I love this guy's reaction and his respect for this guy's skills. He's not one of these purists who acts as if you're not playing the actual instrument it doesn't count. Props to him for that.
@@paulosilva8200 That's really not a helpful comment. We're just talking about drumming on pads here. There's no need to crap on other genres of music because you think they're more "legit." You can use electronic drums in your music. It's ok. You can use an amp modeler for your guitar without ever hooking it up to a real amp. That's ok too. If it sounds good, it's good. People can make music however they want - even if it's different from how you make music.
@@Nightmoore really. You compared guitar effects with playing ability. . Really dude. What's next in your agenda. Driving on PlayStation is the same as f1. Driving is Driving. In yours words. Correct ?
@@Nightmoore by the way. Guitar effects modeling is the same as playing in the real amp. All skills are the same. I play guitar. And for your talk, you know nothing about music instruments to give that option. Stick to hip hop and leave the pros with the skills.
"Fingers": "Hi, I'm auditioning for the position of drummer." Band: "Yeah, so where's your gear...?" "Fingers": "Oh, right here, in this suitcase" *pulling out his Akai MPC X* Band: "Look, thanks for taking the time to...." *"Fingers", giving a masterpiece quality demo* Band: "Sir, are you maybe interested in some extra members for your band?"
I had the great pleasure to work as a sound engineer for a band where David plays drums. He is so precise and groovy and a great human being. The finger drumming is so awesome but make sure to see and hear him on real drums too...
He playz Drum Machine so well & realistically, dat I'm surprised he doesn't just throw da kit away. Real drumz = lotzo responsibility. #1. Luggin em around #2. Buying da best perc #3. Tuning nstrument #4. Mic of nstrument #5. Buying new headz #6. Cost vs. time spent setting up real drumz vs drum machine #7 & on & on & on & on BUTT THANK GOD 4 HIM, & HIS COMMITTMENT 2 BEING DA BEST DRUMMER, RATHER ON ACTUAL SKINZ/A SET OR ON A DRUM MACHINE! So Awesum!!!
David Haynes is the best finger drummer I've ever heard :) Been listening to him for like 9 years. Thanks for sharing the video and your reactions -- I react the same way shaking my head lol.
Finger drumming! Didn’t know other people played like that! I used to play the Roland Hand Sonic HPD-15 with my fingers. Played in a trip hop band for a few years in NYC. Very cool; awesome skills!
And this is warmup bro. There some really solid entries in his video repertoire. This man is insane! And everything makes sense drumwise. Much love to you for doing your thing!
I never saw something like that...wow..it‘s an art form by itself. Another step to perfect bedroom productions. One can like it or not, it is happening.
He is actually a left handed drummer who sets his kit up like a right handed drummer. This gives him much more freedom and range while playing. It is a sight to see as well.
@@radbradmusicartist Wasn't the 2nd square at the top the pad for the ghost notes and the one beside it is the regular snare hit (counting from left to right)? I think the velocity sensitivity will only determine the volume of the snare hit and it will not create ghost notes. Edit: by top I meant from our POV, not the drummer's.
@@lazydog5065 Depends if he uses samples or a plugin for his drums. Being an MPC it's probably samples but on plugins velocity will change the character of the drum hits you play
It makes sense that this works pretty well. You now have 6 to 8 limbs easily and the movements are very small, so can be very fast. Bouncing and dynamics are hard I think.
No way this guy isn’t an actual drummer himself!😂 He definitely gets the instrument in the way it sounds and how you approach it. If he isn’t an actual drummer he clearly put in the work to know how drums should sound when you play them. It’s scary how good VSTs are now but in order to get the VSTs to actually sound dam near the real thing then you either gotta be a player of the instrument or put the work in to actually understand how the instrument reacts and know how to program it accordingly. Either way if you know what your doing and you go against the grain a bit and sound different then everyone else then that’s great in my book.
Check out the Zendrum, my old bass players father invented it and the "drummer" for Bella Fleck and the Flecktones uses one along with his drumtar. It is an awesome trigger board that you use a strap to hold it sort of like a guitar.
Absolutely love this. Since I saw 'Finger' Haynes on a NAAM video playing I had to get a kit. I'm. a guitarist but I got a Presonus Atom & with a bit of effort it's not too hard to get some decent rhythms going, but nothing like the above of course! I've just spent an evening messing about with Logic Pro transformation objects and scripts, so now I have a keyboard sustain pedal mapped to the kick drum and the keyboard footswitch mapped to the closed hi-hat. Now, to say it's fun would be understatement of the year! 😁
if you want to do exactly what the man did musically, you must at least learn how to drums to know the grooves, tempo, rhythm, creativity etc. you can't just do that kind of stuff without actually learning 'music'.
I like how u making your videos bro been with ya for few years true supporter of your channel my drumming UA-cam like if you search praise break David Hines u find me but like I enjoy your reaction. Fr
If you like this, you should check out Futureman. He and his brother, Victor Wooten, play jazz with Bela Fleck. Futureman has these "drumtars" that he plays. All three of them are phenomenal musicians.
Hey folks! I just wanna thank everyone for the love! 😀👍
Did you finger drum on your desks growing up?
You're awesome mate, mad respect. The Bernard Purdie of the Akai !
Amazing work man, Where can I get those Drum samples to practice on my push 2? :D

The difference is this finger drummer has soul in his drumming. Most machine purists are playing music lego.
This is unreal lol. This man could play at any gig, concert or church and most ppl wouldn't know a drum kit was missing or care he's that good.
They wouldn't even care, youre right. I know I wouldn't...
Yes from the new generation yes. They don't know how many strings a guitar have. I stick to metal and rock . The real thing

Yeah he a great guy, he did drums for my cousins rap song Monstas feat C Rayz Walz J Bayne
Amazing solo, and the best sounding drum pad I’ve ever heard!
David played on my 2013 recording project called “Late Bloomers”. I was always amazed by his creative contributions.

@Born To Sing With The Guitar David Haynes. The guy finger drumming here can wail on acoustic drums,too!
@Born To Sing With The Guitar i did sir.
I can't believe what I'm seeing/hearing! Stunned, seriously. That fingerwork!

yooo loved the surprise on your face when he got into it! brilliant reaction
Very impressive ... what is absolutely crazy is that he reproduces also so well the dynamic of the hits !!! :-) Thx Josh for this sharing
He is actually a left handed drummer who sets his kit up like a right handed drummer. This gives him much more freedom and range while playing. It is a sight to see as well.
What always gets me about keyboard and finger drummers is how they're able to use ghost notes, how is that even possible?!
Velocity sensitive pads. If youre referring the persons technique. Just practicing dynamics

@@lazydog5065 Depends if he uses samples or a plugin for his drums. Being an MPC it's probably samples but on plugins velocity will change the character of the drum hits you play
The ghost notes are velocity sensitive, which can be programmed with any sound you put into these pads. Tale as old as time
That is so incredible I have never seen that before with a real drum sounds always with samples an electronic drum sounds. THIS IS THE BEST EVER!!!!
As a Bass player I'm like... Really?? Family got that sauce baby frfr. I absolutely love and respect that grind. Keep it funky always 😉
he's even doing KLR rudiments with his fingers. what a beast
This was WAY cooler than I expected it to be by the title. Awesome!
Well,( A ) the finger drumming is without a doubt amazing and (B) I just loved watching Joshua"s face , and his delight . You mad my day friend. 👌
Dude is sick on an actual set also
dammmmmmnnnn that was tight!!! awesome job. i got a drum machine too, but no way in hell i could drum like that! Awesome job! :)
Day-um! Talk about impressive...that's better fills and rolls than some real drummers I know and have hit with! That is just incredible - kudos!
Thanks sir!
He knows where his drums are at.. awesome my dude, 💯
Dude oozes rhythm and dexterity.
And that's, ladies & gets, is how you play a drum computer. Period. Big time. And yes, Buddy Rich just got impressed.
Man, that is insane skills.
Boy got rhythm n chops - finger chops.
Dudes the OG
“Bruh what in the world?!” I had the same reaction Josh. This was too nasty! Andre Forbes aka MusicManDre would be proud.😂😂🔥🔥🔥

Amazing! Great stuff!!
Amazing!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
There's a group call Trio plus and they have a finger drummer it's the first time I've ever seen anything like that and I can't lie it is insane
I’m blown away 🤯🤯🤯
David Haynes, the King of fingerdrumming...!
that was so musical! Man that was cool
How often does he replace those buttons?
Triggers can only take so much
Beyond good
GOAT
Is this for real? Holy crap! How? This is just incredible!
Damn that was incredible!
Man he's IN THERE!
Your reaction is just priceless man... Me looking at myself in the mirror: Oh shit! I got the same reaction lol
Dude has MAD swing!
Damn.... Here I am thinking that I could pull off Wipe Out solo with a pencil back in the day 😂.... That was amazing!
That’s BEYOND amazing.
Whouu! MAD skills, great sensitivity and quality samples! S I C K !
That's is sooo sick! Love it!
It makes sense that this works pretty well. You now have 6 to 8 limbs easily and the movements are very small, so can be very fast. Bouncing and dynamics are hard I think.
That really sick man !!! ❤️👌
Why was I surprised, I mean his name is "fingers"... this man is crazy!
Four minutes turned into 30 seconds! Real talent for entertainment...
That was incredible!!
I have recorded and played with David.. his kit drumming is just as good, if not better!
He is KILLIN that shyt. I need them sounds tho.
👀
Fr them samples clean af
You gotta do a video mimicking it 🤣😂😂
Man this cat cut sick, friggin awesome
Maneeeeee this dude is crazy
Crazy!! Someone make this man a tiny drum set.

So you’re telling me this whole time I didn’t have to learn drums ???
😂

Well, if you wanted to be talented, yes learn the drums. This is just playing with a toy.

You should hear him play a normal drum set...off the chain!. He’s just a great musician all around!
Brotha Fuasi!!
