Michael Jackson fans often ask about that break & drum accent before “see that girl…” in “Human Nature.” Believe it or not, the pause was Michael’s idea. Our approach back then was much lighter than the strong drum accent fans recognize today, which evolved over the years.

Some of the early Jackson tours don’t get talked about enough. Victory Tour was my third tour with Michael & The Jacksons…and some of the most exciting years of my life. Watching Michael grow into the icon the world came to love was special to witness from behind the drums!

Really humbled seeing the renewed love lately for my “Smooth Criminal” performance with Drumeo from 2018. Always an honor celebrating Michael Jackson & the music we performed together. Grateful so many of you are still enjoying and sharing it all these years later.

Performing “Billie Jean” in Changsha, China was an emotional moment for me. Standing behind the drums with Michael Jackson in my heart and spirit…bringing his music back to life for nearly 15,000 fans gathered together to celebrate his legacy and feel that magic again. ❤️

Watching the Victory Tour brought back to life on the big screen was emotional for me. Seeing my character behind the drums again…the same kit, the same energy…they really captured that era. Surreal reliving a moment I was blessed to live through. ❤️ #michaelmovie

After the Destiny, Triumph, & Victory Tours…Michael wanted me to become the music director for the Bad Tour after seeing my work on Jermaine’s tour. Unfortunately, I had already committed to Madonna’s “Who’s That Girl” Tour. One day I’ll tell the full story. #michaelmovie

“Man in the Mirror” by #MichaelJackson. One of the greatest songs ever written in the history of music.

To celebrate “Like A Prayer” climbing back on the Billboard charts, I’ve decided to finally redo this song which I originally recorded with producer Patrick Leonard and #Madonna in the late 80’s! #DeadpoolAndWolverine Deadpool Movie Ryan Reynolds Hugh Jackman

“They Don’t Care About Us” from the HIStory Tour had a very specific feel to it. That groove was strong…almost like a march. In this clip I’m trying to remember the arrangement again. Been a while since I’ve sat down and played this version from the tour… #MichaelJackson
