Whether you're a pro drummer schlepping around the Big Apple, a session player in a compact studio space, or a student just learning the ropes, the PDP Daru Jones New Yorker 4-piece Drum Set is an excellent choice among compact kits. Its toms, bass drum, and snare are built with hybrid maple/poplar shells that yield warm, resonant tones with great punch, and its low-mass hardware and easy-carry DW Ultralight hardware won't break your back on the way to the gig. The Daru Jones New Yorker set is as versatile as its namesake, with "short stack" shell sizes that nevertheless emit full, rich reports, a full-sized bass drum mount with auxiliary clamp, and Remo heads for a responsive feel with superior frequency range.

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 (DJNY) set. PDP built the DJNY "short stack" shells with pro-grade maple/poplar plies, low-mass mini-turret lugs, and durable and attractive chrome mounts and other hardware (including True-Pitch tension rods). Your DJNY bass drum will be properly positioned, thanks to the included bass drum lifter; your pedal's beater will always hit the target. And all DJNY drums come with top-quality Remo heads, so you know they will sound great for a long time.





More boom for your buck





The PDP DJNY set gives you a ton of value for the price. You get a rack tom, floor tom, bass drum, and snare ? but that's not all! The DJNY also comes with DW Ultralight hardware: two straight cymbal stands, one hi-hat stand, and a strong, secure snare stand. The Ultralight series is a scaled-down version of the popular 6000 Series retro-style flush-base hardware, and the stands' smaller diameter, lighter-gauge tubing, and low-mass joints make them uber-portable for the drummer on the go. On top of all that, you get a four-piece bag set for transporting the whole kit in style and comfort.
