Drum Solo by Jonathan “Sugarfoot” Moffett

Jonathan Moffett  /  UPDATED Mar 13, 2023

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.
