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.
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
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 🔥🔥🔥
😭😭😭😭
I bet you this guy is never late.
Lol
Hahahahhhh
That ain't no shit
Never early too
😁😉
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
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!
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.
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.
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 😂😂😂
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
There's something so satisfying about seeing the best skilled people doing what they do best.
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?
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
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.
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.
Atomic clocks are measured for accuracy against this clinical drumming perfection
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
3:01 that double cymbal hit was ON POINT
Nicee
BEAST
The smile before he beings and then boom the game face, Damn this man means business
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 !
👍🏼👍🏼
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 😂😂😂
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
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
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😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄🍻👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🥰🥰👍👍😄👍👍😄🤑😀😁😁😁😊😋😎
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
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.
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
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..!!!!!👍✌👌!!!!!
Wow beautiful, reminds me good old times.
Yes , especially when no covid19
@@gurusekolah4318 kol
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.
1:25 I love the way he held the drum bell with his hand after hitting it ❤
This guy is absolutely a beast. I don't play drums but it's clear that his timing is terryfing, beyond perfection.
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
Love the guy in the back... You can tell it's like a treat for him to be working with the drummer
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!!!!
The groove and timing are incredible! So tight and just perfect.
you can see him flashbacks of michael performing on stage. he really looked kinda sad playing. RIP MJ
Legend Michael Jackson
Legend Jonathan Moffett
Very good !!
Only Sugarfoot at 1:26.
RoccoSoundTube x
That's not from practice you gotta feel that in the moment
Awesome
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! 😂😂😂😂
Yoooo the double choke @1:25 was tooo smooooth! Sheesh!
for more chokes in the complete interview th-cam.com/video/uRGTT4Y6LnA/w-d-xo.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 :)) ?
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!!
How on earth can you be so talented? Perfect drumming gives me the chills. you are the number 1 king of drummers!
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.
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.
No offbeat explorations of uncontrolled rhythms, just precision of world class discipline, Michael had excellent musicians and performance standards! 👏 🏆🎹🏆🥁🏆🌎
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. :-)
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 🙏👍🏼🕺🏽
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.
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
He's a Beast!! Finally the drummers of some of these iconic songs getting credit due!
Amazing. Its a marvel just watching him
Leyenda total 💞 me encanta ver a este hombre tocando con tanta precisión. 👏
Los tiempos que lleva son perfectos 👌
This guy alone is responsible for billions of people nodding to his beats!! WOW ❤️
Human metronome. Awesome work.
He's simply AMAZING!!! HAND SPEED, CHOPS CHOPS CHOPS & I SEEN SOMEONE POST HE'S 63...🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
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.
I don't know if I can get enough of Jonathan's performances. Brilliant!
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.
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.
Great insight! Perfect example of discipline and not overplaying.. sticking to the melody.
Perfect. Like the last beat against the final boss from a 80`s game.
The beat is so right.. just feel it! feel it!!!! Feel it!!!
Metronome looks at “Sugar foot” and says “ I’ll be good daddy”
1:25 I love that slick cymbal grab
Man, I can watch this a million times and still enjoy watching you!
When he muted the cymbals at 1:21 I just died
sugarfoot is never late, nor he is early. he arrives precisely when he means to.
the guys is a wizard dammit
You are BRILLIANT, Jonathan!!! You are awesome! God bless you!!!!!!!
Played for a legend. That's an honor.
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!
Performance perfeita!! Show...show!! Monstro esse BATERISTA!! PROFISSIONALISMO!! Completo...
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?
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
I'm like the guy in the background while watching this video.
1:25 and I say damn DAAAAAMN
insane! haha
Daaamn!! He really feels music. What a Genius!!
Straight ninja move!
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
Sickest I love the crashes over the shoulders I've never seen someone do that with such accuracy
You are an truly amazing drummer and you've got style.
I was never that interested in drums until I saw this phenomenal legend
That was amazing my friend live the legend and Michael Jackson..
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.
Picking my first drum kit up tomorrow.. All because of you jonathan!
Technically perfect..... full passion ... The Man behind Michael Jackson
Hitting those crashes like a boss!!
Man the beat is in his blood, is so so precise. Salute
I love how literally everyone else do innecesary fills, and you keep it stuck to what the song need. Also love how you mix brands an others only go with Meinl o Zildjan. And I'm absolutly in love with your sound, it's amazing.
You are one of the best without any doubt
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.
His bloody voice and the Superb music of this Piece would last for millions of years...he is enjoying his drumming because he was the original drummer for this masterpiece....🙏❤️🌹RIP MJ
Awesome beats, awesome music and awesome song. Great the legend - Michael Jackson.
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!!
One of the most dynamic drummer I have ever heard, love to hear him play!
The end is a classic🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
This man is a legend
the guy with the glasses in the background clearly enjoying this best-in-class performance!
To be honest I was a guitar man then I saw this guys videos all I can saw is WOW unbelievable, true talent master at what he does. Respect
When I see this video, I really miss Michael.
I want see Michael with him on the stage.
Me too. Who really cares about that bumming kids stuff anyway?
i wonder if the nodding white guy came with the drum kit
Christopher Estrada i think he did
You got me laughing uncontrollably dude!! 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
That is one of the drums
HAHAHAHAHAH
