New Cardboard Sessions Released Featuring Grammy-Winning Drummer Daru Jones
A new edition of free-form video series Cardboard Sessions has been released, featuring Grammy-winning drummer Daru Jones.
Cardboard Sessions has released the first of two new episodes featuring Grammy Award winner Daru Jones. The first, “Stay Off The Streets Pt. 2,” features Jones sitting behind the cardboard kit with MarkNoxx on vocals and the cardboard guitar. The second, featuring Jones on the kit with DJ J. Rocc adding beats on the turntable, will be released next Wednesday, July 31st. Dweezil Zappa produced both sessions.
Jones gained widespread recognition for his work with Jack White, contributing a fresh, energetic sound on White’s solo albums and tours. He also has collaborated with Bootsy Collins, Kanye West, and Pete Rock, among others. He has extensively toured with Nas, Talib Kweli, Sturgill Simpson, Esperanza Spalding, Kim Burrell, and many more.
Says Jones:
“When I’m playing behind the drums, I become the drum. I want the audience to feel what I’m feeling.”
Jones’ distinctive approach to drumming is immediately obvious when you walk in on his kit setup. 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.
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.
