What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Portability achieved without sacrificing quality





Some lightweight drums might employ low-grade components to achieve lighter weight, but not the PDP Daru Jones New Yorker II. PDP built these "short stack" shells with pro-grade maple/poplar plies to supply that warm backbeat that grooves with the best of them. To complement, this shell pack boasts low-mass mini-turret lugs and a classic MAG throw off for the snare, all coated in a durable and attractive chrome finish (including the True-Pitch tension rods!). And all New Yorker II drums come with top-quality Remo heads, so you know they will sound great for a long time.





Cymbals, stands, and additional hardware not included.


Snoms all around





For versatile snaring like you've never experienced, the PDP Daru Jones New Yorker II has a few tricks up its sleeve. Nicknamed "snom" (snare tom), this hybrid drum engineering equips the floor tom and the mounted tom with a snare throw-off system. This allows for the lightning-fast engagement of snare wires to inject some tonally unique style into your sound. Always wanted a baritone snare on standby? How about a trebly miniature snare? Done and done! With this dual snom setup, in addition to the included snappy 6-inch x 13-inch snare drum, you'll have more than enough snare tones to satisfy any session's needs!





Drum like Daru!





There aren't a lot of signature shell packs that afford you both practicality and solid tone like the Daru Jones New Yorker II does! A drummer who's kept the backbeat for the likes of Nas, Sturgill Simpson, and Jack White for 10-plus years, Daru Jones has undoubtedly earned his stripes. And a signature shell pack that makes a statement as bold as his playing style is a sure-fit solution for compact-kit drummers of all calibers. Coming dressed in this gorgeous finish, it's safe to say you won't have to worry about looking the part!
