Jonathan “Sugarfoot“ Moffett: Leading Drum Grooves With Your Foot (FULL DRUM LESSON)
Jonathan Moffett was nicknamed “Sugarfoot“ by Michael Jackson because of the quick speed and complex patterns he was able to pull off with his bass-drum foot. With a nickname like that, it seemed natural to focus Jonathan’s first ever Drumeo appearance on his bass-drum foot. So in this lesson, Jonathan is going to teach you how to create grooves using the backbeat as a foundation. He also talks about his memories of working with Michael Jackson, how he got started in the music business, and where the nickname “Sugarfoot“ came from.
