[jemiho]

you are Davemazing! Man you are the Truth !!

[PaddyWattaFikki]

fckin amazing oO

[Harlew]

He's have to be a pro to have all that information!!!

[TheLastRealOne]

Holy crap, that's unreal

[heartbeat6000]

cool

[EFKA526]

dude, that is just great. I owned an Alesis HR16, too, so I know that it needs a good feeling to play such patterns. You are the true god of midi drum pad/controller beats!

[rectalbomb]

damn, if you have rhythm like that why not just play regular drums. i mean i guess its more cost efficient and doesnt take up space but it seems odd to be known as a drum machine master lol

[xiro0999]

@rectalbomb

He is a professional drummer too...

[trevioio]

@ActOnInstinkt976 looks like an Alesis HR16:B

[bsfreq]

Damn! Got to go and find my jaw somewhere from the floor..

Had to watch this a few times too. You funky!

[Mexymillion]

That's fuckin crazyyyy

[SubSanteria]

this guy is good but you should check out JEL he is a crazy man on the mpc

[TheDaftGang]

@SubSanteria dude....Jel's got nothing on this guy. You're fuckin retarded ahhaha. JEL is just playin breakbeats. this guy's on another level completely.

[byjuu246]

I was doing this on my

yamaha drum machine

back in the early 90's. I wanted to reach this

level, but the Musicman

bass was my main

source of income. Your doing a great job!!!!!!

[LBCskate]

NICE WATCH LOL

[mellowdrips]

HOLY SHIT

[JailhouseRN]

Impressive indeed, but can you do that on a drum kit? I can... (but I can't do it on a machine, I'll be the first to admit). You and Roy 'Future Man' Wooten should hook up, would be a very good battle.

[tjthegreat7]

@JailhouseRN yeah he can

[bryankho]

Whoa! Mad skills... I am in awe :-)

[00Dakka]

MOAR COWBELL

[Branman1994]

[vomiol]

@Branman1994 Alesis HR-16

[COMPUTERSbeats]

wouldn't be surprised if he's related to the great roy haynes!

[specialness16]

brilliant :)

[gobig911]

who ever said drum machines have no soul. so amazing!

[clarkem]

That is an HR-16B. I used to have the HR-16, it was an incredible drum machine especially for its time. I could not dream of playing it like that. That was superb.

[benjkeys]

What a groove! You are so Blessed!

[cliffo50]

ne12call, I think you have been sucking too much cock…. I guess if David’s timing is so bad, you can obviously do better? Would that be reasonable to assume?

[32scars]

Super cool fast funky finger work my friend

[ChocoChuck]

Amazing. Overall great job at being dope. Are you on the Alesis HR16?

[clarkem]

@ChocoChuck HR16B.

[lucpawlus10]

sweet

[tamaire1664]

wow

[AaronKilledIt]

aha he's black! :D

[TheGerthax]

@AaronKilledIt lol

[ne12call]

I am not feeling this. I guess I am impressed by speed but he is way out of rhythm on some parts moving from a 4-4 to a 3-4 indiscriminately. But hey he hits a ton of buttons!

[THRAPYST]

David ur crazy on the pads and kit. Can u tell me what would be a good drum pad for my son. He plays drums but I want get him a pad 4 his birthday. Thanks!!

[dronejones]

what piece of gear is this. that David is killing it on?? anyone know??? please help me I need to know much appreciated

[gadget183]

Gadget guy here nice

[ZachMcKay]

Seems pretty simple to me but nice work.

[pezmandarin]

I played my self on a drum machine (R-8) long time ago ('87), and a very dear friend of mine recomend me to watch your playin' and the only thing I can say about this is that, no matter what instrument, device or new gear, it's out there, it always come down to the same, DEDICATION, HARD WORK, DIRECTION and the most important your SOUL, WILL GET YOU ANYWHERE...

Thanks for showing us that,,, IT CAN BE DONE!!!!

GOD BLESS

Saludos desde Cancún, México

[ccricers]

Jazzy drumming is hardcore. It doesn't matter whether they're programmed or played live. It takes some big skills to do jazz drums.

[BokorugroRR]

Do you have anything to do with Roy Haynes? :)

[Cirkit311]

nice shirt dude!

[mykeycity]

Absolutely crafty.

[jottoh12]

Yikes...another level entirely from what I have heard before. Makes me want to run out and buy a drum machine...tonight!

[omegazero16]

i have one, but it hink im gonna scrap it. after watching this, i have no need for it now

[Scorge120]

look at this guy groove! cool stuff!

[C94H]

1:26 think...

[MASSRCOR]

cool vid \m/

[sickonsticks12]

awesome

[mouthbreather1]

Goddamn, I wish my HR-16 worked.

[BentRobotArm]

Hey MB1 it might be the internal battery. My friend buys/sells and circuit bends them. it could be an easy fix. cheers.

[mouthbreather1]

It's got 2 problems: the power jack's a little messed up (if the plug isn't in at an exact angle it doesn't turn on) and there's no audio out. I haven't had the time to try & repair either problem though.

[DOKTOR242]

Alesis • HR-16

[thorndendale]

I'd like to know what kind of drum machine he's using?

[DOKTOR242]

Alesis • HR-16

[queteimportaguey]

the neighbors must like him! Better than real drums if you live in a small apartment! And he groooooves!

[MaynoDolphin]

Great live playing.

[Dubconferencedotorg]

I do not like bots ... but this i do like :)

[SinnerJ]

Amazing.

[dronejones]

I here people sayin get the MPC I own the MPC2000XL and I absolutely love it.. BUT does David even sample.. I was under the impression that these sounds were not sampled, rather given through internal sounds or USB through some type of program..any help???

[KnittingRam]

I think the hr16 is what gives this novelty its charm.. And if you've heard him play this attached to easy drummer, you know he doesn't need an mpc or anything else..

[pamonharegina]

uma bosta

[remon8989]

すげー

[sevenwords7]

far from amazing

[fm2u2]

Mr Haynes how can I get in touch with you to do a guest appearance?

[DHaynesakafingerrs]

@fm2u2 - Hey There! Glad you like what I'm doing. You can reach me at davidfingershaynes@.com

[GregorEicher]

get yourself a mpc

[mrblazey]

awesome, you should try getting a something with velocity sensitive pads tho like an mpc , would sound a lot liver. but as i said, awesome!

[subtracktion]

mrblazey - This drum machine has velocity sensitivity.

[m333tt]

i could just imagine girls saying "i dont want your dick....give me them fingers mother fucker"

[wildcomfort88]

@m333tt imagine he just whipped out his dick and started whacking it on the drum machine as good as he does with his fingers. then them girls would want all of his shit.

[electronicsociety]

Great Stuff Cool Shirt

[iialves]

[iialves]

AWESOME RHYTMIC FEELING. GENIUS

[iialves]

PLEASE tell me the name of this thing.

i need to buy one .

david , you are great.

thanks!

[woodros]

legend

[987654321ck]

You dipshits who are only concerned with what equipment he uses need to redirect your attention. Do you ask a poet what brand pencils he uses?

[hobbesthecat7]

you might ask a painter what canvas he uses... jackass. u must not make electronic music

[jonnyl94]

This is unbelievably good, however you don't have the right to call someone a jackass simply for asking a question like that. He was merely asking. You're the jackass for saying something like that.

The drum machine is the Alesis HR-16. I'm sure the arrogance was just a lack of knowledge on hobbesthecat7's part.

[mariodevil]

You might...

[youvegotbighands]

YES

[pezmandarin]

@rtoolio HAHAHA WELL SAID!!!

[Drummerkid74]

@rtoolio Oh!!! Give me some water!!!! I need to put some on that nasty BURN!!!! haha

"sigh"

[KillaKOfK3]

You is the reason I got the Nanopad! LOL!!!

[BooogieLongo]

[mouthbreather1]

Goddamn... makes me wish my HR16 wasn't a broken piece of shit.

[iceman2933]

[thosepeoples]

oh god that's inhuman

[LOLE1991KOVIN]

Amazingly good fill at 1:30, hell yeah!!! :D

[oppositronic]

nice shirt

[flamtap2001]

Believe me one and all, whatever David can play on this machine he can play on a regular kit. Let's face it anyone that has played for 'Prince' on tour has to be baaaad. David is just that!

[gtizzy777]

how much something like this cost? how long have you been playing? you're pretty amazing.

[nordemoniac]

Korg padKONTROL gives you what you need. And EZ Drummer

[not2secure4u]

It isnt, there are a lot of people who do this.

[RozenTheOne]

Ignorance is funny :D

[brianesams]

HOLY SHIT!! (as I pick up my jaw from the floor...)

[iStonner]

1:30 ish.... Awesome!

[Metamophisis]

You are a real life drummer on your machine man!

[alessandrillo]

O.O

[dubscarab]

Not bad.

[Diverseonthetube]

lol who ever invented dat groove box aint expect someone evea to kill it like dat.

[funkystivo]

Great stuff!

[01Biggs]

i wonder if this dude can play drums fareal!?? lol. does anybody know anything about this?

[filipdinev1]

I think he knows, because he couldn't play all these fills and beats if he wasn't a real drummer.

[bnlf]

yes and hes a good one. just check his other videos theres a few of him playing real drums.

[Gnarm0]

watch in his channel, other vids, yes he can, very good

[kamarulx]

ERMM... sorry guys this might be a stupid question but is there a foot pedal he's playing?

noob

[marc777danielle]

naw dude, i saw him do the same thing at Guitar Center

[andrewww1987]

i dont think so

[kamarulx]

heh,, i guess it's just a groove thingy..

[CoOlTy3000]

What the Fuc*???? Man you TIGHT!

[tigerarmyrox]

fucking sick man you should do beats for erykha badu or somethin by the way nice shirt

[Pixy202]

I do this on my laptop with the keyboard and the side bit where it's flat...

Hehe

[dannyfatboy08]

OMG this is rediculous this is amazing man

[RxStylez]

Nice Skills.

Fast fingers :O.

I think he rock with guitar hero.

[jsh4drum]

this guy might be the most talented person on earth. unbelievable!!

[dankgeetar]

oh my god, that is incredible! do you plat kit too?

[marc777danielle]

i met this guy like a year ago. really humble guy. he was complimenting me on my playing and i thanked him and thought nothing of it until i saw him sit behind a kit(this was at guitar center). best believe everything he plays on a drum machine he can play on a kit.

[jubeidono]

Well... one could argue about the humble part. I have yet to meet a huble person who calls himself amazing and gives himself nicknames ("fingers", lol).

[marc777danielle]

get off of the negativity. besides someone gave him that nick name and you never met him so make an informed comment about him. and ironicly i sensed a hint of know-it-all pride in your comment. stop lobbing brick because you're living in a glass house.

[xxxslayerxxx666]

that could just be a joke dude...you never KNOW anyone...so many people that i don't know have said im an emo kid just because of my screen name, but i'm not, i liked slayer when i made this profile, i wouldn't have done that faggy xxx shit u see all the tiime if i could've just put slayer666...that just shows how judgmental people can be...i myself on rare occasions

[oscarballestas]

faciliiiiiiito !!!

[Aplustradomus]

Real sick..

[rezaudio]

PLEASE do some iPhone drum stuff!?!? Let us have it.

[rezaudio]

Marvellous stuff! Love it.

[sclogse1]

Sell me some midi files of jazz drums for my 880.

[turbomoonie]

[Aplustradomus]

That was a good one..I was over here dieing laughing!

[dlgyswo]

[Tubber40]

Yea - so I see comments like this and I think "cool ... let's look at his page" - Mmm supprise SUPPRISE there's NOTHING there!?

[HammondB200]

[JazzzPianist]

[ecarromeana]

[Halo3sniper41306]
