David Haynes
Mitte der neunziger Jahre sorgte ein junger Amerikaner auf Drumfestivals und Musikmessen für Furore. Mit einer handlichen Drum Machine bewaffnet, legte David Haynes mit zwei Fingern Grooves aufs Parkett, für die andere ein großes Fusion-Besteck benötigten. Mit atemberaubender Schnelligkeit und beeindruckendem Feel begleitete er auf die-sen kleinen Pads dadurch bereits in jungen Jahren etliche bekannte Szene-Ikonen. Heute ist er nicht nur der Großmei-ster des Fingerdrummings, sondern auch am Drumset zu einem weltweit gefragten Musiker avanciert. Übrigens: David Haynes ist der Schlagzeuger der Till Brönner Band. Er spielte auch u.a. mit Prince, Chaka Khan, Lee Ritenour, Joe Za-winul und viele andere.
