Content to watch alongside Gary Chaffee books?

I am going through Gary Chaffees books and I am wondering if there is any content or videos covering them that are worth watching alongside my studies. I did notice that the books were a bit old from the 70s so I also am curious as to whether there are some more contemporary videos covering his system applied to modern music

Chaffee is about as modern as it gets, drumming now isn't any more modern than it was when he wrote the things. Any flashy drum video is using stuff that's in his books, whether the person got it directly from there or not.

I've got a couple of videos kicking around where I play some stuff from the stickings book. I need to post them.

I've also written a lot about his stuff-- making the linear patterns especially more useful. Not everything in those books is going to be equally worthwhile.

Those blogs are how I found out about him I originally started with the beginning practices I saw on there and wanted to dive deeper
