“When I’m playing behind the drums, I become the drum. I want the audience to feel what I’m feeling.” – Daru Jones 

Jones’ distinctive approach to drumming is immediately obvious when you walk in on his kit set up. A unique vibe, the snare and toms face out towards the audience giving a powerful, groove-oriented playing, that has solidified his reputation as one of the most exciting drummers of his generation.  Advertisement

Cardboard Sessions (a collaboration between Signal Snowboards and Ernest Packaging) is a free-form video series that brings musicians together to play instruments built and designed by the creators of Cardboard Chaos, where progressive concept ideas in sports and music are crafted from cardboard. A creative exploration of the love of music and the chance to hear something original with no rehearsal, no plan, and no rules. Artists who have had the opportunity to play the cardboard creations in past sessions include ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons, J Mascis, Matt Sorum, Terry Reid, Preservation Hall All-Star Band, LP, Dogstar, and more.
