Blige, Lee Ritenour, Frank Ocean, Arrested Development, and so many more. He is also the pioneer of finger drumming, hence his name David “Fingers” Haynes. We are going to talk about all of these things, his technique and the equipment that he uses, and he is going to share some amazing stories from his time in the industry.
