Whose signature instrument would you want to play if that artist were in the room with you? Sound off in the comments below to let us know, and don’t forget to check out Sweetwater for a detailed look at the signature PDP Daru Jones New Yorker II 4-piece shell pack 👉 sweetwater.sjv.io/PDP_Daru_Jones_New_Yorker_II

My man Daru showed up looking like a DC supervillian. "Paradiddle me this, Batman!"

Daru seems like a helluva nice guy. Gotta give him credit for being unabashedly unique

Every single employee of sweetwater plays drums "what a magnificent"

Actually, more of them play guitar than anything else. Many are multi instrumentalists.

Very cool - the girl was real GOOD

My Back hurts just watching this.

Definitely a hard configuration to just sit down and play… Like I get why he does it, just to stand out and be different. But in all honesty it’s definitely less efficient. But also it’s his voice and his expression so I dig it. Cool to look at, but I think imma keep my regular configuration….

Seems ridiculous but I don’t wanna judge anyone… I can see the snare drum being traditionally angled, but the rest of the drum set is not ergonomically making sense… I want to struggle as little as possible when I sit down to play the drums. I wanna make it look like I’m reading the newspaper on a Sunday afternoon yet I’m shredding.

@@williamperri3437 right?!… I mean the floor tom is almost bottom rim to floor. I see a chiropractor in his future…. Lol

Would make me do different grooves on that set up, not your regular drum fills you would come up with

I kind of want to try this

What an awesome way to ensure you'll have major back issues in your future years.

Some drummers like Phil collins. Their drum set up put a It of pressure on the back.

Love Daru and uniqueness!

What in the name of all that is holy... 😂

Very interesting, tap that creative element for sure!

No one gonna talk about that swishy ride Fr tho he plays that setup almost standing up. Watch him do it on the 2020 SNL performance with Jack White

Amazing!! I would LOVE to give this a go. Incredible funky style & I love it! 🥁

I really like that girl - #1

My back would be killing me all hunched over to play that kit lol

Nice. Now I have something to show my friends when they say my drum kit layout is odd 😁

I can’t believe I used to set my Drums up like this years ago. Except at higher “normal” heights. I think I had seen a picture of Keith Moon and his toms were set up facing outward, though it may have just been the angle from where the photo was taken. I had already used a tilted Snare Drum so I figured that would be interesting to try with the rest of the set. It’s quite interesting how we can get used to playing a certain way and it eventually feels normal. I don’t even feel comfortable with flat Toms anymore so I stick with a more conventional set up, it feels more ergonomically correct, which after watching Neil Peart talk about learning from Freddy G, it makes sense for me. This set up still looks so strange, even knowing that for him it probably feels natural.

Cute…Krupa would be proud 😲

That kit is as ridiculous as the dude's clothes. "And Dennis Chambers wept". 😂

OK! My comment above I said ridiculous twice and you’re making me feel a little bit better about that!

I see they're going for the Guinness World Record of "most awkward drum kit in human history".

Love!!! This!!!

I’m over in the DC if you need help with reactions 😂

I am not real familiar with Daru's music, but I do like that he is trying to do something different.... I do have concerns for his physical well being in the future though, cus this setup makes the player hunch over a lot to play it...which could have potential for body damage after a while.

So true - you must FEEL the music - going back in history to 1930

That girl can FEEL the music - big time - she can't BEAT YOU but she is damn good

Amazing to see - nice job

Tones great.would not play the weird set up tho

There goes your back!

That drumming kit is very powerful IF you know HOW - true

Looks fancy - special the placement for each single drum ... but "why" ... I play along time drums but saw this not often - Thanks.

How to go down in drumming history change the drumming kit - nice good - good luck

Aww, I'm never there when they get ready to record fun videos like this. They sound spicy.

Delaney was great

His whole family works there?

You can see why he plays with jack white, absurd set up lol

And I’m guessing Nick D took a pass on that kit! 😂 the kit sounds great mic’d but DW is going to far charging 1100.

Nice looking outfit - #1

Not my style. Just can't get into that kit setup.

So inefficient

That girl - made it come alive - not as good as you

No
