Demo - Gary Chester's "New Breed"

Demonstration of practice method out of Gary Chester's drum instructional book "The New Breed". This shows a brief sampling of a few different exercises ranging from somewhat easy to advanced. This is for my students' reference.

Example 1: Page 9, System 2, 60 bpm. Reading on bass drum: page 14 (I-A), first two bars, each repeated indefinitely. Vocalizing quarter-note pulse.

Example 2: Page 9, System 4, 70 bpm. Reading on bass drum: page 16 (II-A), first two bars, each repeated indefinitely. Vocalizing quarter-note pulse.

Example 3: Page 12, System 28 hybrid: feet reversed (BD plays hi hat part and hi hat reads melody), 80 bpm. Reading on hi hat: page 18 (III-A), first two bars, each repeated indefinitely. Vocalizing quarter-note pulse.

Nice demo, man...I always found G.C. new breed a little confusing to follow.

would it be possible to maybe make a video to verbally explain the concept of the book with some examples from the various systems used for the development of all four limbs plus the added voice(singing) aspect of the excercises....It would be greatly appreciated if you could share your expertise

regarding this great drum book study. Thanks

@sticktrik Thanks for the compliments! To me, it's one of the most useful drum books ever written.

As far as an 'explanation' video, I'm not planning on doing that--sorry! That's what my private lessons are for. However, if you have any specific questions, feel free to PM me.

@hipskind Thanks for getting back to me! I'll take you up on the PM thing!!

There are a few questions I'd like to ask!.... Regards
