By A Customer
This book is definitely not for beginners or amateurs.It is an in depth study of independance by one of the great studio legends.gary Chester has taught well known drummers such as Dave Weckl, Kenny Aronoff and Danny Gottlieb.This is definitely a challenge for any drummer regardless of their experience.The exercises contained in this book are designed to open the players imagination. It is an excellent challenge and it is a must buy for anyone with professional drumming aspirations.Be forewarned it is not an easy book to master !

5.0 out of 5 stars If you thought the first book was challenging..., February 27, 2009
Gary Chester's The New Breed II is a wonderfully difficult follow-up to his first New Breed. He was a genius in his ability to show drummers exactly where the "weak spots" are in their playing, and most importantly how to heal those problem areas, and move on to greater creativity. His exercises are very "dense", i.e., one works on many different aspects of drumming simultaneously, thus giving a big "bang for the buck" with respect to practice time. This book is a must for any serious student of the drumkit!
