You've seen all the Michael Jackson tracks Jonathan Moffett performed during his time in our studio, but now it's time for a drum solo! In this solo, Jonathan Moffett will show off his fast foot (where do you think his nickname came from?!), two-handed hi-hat beats, melodic tom patterns, and a never-ending barrage of ghost notes. This solo has everything you'd want from the man himself.

    The left kick pedal is only there in case of emergency if the right pedal breaks from all the awesomeness.
  • @DuaneJasper
    Everyone's impressed with how long Moffett's right leg can hold that beat- I'm impressed with how long the white guy in the back can hold a massive grin
  • @Friedolin93
    And all that while keeping a straight face. Nothing but respect for that man.
  • @ZtheFirst
    I just got leg cramps just by watching this.
  • @MR-vg7yn
    While this wasn't the most mind-blowing drum solo I've ever seen, one thing is awesome: The guy picks a really nice beat and builds an entire solo around that doesn't get boring at all for almost 8 minutes. He doesn't overplay, even in a solo. That shows restraint and taste and deserves quite a bit of respect, IMO.

    "I wonder why they call him Sugarf- ok, never mind."

    What he’s doing with the bass pedal, to me, is the most impressive thing here, both in terms of endurance and skill. I’m certainly not an expert on drummers, but I’ve never seen a drummer hover their ankle like that and tap out the bass as if it was working the same as his hand.
  • @ajm2360
    As a drummer, all I can say is wow. I'm absolutely astonished by how fast he can control the foot pedal. Definitely one of my biggest influences. Dude should be called cocaine foot, absolutely insane!
  • @nag_ramone
    He has another brain just for his right foot...
  • @MrTommydrums
    Been drumming most of my life been watching drumming all my life this guy is one of the most tasteful, in the pocket, perfect tempo, groovy ass drummers I’ve ever seen! 😳
  • @martyzuno4807
    He’s the guy that says “yeah I play a little bit of the drums”
  • @thrash_0915
    The only man who could possibly play modern metal with a single pedal

    Legend says that drum machines get nervous when he's around.
