIS REVIEW IS FOR ROCK, POP, BLUES, FUNK, SOUL AND THE KIND DRUMMERS.... NOT FOR JAZZ DRUMMERS OR DRUMMERS THAT LOVE EXTREMELY FAST AND INTRICATED, TECHNICAL STUFF I received this book yesterday among stick control and the chapin book...i have already syncopation and some more. Let me say that i never quite understood all the hustle about books that are for snare drum, or snare and bass. We are supposed to play drums guys!!, to play hi-hat, bass, cymbals, snare, toms...all as a unity, with music in mind. The relationship between the instruments commented above is the beauty of playing drums (if not why to bother right?). Yes, for that you must have an idea of how to hold and control a stick, and some rudiments wont hurt you. BUT,you can be proficent with the excercises in stick control and syncopation, and be an horrible drummer at the same time!!! INSTEAD, if you are proficent with the system developed by this incredible guy, no way you can be an horrible drummer!!! OUR INTRUMENT IS NOT THE SNARE, IS THE DRUM SET. OUR POURPOSE IS TO COMBINE THE SOUND OF DIFERENT INSTRUMENTS IN A MEANINGFULL WAY... I did just a few bars of combinations with the systems and the melodies...after 2 hours i could play some interesting things. You can feel how every excercise is training you to be a very well rounded drummer. The independence is worked a lot, but in somewhat indirect way (not for the sake of it)...and always in relation to a MELODY, or a rythm....THINGS MAKE SENSE FOR A DRUMMER!! The exercises don't leave you with the question....do i really need this? IF I COULD KEEP JUST ONE BOOK TO LEARN TO PLAY DRUMS, THIS WOULD BE IT, HANDS DOWN WITHOUT A SECOND OF HESITATION. THE OTHER BOOKS, AS I SEE IT, ARE A COMPLEMENT FOR THIS ONE, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. I guess if you were doubting about this book now you are not!!:) Cheers.
