From his gospel-, R&B-, and soul-heavy Detroit roots to a globetrotting career that spans numerous genres, Daru Jones has pioneered a multifaceted style he’s dubbed “soulhop.” His voltaic blend of production and performance proclivities has led to a percussive panache that challenges conventions of form and function, allowing for new spaces to be explored that continue to blur the boundaries of all manners of genre. Daru Jones dropped by Sweetwater to show us what his new PDP signature New Yorker II kit is all about. Check it out!

I love Daru and how he exudes pure joy while exploring the uncharted realms of creativity that are possible with a drum kit. His work with Jack White and Th1rt3en is astounding.

[@NATAGUILARMUSIC]

What an original! The greatest compliment to a drummer is that you hear one bar and you know who it is. I’m sure PDP is grateful to have an ambassador like Daru for their drums. Bravo Mr. Jones!

[@breadnaut3087]

My back hurts just watching him play 😄

[@brendanoshea1472]

And my wrists

[@osoperezoso2608]

Good thing you're not him

[@ayoungethan]

Everyone who makes these comments thinks they are being clever or insightful or something, but it is just old and annoying.

[@TheAnalogRebellion]

Very cool. I always appreciate when people challenge my preconceived notions about how drumming is "supposed" to be done. The modern drum set is a young instrument, in the grand scheme of things. Keep pushing the limits!

[@InnerCityOrganicz]

💯🔥 well said

[@kevinperry3639]

Well...That really had my foot tappin! Great beats, and a great video too, thanks for sharing 🤘

[@founboy78]

He takes being a ergonomic drummer to a new level.

[@Juniscrazy]

Nothing wrong with being original why be copy’s of others. He makes music that’s what a musician should do! He has his own style and sound. I dig it

[@thomaslthomas1506]

This cat has to be in the top 5 of drummers alive right now. Try playing anything he just did & it will make you drool badly.

[@demonicsweaters]

Daru is such a unique drummer. I love how he even used the hi hats as a ride and crash. Very cool kit, all snares!

[@InnerCityOrganicz]

I can't believe some ppl throw shade on Daru Jones's drum setup by insinuating that it's a gimmick! That is pure presumptional bs! Some of us play music in an unorthodox manner, simole as that but never simple to emulate sucka

[@gadymarcus2362]

Magnifico.⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️

[@gerardzelaya]

What drumsticks are those? I love the color!

[@rolandhillmann6503]

Daru is Artwork

JTH on Hazel.....if you end up here...if 7's have breath....Brandy or Carrie can help with directions. Praying you, family and Ludwigs are safe and sound 😊 777ns

[@ayoungethan]

Freakin drumming police here telling someone far more successful than they are that he is doing it wrong. He has a great time feel and a unique sparse style. His playing is instantly recognizable both visually and sonically. How many of you haters can say the same? Let alone the irony: music is art. Stop policing other people's creativity. DJ doesn't tell anyone how to drum. He encourages everyone to find their own style and express themselves. I suggest that DJ's haters take that advice and spend less time and energy being offended and more time and energy making music that other people want to hear.

[@andrewmcalister]

What's the ride in the second part of the video?

[@jpartin8086]

Is that Mr. Doodle clothing?

[@rosmakloma]

I just don’t get it

[@Juniscrazy]

You don’t need to get it. He’s a pro, gets money, does it his way

[@richiecomia3696]

Jack White, PDP, and Paiste get it.

[@wilkinsnl]

I’m glad to see you don’t have to set it up that way. Great drummer, not so sure of the set up.

[@ayoungethan]

You don't have to set up any kit any way, and there are plenty of trad setups that are terribly unergonomic. He put a lot of thought into his setup. It is not only a part of his aesthetic, it is an essential part of his sparse sound and feel.

[@officialmoondancer]

can we be perfectly honest here... beyond the cymbals (not that horrendous hi-hat)... nobody is buying this stuff. It's sonically not applicable to 99% of musical situations. It works for Daru... well because it's Daru. Great guy, uniquely good drummer, and has one of the greatest rock gigs on the planet. Mad props to him. But, IMO... I've always thought PDP just needed to get rid of capital by investing into this line of signature product.

[@creamwarrior]

Personally, I think it adds a lot to their line to where you get a very unique kit for not a lot of money. Even if you don't set up exactly like him, you do get a lot of options and a lot of different ways to play it. Not to mention how much smaller footprint than a normal size kit, which I think is partly the reason why it may be popular rather than the extra bells and whistles.

[@kents2908]

Exactly why I got it@@creamwarrior

[@ayoungethan]

OP, let's be perfectly honest here...show your market research or are you just an armchair chauvinist?

[@Exaltation-heliacal]

But why ?

[@ayoungethan]

What is the point of your comment? He explains his setup elsewhere. It is part of his showmanship aesthetic and unique sparse style. It forces him to commit. It is entirely unique and creative, and millions of people who love his sound agree. He keeps time in a very unique way that is freaking groovy. That's why.

[@Drummer55]

Just think of good he "might" be if he would stop goofing around and lay into a solid groove on an actual kit.

[@DavidOakesMusic]

This kit surely only lends itself to one tempo ? I doubt he can do blazing fills around the toms.

[@Juniscrazy]

He has he’s a great drummer. He does beats hip hop and stuff on here but he’s played on “regular” drum setting dropping grooves

[@drummerdan95]

Dude's already a successful full time musician doing it his own way 🤷‍♂️
