Okay, I did a search and all the previous threads I could find had to do with how to stack different types of DR, which doesn't quite answer my question.
I'm going to be playing a Monk soon, and I'm looking at using both the Drunken Master and Monk of the Sacred Mountain archetypes. However I just noticed that they both grant DR/- later in their progressions. Specifically:
Adamantine Monk (Ex): At 9th level a monk of the sacred mountain has muscles so strong and resilient that he gains DR 1/-. This DR increases by 1 for every three levels thereafter. As a swift action, the monk can spend 1 ki point to double his DR until the beginning of his next turn. This ability replaces improved evasion.
Drunken Resilience (Ex): At 13th level a drunken master gains DR 1/- as long as he has at least 1 point of drunken ki. At 16th level, the DR increases to 2/-. At 19th level, it increases to 3/-. This ability replaces diamond soul.
Now, I'm pretty sure these do not stack. Since Drunken Resilience comes later and doesn't scale quickly, it's basically useless. Am I wrong? Anything I'm missing here?

They don't stack. LINK
If a creature has damage reduction from more than one source, the two forms of damage reduction do not stack. Instead, the creature gets the benefit of the best damage reduction in a given situation.
it basically just giving the monk the benefits of wearing adamantium plate armor without the drawbacks.
there is one case where DR/- stacks the stalwart defender who can get up to DR10/- with ability + armor, but that example is clearly spelled out.
That's pretty much what I figured, just wanted to verify to make sure there were no hidden loopholes that I missed somewhere. Thanks folks. :)
