MJ once said: "My bass player makes a mistake, my guitar player makes a mistake, I make mistakes sometimes, but sugarfoot never makes a mistake.
When he was born Dr was like 'congratulations, it's a metronome'.
I stil can't get over the tech guy in the background! His having his time of his life, I love it!
For the first 46 years of my life, i went through it thinking that michael jacksons songs used a drum machine. I now know his name.
Legend says he wakes up his alarm clock every morning.
This guy hired Micheal Jackson as his singer.
That double cymbal grab at the end was sooo smooth
He is the absolute master. EVERY drummer wishes they could play like this.
Jackson: "I need exact precision."
For those not familiar with drums, this is beyond perfect. His timing is so precise its frightening.
People don't play like this no more. Old school accuracy with no synthetics or adjustments. Just pure human perfection.
I had the great pleasure of helping this awesome man a few days ago at the DMV. He was such a nice dude and we got to talk a little bit about his work and Michael Jackson. I’m bummed I didn’t get to take a photo with him though 😢
It's criminal how smooth this guy is.
Jonathan Moffett the type of guy who wakes up everyday at 6:00 AM without an alarm.
Man swings his sticks so fast, some camera frames shows that it warped and bendy, what a legend.
Man that was awesome what a talented drummer !!
His timing is actually scary. And what's funny is he's probably thinking to himself "eh that was okay.. I've played it much better before" .. Totally mind blowing!
If you want to play the drums accurately, you use a metronome. If you want the metronome to be accurate, you use Jonathan Moffett.
