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 :)

    😊 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
  • @Scliarvideos
    Excellent job! From Rio de Janeiro Brazil, peace
  • @BPJazz
    Thank you to clarify this hard exercises!
  • @SONORSQ2guy
    Your drum set up reminds me of David Garibaldi
  • @90four6
    Corey's touch on the drums is just so beautiful and the playing is just flowing and seems so effortless. 😊
  • @JeffWald
    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!
  • @PAD___
    I need to get to work! This is an excellent and practical application of the New Breed!
  • @robpearson108
    That book will either turn you into a premier drummer or run you over!!!!
  • @michaelobrien9689
    Great job! Lord knows how many brain cells I’ve burnt playing, or attempting to, along to some of those excercizes lol
  • @joeycommisso4827
    Simply ridiculous my brother.....Gary would be beaming with pride.
  • @mikedarock1
    Great playing, Corey! Flipping the system pattern and the melody between limbs every four bars, and nailing it!
