Tribute to Gary
"Gary Chester touched the lives of so many people, and continues to do
so through the numerous recordings and books that he left behind.
Nothing can diminish the cherished memories that each of us hold so
dear. I think a fitting tribute to Gary is to honor his memory with
appreciation, to celebrate his life by sharing his lessons, stories,
and laughter, and to forge ahead with The New Breed. Thank you Gary!"
"I've been blessed with the memories of a truly unique role model and
those who got to study with him are left with the guidance of a bona
fide guru. For those of you who did know him, thank you for sharing my
father with me and for keeping the legend that is "The New Breed"
alive."
"Gary was a hugh father figure to his students. He would talk to them
about all phases of the music business and about what was going on in
their lives. We had business cards made up for him that said 'GARY
CHESTER, Drum Guru'.....and that's exactly the role he played in their
lives; someone to listen to and seek advice from on just about
everything. His passing left a psycological hole in the lives of many
drummers."
