Daru Jones's showmanship and expressive phrasing have earned him spots performing alongside Jack White and Talib Kweli. From the same musical mind comes the Paiste PST X DJs 45 series. These FX cymbals proudly bear Daru's silhouette logo and expressive soul. What's cool is, their 12" size makes every cymbal in the line ? hats, crash, and ride ? perfect for gigging, mixing, and stacking. If you're looking to add new layers of expression to your playing, check out Paiste PST X DJs 45 cymbals from Sweetwater.

Daru Jones: Finding a New Beat





What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


12" Hats





Daru Jones's 12" PST X DJs 45 Hats will channel your illest grooves this side of Dilla. Use them as FX hats for everyday playing or as your main hats for funk, soul, and hip-hop. Their crisp attack, quick decay, and biting wash are sure to add new dynamics to your playing. Sweetwater tip: try playing the black-finished bottom cymbal up top for tonal variety and enhanced visuals.





12" Ride





If you're leery of calling a 12" cymbal a "ride," you're not alone. But take a turn on Daru Jones's 12" PST X DJs 45 Ride, and you might think differently. This cymbal has that sampled-and-sped-up sound to bring your favorite breakbeats to the stage. A defined ping and chunky bell tones are yours at a controlled volume for intimate settings. Not only does the DJs 45 Ride sound fire, but it also looks the part, too ? its vinyl 45 motif with black finish, record-groove lathing, and "Side A" stamp is bound to attract the right kind of attention when you play out.





12" Crash





Don't let the small size of Daru Jones's 12" PST X DJs 45 Crash fool you: multiple holes along the bow give this crash a deliciously dark and trashy tone and an explosive character ? one that's perfect for busting old-school breakbeats and performing with electronics. Because the cymbal is so low mass, it's controlled enough for small gigs and chokes on a dime.
