- This episode has a cool treat for anyone who knows Gary Chester or wants to! This was a surprise to the drummer Corey Roberts who is presenting ;) Gary Chester was the NYC drummer on the east coast who has played on over 14,000 sessions, and is the author and teacher of one of the most difficult and best-selling systems for drummers...THE NEW BREED. What Corey shares in this episode are his innovations just to give us a taste of the freedom you can gain by studying The New Breed with Gary Chesters approach! Practicing for what is on the "HORIZONS." One doesn't arrive to this type of independance, and shouldn't want to, by skipping steps or without the one2one guidance now possible so you can study live online with over-qualified and directly-experienced teachers who studied from Gary. First we learn the rules. Practicing gives us humility, respect and strengthens the love of playing as a true art. You begin trusting instincts that you knew were there, and letting go to reach what you're capable of. That's when a New Breed drummer's independence moves the drummer to innovation.
Corey's studies and his time with Gary were intense and life altering. What fills me with pride is knowing that Corey practices 2-hours a day, innovates like THIS while simultaneously being a family man and the CEO of an enormously successful company. Corey is a drummer. He expressed during his interview for the documentary on Gary, how his time studying with Gary profoundly informed how he lives and how many of Gary's teachings continue to guide and affect his life.
The kind of discipline Gary required from drummers and those he agreed to take on as students naturally & totally affected every important area of life, as seen in the life of Corey Roberts. From business to family and friendship and parenting, being schooled by Gary's non-negotiable integrity defines your art of being a drummer. At its core, Gary's teachings show those ready how our art as music is cultivated to time and our relation to it. How all of it is a reflection of the person we are..."If you are an ignorant person, you’re gonna play ignorant." And I am sure there are many who can expand and imagine how many ways Gary was able to get THIS point across when he replaced "ignorant" with his host of different, and at times made-up, super-descriptive words too. Such as "COOKIN'IST" What? Okay, yeah...cookin'ist :)

Thank you to clarify this hard exercises!
😊 I studied the Gary Chester systems with Mike Marble for many years. These systems took my playing to another level. I highly recommend them to all drummers
Me, too! Went through both books in their entirety. Ask him. 😊 About 3 years and 2,000 hours of work.
@@DrumGalaxy then please send us a video sample !! We’d love that!
Good to see you Corey. Gary mentioned you during one of my lessons. I studied with Gary for over 2 years leading up to his passing. I still teach his systems and enjoy developing them. Nice system, too!
I love watching New Breed studies. Can’t even begin to comprehend them or put into practice though…!
Fantastic Corey. Thank you for sharing this with me 🙏
That looks and sounds so cool!!!
Great stuff, Corey! I like your touch on the kit - just watching your hand position I can tell you are good. I did some of NB back in the late 80s after Dave Weckl came on the scene and talked about it and while I did some of them I haven't really touched anything else with it since then. FF to now and I'm finding some amazing playing that Dave did w/ CCEB in 88 (my favorite era) and that has brought me back to NB and this channel. I'm about to get my butt kicked from the beginning but am looking forward to it! Thanx for your work on here!
Wow! That is clean and sounds like music not an exercise.
Thank you
great approach !!!!!
Great playing, Corey! Flipping the system pattern and the melody between limbs every four bars, and nailing it!
Congratulations good teacher thanks!! Gary is a genious!!
Corey's touch on the drums is just so beautiful and the playing is just flowing and seems so effortless. 😊
Thank you!
Excellent job! From Rio de Janeiro Brazil, peace
This is absolutely fantastic.
Corey, you're sounding awesome. Touch & feel. Relaxed mastery. Respect!
Thank you!
Thank you
I need to get to work! This is an excellent and practical application of the New Breed!
Very impressive Corey! I bought the New Breed but was always intimidated by it.I think I need to reinvestigate.
If you want a few legs up you can now study on zoom from one of Gary’s original students using Gary’s approach fyi. Regardless I hope you do keep it up and wish you a good journey with the systems. Def investigate :)
