[sweetlory77]

GREAT!!!

[taradare1]

which brand is that

[1lucid]

only just come across you dude but you are insane are these your own samples or are they downloaded? got any tips for starting out ? im used to beatboxing but wanna switch to real drum sounds ...

[greyface74]

forreal tho they should rename that machine after you bro...real talk...i mean you working that mu'phucka

[Kbo3o3]

HEAT, i was lookin thru ur videos and i think your dopest stuff is all the tracks where ur just by yourself, heh.......i dunno im a turntablist so i respect the remix thing and your overrall freestyle type finger skillz., seems like u get to let loose by yourself just like a dj when he scratches on his own....

[11111111jws]

You kick ass on that piece of crap! I got one but you got it down! Does anyone need a drummer? Nice bro.

[tivypimp13]

omg this is so amazing. you are amazing my man

[a2sidedcoin]

OMG.. is that a freakin Alesis Sequencer?! I used to own one of those, lol

[djopm]

Is that the HR16 or HR16B?

[dopemcee]

i dont get where the snare drum is?? cuz soemtimes i swear hes hitting the hi hat but with both fingers/hands and yet i still hear a damn snre...how?

[EnjoyYourAirSupport]

@dopemcee look at his right thumb

[mellowdrips]

HOLY SHIT

[ElJefeUltimo]

You're amazing. I've watched literally all your videos over the past two hours. As a fellow drummer, I'm constantly looking for rap/hiphop songs without drums. Where'd you find this version/can you send it to me?

Thanks and keep on doing your thing!

[timothybowen5]

He will make many women happy..

[zooby11isbambam]

he's like... doing double strokes... with his fingers... ,':~o

[Inkaman]

M.A.E.S.T.R.O. ;-) RASpect.

[bodyextreme]

sssss

[DevastatingDavizz]

Amazing!!!

[Zoltan123456789]

This is better than the original!

[skeet007]

why dont you buy a new pad midi controller? bigger pads... you'll rock even better...

[DigitalJediMaster]

@skeet007 It didn't exist in 2006. Check his more recent videos.

[TheMatthewClary]

@skeet007 Yeah, like he can get any better! This is the format/layout that he knows. Probably no reason to relearn his methods!

[joceeco]

This guy is a musical god (little g) on earth.

[DomingozToPan]

is that the same "Fingers" who did some good work on the "Smell my Finger" Album by Suga Free ??

[jejegustave]

Hallucinant!

[hibrydrythims]

la wea chistosa, le suena hasta groove, jajajjaja

[fnkdrmr86]

lol! LAME

[mixxinmel]

one of the masters at electronic drumming, good video bro.

[HammondB200]

Its called talent, only people who have it themselves are able to recognize it.

[CarpathiaS]

yeh sure. its talent but doing a song like this isnt really a good way of showing the talent. i hope more ppl can agree with me on that

[Nismology5]

what is the HR-16 controlling? What is actually generating the drum samples?

[theendcredits]

ToonTrack superior drummer 2.0

[HammondB200]

I thought he uses EZdrummer

[popitn2nd]

hey what model is that?

[munk18]

wow! i use me HR-16 all the time and i can never get this pad response. did you tape up the pads?

great video!

[bennyvx08]

Sadly enough, I dont have the room for a complete drumset. So im thinkin' baout buying a simular device for makin' drum tracks...

thanks for the idea mr. Haynes

[ThatNiggaThere00]

thumbs up indeed! shit that was insane

[TheDynasty57]

[sone519]

[sprecker]

IVan K

[wheezyfbaby911]

that shit was tight fam what kind of drum machine is that??

[bowiemott]

Its the Alesis HR-16B, which is now something of a vintage drum machine. It is quite basic and the sound set is quite limited in comparison to what you can get today. however this guy makes it sound great. While I've seen people play these things live, I've not seen anyone make it work so well.

[jeffillinois]

They don't call him "Fingers" for nothing... Better keep him away from your ladies, boys... Or you might be sleepin' alone tonight.. *snicker*

Keep rockin, David! Great stuff!

[kokid03]

WHOW!

OMFG!

[Thaqib]

Respect!

[wertzx]

dude. im gon stick to my pro-mark nylon tips. that was crazy for finger drumming. some of tht stuff i could do easily with a real kit but most of it was like WOW!!!!!

[jrok260]

OMG @ 2:26

[jrok260]

omg...BEAST

[tgthedrummer]

best outro ever

[strakatoboi]

can anyone tell me what brand of drum machine is he using?

[NommosM41]

That's an Alesis HR-16 drum machine (circa '89)

This dude is SICK! :)

[UgotzTaChiLL]

talented

[betatestersrule08]

DAMN!....nice drumming...that was insane!..i like it

you should ask ashanti out....you should be her drummer

[lennard07]

Dude, I like this, but just get back on drums.

[88karats]

This is God's blessings with the limits off, Lord take the limilts off of my gift as well to be a blessing and to minister.

[kokid03]

I think I'll keep using my stick.

I'm not een going to try that.

[squeakD]

If Alesis had ANY kind of brains at all they'd hire David to do a promotional video of their newest drum machine that finally replaces the ever so dated SR-16. David could do wonders for their sales.

[obstinaat]

Hi David,

to my opinion you are beyond anything on drums i`ve seen or heart before, you`re greater sorry greatest!

Is that an alesis hr 16 you`re tapping?

Can`t remember the knobs beein`so sensitive..?

Mine always played "hard to get";-) as I remember. Best wishes

[snupeluva]

I like what U got...i love how U got it back in pocket..lol

[raosinc]

once I posted a comment on another video you posted...

Can you do the drums in the drummachine of some heavy music like death metal or something like that? if you can, let me know, so that I can ask you a song... I'm really interrested in that drummachine stuff, wish I had one to practice!

[DanielRobertFrosT]
