Daru Jones, born to two professional musicians, started drumming at the age of four. Getting his break through touring gigs, Jones has progressed to big time names and big time stages. Playing for artists such as Jack White, Pete Rock and Nas, Jones has cemented himself as an in-demand and influential live and session drummer due to his unique style and set-up.
Influenced by an eclectic variety of music, Jones brands his style of playing as "soul-hop", incorporating the drum loops of hip-hop with soul and jazz musicality. This blend has made him sought-after in the hip-hop world and revered on international stages - Jones was named by the LA Times as "Best Drummer of Coachella 2015" for his performance with Jack White (seriously, go check it out!).
