PDP The Daru Jones New Yorker 4pc Compact Shell Pack - Gold-to-Black Sparkle Fade
The genre-bending drummer has lent his name to a kit as versatile as his resume. Designed to be gig-friendly and fun to play, the 4-piece DJNY rig includes cases for everything. A combination of hybrid poplar/maple shell and "short stack" dimensions makes the kit sound remarkably big and warm for its diminutive size. Its striking appearance comes courtesy of a large-flake Gold-to-Black Sparkle Fade lacquer finish.
Created nearly a decade ago as a portable DW Custom Shop kit, the New Yorker's compact configuration is now available as a stylish, yet price-conscious kit for the student or working drummer. Warm tones come courtesy of an all poplar shell and a low mass "Teardrop" Mini Turret Lug make it a lightweight and travel-friendly. Other features include True-Pitch tuning, Remo heads, full-sized bass drum mount with auxiliary clamp and more.
PLEASE NOTE: Cymbals and DW 6000UL Hardware are NOT included. The DW 6000UL shown in the features above is available as a separate item here

Review By Our Drum Specialist Matt Longshaw...
On first impressions the Daru Jones New Yorker 4pc Compact Drum kit had a surprising amount of punch to it, this would be mainly because of the short stack toms (which deliver just as much volume as the deeper stacked toms only without the nasty overtones) and 18" kick drum (which for its size delivers a lot of volume and power).
This kit was designed to be very easy to transport to and from gigs and I cannot fault the designers at all in that department. Unlike bigger drum kits, this kit isn't very heavy and doesn't take a lot of time to set up, so you can be feeling ready to go when its finally time to play.
I really get the feeling that this kit could play pretty much any genre from jazz to funk fusion all the way through to rock. This is due mostly to the massive dynamic range that the snare drum can give you when its tuned properly, it has a real crack to it.
In summary if you want a small, lightweight and easy to set up drum kit but you also want something loud and powerful then honestly look no further, the Daru Jones New Yorker 4pc Compact drum kit has you covered from all angles. I can honestly say that you wont find a smaller acoustic drum kit with this much character.
