I have never thought that I would watch an entire video of a guy playing drum. But this is already the third videos of him that I’m watching.
I can't stop either
i have same feeling man! I am doing it at 3am in my bed and I really have no idea why I'm doing it but I like it! =)
There's nothing quite like watching a master musician play his instrument. Heck I'll listen to music that I would never listen to on it's own if I can watch a master musician playing it. Entertaining for sure!
Wow scintillating
super
I bet you this guy is never late.
Lol
Hahahahhhh
That ain't no shit
Never early too
😁😉
He decides what time it is...
Damn right
D W Conrad man ,that made me laugh
D W Conrad Yo this comment is everything 🤘🏽
Ohh god.
1:25 The no look double cymbal hit, and grab, while not missing a beat that follows it immediately is next level. Sugarfoot is an unbelievably talented drummer. The confidence level behind the kit is definitely tough to match.
A performance dele foi exatamente a que o Michael fazia nos palcos...observe para ver...show
That shit was CRAZY!!!!
Yeah he the truth 🔥🔥🔥
😭😭😭😭
Rhythm is not just memorized. It's in flowing in his blood.... wonderful.
Honestly, I feel like everyone can do it. You just have to lose yourself in the flow/groove of the music. Your body will naturally just catch on. If over think and try to memorize the song it wont work. It takes discipline
Exactly!!
I don't see him play as much as watching him listening and enjoying... He is breathing not playing!! Amazing rhythm and flow
Dr.Madhavan Neyveli this guy is literally born to play drums s
@@MrAgodine you telling me he went full ultra instinct
I believe that rhythm & groove is in your blood. You either have the music or you don’t. This man has the soul of a dozen musicians!
Jackson would never hire a normal person.. The guy’s a beast ..
Jackson?
Katherine?
I'd guess
@@PraveenSharma-wz3qk should know the context by now
Harsha Suri He hired Eddie Van Halen for the solo. He always looked for the best in his music
Yeee
His drumming is so clean it can purify the ocean.
his drumming is so clean he doesnt even need sanitization before he goes out during lockdown
@@clarencechung122 His drumming is so clean he makes Mr. Clean Jealous
@@archangelrapheal5231 his drumming is so clean my phone stopped lagging
Atomic clocks are measured for accuracy against this clinical drumming perfection
that's an old school drummer ... a person who keeps it simple, and enjoy his drumming time!
god damn , exactly ! god damn i love truth bru
Bro there is nothing simple on doing this 1:25
"I can do a lot of things, but I don't, because it's not necessary."
Jonathan Moffet, in this exact interview.
1:25 that choke alone can defeat thanos
Fucking A
Very well said! 👏🏼
damn right
He could still beat every single one of us in a drum off
Hahaha 😂😂😂
This guy arrives to the studio not one second earlier or later than stated.
he arrives precisely when he means to
Lollllll 🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha
I think this reference is taken from Whiplash.
@@ashishashoksingh4227 ive never seen it so i dont think so.
There's something so satisfying about seeing the best skilled people doing what they do best.
The legend says that the man in the background is still nodding
👌🏿😝🤣🤣🤣🤣
If I were that guy in the background, I'd be nodding too!
That's the Ghost of Dennis Nedry
he's wearing a vest and no shirt what a legend
Old school rock style I guess 🤣
We call this jacksonality
And paper mache pants
It's a waistcoat not a vest.
Omg im dying with all the comments here haha.
3:01 that double cymbal hit was ON POINT
Nicee
BEAST
Wow beautiful, reminds me good old times.
Yes , especially when no covid19
@@gurusekolah4318 kol
To all drummers out there. Stop over playing! Make sure you develop a strong backbeat like this. That's the money maker!!
U listening cooper drummer. He's the king of over playing.
Well said Drum 4 Fun! Lars Ulrich, are you listening?
@@waynekerr8003 he over plays but makes it sound good too some just over do it
Phil Rudd comes close to Moffett's timing
How do i over play the table?
EPIC! The "choke" at 1:26 came out of nowhere! Can't wait for the next upload I-( " , )-I
Yeah that was rad! I’d like to try n put my cymbals in that position, see how it feels.
also known as the "double crash behind the head , no look , steal your girl combo"
the impressive bit is the "choke" is exactly on the quarter note.... and then just gets into rhythm again... not a bother... SugarHands :)
I loved that part. I had no idea that it had a technical name. Thanks for teaching me something today lol
Inge Richardsen x
I love Sugarfoot’s intensity when he plays. He’s like a tiger pouncing with perfect timing. Happy Birthday JM!
Dudes a robot. Probably made these videos all one take in a half hour😂😂…. Pure legend
@@ryanbernard4769 I’m pretty sure this was an excerpt from a Drumeo livestream. That’s Dave Atkinson in the background. So...one take.
@@robertkay9349 ahhh makes sense I mean really he could do this back to back for a decade straight
This man do not need metronome. He's got his neck instead.
thank u.. i didnt see that.
@@bobochan4699 I am glad I helped you
As soon as the beat started up you can see his facial expression change to all business. Awesome cymbal grabs. Beat was dead on, not over playing. This is a lesson for all future drummer's. You don't have to fit in a bunch of fills to sound great. Once again great video.
Michigan Matt well, it depends on the intention. As a drummer, I will play even such an easy thing but if we/I need a more interesting composition, I add stuff as I see drums equal to all instruments. It works in here but tracks like R U Mine? would be nothing without the syncopation courtesy of Matt Helders ;)
It because MJ was all business when it comes to his songs and performance
depends on what the music requires. this is pop... very much a formula... lay the back beat so the song can preform
Scott Whittle ye but just because it's pop it doesn't mean you can't have something more. Fills are obvious but I personally would, for example, try to use the whole note triplet divisions to create a back-beat. Check out Clocks, when Chris sings with that kind of beat underneath, it sounds like he's moving further
Yeah behind the head hit and grab and not missing a beat. Nice.
imagine you could look back in life and you´ve been michael jackson's drummer. F***. so cool and he is still into it.
The joy on the face of the sound engineer next to him says it all
Just goes to show how much work goes into making a song. Singers get the credit most of the time but where would they be without the musicians. Mad respect for the background folks who make it happen.
Most of you will not believe this, but I actually had the honor to work with him. His persona is as excellent as his expertise as a drummer. The most down to earth, humble genius I've been blessed to work with. God bless you Jonathan!
We believe you
I first read your post as horror instead of honor but the context of your comment didn't work so had to double check.
I've met this guy in Florida in 2003 , the funny part is I had no idea who he was until a few hrs later.
I call bullshit
You are lucky..his facial expressions reveal he is a humble person
His drumming so clean, doctors use it to sterilize wounds.
lmao
Doubt it. Modern medicine would be far better than a dirty drumstick.
@@dilbertdoe601 he is talking about his drumming technique, not about his kit.
😂
Tgdtf😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄🍻👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🥰🥰👍👍😄👍👍😄🤑😀😁😁😁😊😋😎
The smile before he beings and then boom the game face, Damn this man means business
This is like the 50th time watching this, I just can’t get over his groove, feel, and precision
NO F@#KING KIDDING...IM WITH..!!!!!👍✌👌!!!!!
Some drummers have great feel/groove (Phil Rudd, Charlie Watts) and some have great technical ability (Neil Peart, John Bonham), but this guy is the perfect mix of both
smokeslet'sgo don’t forget ringo
When you are so technical you become groovy smooth, that's Sugarfoot
@@DavidAesir25 dude, neil peart is worshipped wayyyyyyy more as a drummer. I don't even think most people know that neil peart writes lyrics
@@DavidAesir25 no, people know him more as drummer than a lyricist!
@@iForgot160 😂😂😂
His face the whole time is the face of a true legend
Yeah your right
he’s having a conversation with that drum set 🤙🏻✌🏻
In his prime, the most-in-demand drummer in the world.
This guy is absolutely a beast. I don't play drums but it's clear that his timing is terryfing, beyond perfection.
I remember seeing michael jackson in concert as a kid.. During the BAD tour.
Your skill and stamina on the drums is off the charts.
These no music understand people may not recognize what you do. But those of us with some experience in music or band understand.
To be able to keep up that tempo with michael's songs through a whole concert with basically no breaks. RESPECT!!
What a solid snare!!! And that choke at 1:26 is just unreal. What a legend!
definitely the cleanest/smoothest I've seen
True that. I was awestruck !
👍🏼👍🏼
Y'all got to understand that's skills at 1:26 with that choke
Rodney Davis Yeah that was fucking unreal.
He used the time stone.
If Bruce Lee played drums...
you obviously (and all of those who are amazed) know shit about playing drums... all MJ songs were pretty basic when it comes to drums...
@@user-qm7bp4ul5t they have to wath Jeff Porcaro and Toto. Thats the real skilled shit
you can see him flashbacks of michael performing on stage. he really looked kinda sad playing. RIP MJ
How on earth can you be so talented? Perfect drumming gives me the chills. you are the number 1 king of drummers!
Only Sugarfoot at 1:26.
RoccoSoundTube x
That's not from practice you gotta feel that in the moment
Awesome
The groove and timing are incredible! So tight and just perfect.
I’ve always loved his drumming. Him and Ringo are my favorite drummers of all time!
1:25 I love the way he held the drum bell with his hand after hitting it ❤
I totally missed understood what "beat it" was about. MJ is singing an ode to SugarFoot.
chuck bowen what is an ode
@@pink_pnthr6208 ode its like a vouch or honor to the person
@@zackfair1868 what is a vouch
@@mattmoves5920 what is what
Man, I hope this is true
Yoooo the double choke @1:25 was tooo smooooth! Sheesh!
for more chokes in the complete interview ruclips.net/video/uRGTT4Y6LnA/видео.html
Damn 1.25 is a godly moment...
I've tried this today and now i'm in a hospital bed with an immobilized shoulder
Almost criminally smooth! See what I did there :)) ?
Love the guy in the back... You can tell it's like a treat for him to be working with the drummer
No offbeat explorations of uncontrolled rhythms, just precision of world class discipline, Michael had excellent musicians and performance standards! 👏 🏆🎹🏆🥁🏆🌎
It takes a lot of discipline for a professional world-class drummer to play like that, he could probably tear it apart on the drums 100%, but that's called discipline, that's called playing what's needed and making sure everything you are playing is perfect. Very well done complete world-class musician right there!
Estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo! Estoy es de lo más difícil, mantener ésta disciplina sin desviarse y sonar tan limpio y perfecto, cómo lo está haciendo él, por algo está entre los mejores de la historia, sin duda.
Because he knows he is not the star but the costar and THAT my FRIEND is what makes this man a shining STAR!!!!
Simple beat! Yet perfectly played without overdoing fills!! Those stop back cymbals were amazing! Almost like a hi hat sizzle mute!!
One of the most dynamic drummer I have ever heard, love to hear him play!
What a pleasure and privilege to watch this legend perform smiling to the camera like if he was standing still for a photograph, hats off.
Insane double grab..dynamics outta sight.
Michael was right.
There can be only one.
I think all bassists agree.
I do.
#peace #sugarfoot
That double grab was pure wizardry. FACK.
Is it just me or does he not hit the left hand cymbal?
It's a pleasure to finally meet u after all those years watching mj now I see the man behind the most epic drums... legend 🙏👍🏼🕺🏽
You are an amazing drummer. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone who can play like that. Thank you for your work and sharing your talent with us!
I love watching him ...folks that's a professional right there .he is as good as it gets . Michael always had the best musicians as well he should .great job .RIP Michael you'll always be missed
This guy alone is responsible for billions of people nodding to his beats!! WOW ❤️
1:25 and I say damn DAAAAAMN
insane! haha
Daaamn!! He really feels music. What a Genius!!
Straight ninja move!
He's a Beast!! Finally the drummers of some of these iconic songs getting credit due!
Performance perfeita!! Show...show!! Monstro esse BATERISTA!! PROFISSIONALISMO!! Completo...
sugarfoot is never late, nor he is early. he arrives precisely when he means to.
the guys is a wizard dammit
You are an absolute zen master of drumming!
Colt Halvorson I read that as “an @$$hile zen master” somehow...
Zen Master of Drumming is the best description yet. :-)
Jonathan moffet
Before Performance : 😂😂
During Performance : 😐😐
He's feeling it
He's focused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's playing like Michael's still performing.
MY MAN IS LOCKED 🔒 ALL THE WAY IN!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
100% focused, MJ was a perfeccionist, sugarfoot must have been trough some serious schedule every single day to play in the band
Man, I can watch this a million times and still enjoy watching you!
I don't know if I can get enough of Jonathan's performances. Brilliant!
1:25 I love that slick cymbal grab
3:01 He knows his drums better than I my own neighbourhood
*home
I can't even find my nose with that level of precision.
such an awesome song, must have been so privileged to be a part of Micheal's history. Awesome work and thanks for the awesome video Rest In Peace Micheal
That was amazing my friend live the legend and Michael Jackson..
Beauty in a beat. Drumming is to me like a heartbeat. I appreciate this performance. This is a master class and a gift to all musicians. Awesome.
Awesome beats, awesome music and awesome song. Great the legend - Michael Jackson.
He is a powerhouse, great energy! He's impressive, one of the greetest drummers
Leyenda total 💞 me encanta ver a este hombre tocando con tanta precisión. 👏
Los tiempos que lleva son perfectos 👌
Michael always had the best! The drummer works like a swiss clock
Paracletus Revelation , no better way to describe him...
Paracletus Revelation I read Swiss cock
@Michael Jackson What symbols are you talking about? Cymbals... dumb fuck!
Michael Jackson wow you’re very mature. I can tell by your extensive vocabulary/use of big words. 🤦🏽♂️😂🤪🤣😜
@Michael Jackson nigga
Legend Michael Jackson
Legend Jonathan Moffett
Very good !!
01:24 I was like damn! when I saw him hitting those two in the first place I was like bad ass, them I saw him dampen those at the same time and that's double bad ass!!
Things I admire:
1) Your creative cymbal work
2) The simplicity of rhythm in such a iconic song
But that one crash cymbal stand at your 10 o'clock position looked pretty tipsy. ;)
mrrtftzfogp123123123
I agree @mrp123123123... The man used the cymbals next to his head for a quick open hi-hat... Incredible 1:25... I enjoy watching him play. Simple but effective.
It's incredible! Who whould thought of that! Still, the song and all of the instruments all gel! =) Love this music! Thank you for bringing us this to us!
I agreed. but please, don't forget: this man have one of better all-times single pedal technique. i listen MJ (with this incredible drum lines) for some reason. this man is legendary.
So deep in the pocket.
Metronome looks at “Sugar foot” and says “ I’ll be good daddy”
You are BRILLIANT, Jonathan!!! You are awesome! God bless you!!!!!!!
Can watch this all day and never get bored. Skill, talent, ability, knowledge, the list goes on. Simply waoh!
That's what I did today! 😂😂😂😂
You are an truly amazing drummer and you've got style.
Legend is always legends... time doesnt matter... his stick sounds tells everything...
This man is absolutely phenomenal! I enjoy watching his work. Deserves much earned respect and recognition. He seems like a genuine good hearted down to earth fella who simply loves life. God bless this guy and wish him continued success in life. 👍
I also love Michael Jackson's music
Amazing. Its a marvel just watching him
You can tell right away he is a pro live musician, head up, looking at the stage to the performer and the other musicians, very connected and focused on what he's doing.
Perfect💯
I've never seen perfection like this. He plays it the same way every time. Look at the videos from the past. Insane. I guess if your gonna back the greatest music star of all time, you better have perfection wanting your number.
I was never that interested in drums until I saw this phenomenal legend
Original drums on Beat It we played by Jeff Porcaro of Toto, RIP Jeff, one of the best ever.
Jeff had some grooves as well..
Jeff had real finesse. His discography says it all.
I was not a MJ fan but for me, you are the perfect drummer alive in every sense, and, trying to study and understand your awsome technique, chops, creativity etc - because I’m a drummer too - I became a MJ fan as I was listening so often to the music in the background. I love you!
How are you not a MJ fan 🤦🏾♂️
Alex Suciu Yo Jeff Procaro of Toto was the guy who actually drummed on this song. This guy played with Mike on tour. If you wanna study drumming check out Jeff.
Bullshit!!! Listen to a Casio keyboard, sugar foot wrote those too! Amazing? In what way? Not on any top 500 list...no offence to him but snooze fest
Producer:
How many cymbals do you need?
Jonathan: YES
Im watching this so many times already!!! This relieves so much stress from my body!! I WISH FOR MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS! LIKE COVERS OF CLASSIC SONGS WITH AWESOME BEATS
Just opened this at my work desk. My boss was about to give me an ass kick but.... He ended up watching this awesomeness with me. Things that only Sugarfoot does....
is your boss Paula Dean?
Wow, really? Fun story. :D
Leon Sugarfoot??
Mateus Gurjão lol.
r/thathappened
If Mike Tyson had a brother who played drums.....
You are right
Drumth
Mike may have been iron, but Jonathan is gold.
I was thinking oj simpson
hahahahaha😊
Picking my first drum kit up tomorrow.. All because of you jonathan!
Totally amazing....
I got goosebumps...
Amazing performance 🤗🤗🤗
Great insight! Perfect example of discipline and not overplaying.. sticking to the melody.
I'm like the guy in the background while watching this video.
Such grace !!
Man the beat is in his blood, is so so precise. Salute
For a commoner like me, I know that he's a great musician when the sound engineer or whoever that guy next to him has an endless smile & looks like he's about to burst dancing at anytime.
He's simply AMAZING!!! HAND SPEED, CHOPS CHOPS CHOPS & I SEEN SOMEONE POST HE'S 63...🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I love the way that he creates the rythm🥰
