The New Breed by Gary Chester is one of the most valuable books you can add to your collection if you want to get better at limb independence and coordination. Based around rock styles, this book provides a formula that will break your brain until you can handle anything.
When working out of The New Breed you'll start off with a basic pattern, or "system", between the hands and the hi hat. When that feels comfortable, you'll add in one of a number of "melodies" with the bass drum, and this is where you'll discover how much you really can't do.
As you progress through the book both the systems and the melodies become more active and complex. If you master everything in the book, you'll be in a class of your own when it comes to coordination.
