David 'Fingers' Haynes

David Haynes is a world renowned musician. His initial entry into the music industry came at a show called, “Drummer’s Meeting in Koblenz,” Germany.

While in Germany, David performed in numerous venues all over Europe and was asked to be part of the Music Meese, the European version of NAMM. Being in the right place at the right time, David’s notoriety increased and lead to such meetings with artists Sheila E (of Prince fame), Rhonda Smith, bass player, Kat Dyson, guitar player and the eventual recording sessions with Prince recorded at Paisley Park. David has worked with numerous artists, such as Prince, Chaka Khan, Mary J. Blige, Stanley Jordan and Lee Ritenour to new a few.

Now David is back in Atlanta with a mission to become the best musician he can. "I always wanted to play the drums but when i got on my brother Darryl's kit at age 11, he wasn't so happy about it. Little did I know that the Lord was preparing me to develope a way to sound like a real drummer by playing a drummachine with MY FINGERS!!"

Over time, David's unique style of drumming, ezspecially, his finger-drumming led him to being featured on the front page of Youtube for almost three weeks. One of his videos has garnered over 550,000 hits and over 1.3 million hits for all of them in total. If there are any common denominators when it comes to David Haynes, they are spirit and musicality.
