Modern Drummer "The 25 Greatest Drum Books" August 1993
"This book (along with it's follow-up, The New Breed II) may well be the most challenging independence book available today.
For The New Breed, Chester devised a unique system involving internalized patterns and drum 'melodies', in an attempt to expand
drummers' coordination and groove ability.
Many of today's top artists - like Dave Weckl, Danny Gottlieb, and Kenny Aronoff -
have worked through it, and found the hours spent in its study to be a total mind expanding experience."
