PDP Daru Jones PDDJ1804BF New Yorker II Shell Pack

PDP Daru Jones New Yorker II 4-Piece Shell Pack Blue Fade Lacquer - PDDJ1804BF

The PDP Daru Jones New Yorker II is one of the most innovative drum kits available today. Designed in collaboration with acclaimed drummer Daru Jones, whose groundbreaking work with Jack White helped redefine modern drumming, this kit is built for players looking to forge their own path. With its unconventional sizing, compact footprint, and unique sonic character, the New Yorker II is a statement piece both visually and musically.

At the heart of the kit is PDP's hybrid maple-poplar shell construction. The maple contributes warmth, resonance, and musicality, while the poplar adds punch, focus, and attack. The result is a versatile voice that performs well in studio, live, and creative performance environments while maintaining the responsiveness needed for modern playing styles.

What truly sets the New Yorker II apart are its distinctive shell sizes and Daru's signature "snom" concept. Rather than relying solely on traditional toms, the kit incorporates snare-tom hybrids that can function as either toms or auxiliary snares, dramatically expanding the creative possibilities available to the player. The unusual configuration encourages experimentation and helps drummers develop a unique voice behind the kit.

The stunning Blue Fade Lacquer finish gives the kit a contemporary, boutique-inspired appearance that perfectly complements its forward-thinking design. Whether on stage, in a studio, or featured in content creation, the New Yorker II commands attention.

Unlike traditional compact kits that simply shrink standard drum sizes, the New Yorker II was designed from the ground up as a creative instrument. The combination of the 18" bass drum, dual snoms, and 13" snare creates a setup that is highly portable yet capable of producing sounds and textures that stand apart from conventional drum kits.

For drummers looking to break away from standard configurations and explore new musical territory, the PDP Daru Jones New Yorker II offers a unique combination of style, portability, innovation, and professional-grade performance.
