Michael Jackson’s drummer, Jonathan Moffett, performs “Smooth Criminal,” 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.”

You can see why MJ spoke so highly of him .👏

Sugarfoot never makes a mistake” na legendary praise 😭

@HoteeBoi Yeah and Mj was a perfectionist 🐐

That’s why his legacy still stands

Jonathan Moffett the legend “Sugarfoot” @jsugarfootm 🙌

Found this mesmerising to watch. Incredible.

Me too. His talent is on another level.

Bro's always on god mode

Facts his drummer don’t miss

If MJ says it then it’s true

Facts 🙌

thats nothing compared to the shit he can really do, and its still clean as hell

Performing this is probably just like breathing air to Sugarfoot. This whole performance was effortless.

@UncleKonnect Sounds exactly like the track. You’ll know he was the guy who scored the original. Too smooth 0 errors nothing extra just the pure vibes

Man so sleek 🔥

Facts he slick

Madonna held up a world tour until he was available. When he did these videos he said he hadn't played these songs in years. He referred to Michael as his "Dance Partner".

a walking metronome!! It's fantastic! I'm using this for bass practice.

He’s played it so much over his life it’s now muscle memory. Amazing performance 🔥🔥

@LightningFan083 Jonathan Moffett is a legend. He played drums for @Madonna during Blonde Ambition tour too.

Is he still alive ?

And still touring 🤯

Man just imagine if he’s still alive with his gangs !

HE'S A LEGEND. I ALSO IMMEDIATELY THINK OF THIS KANYE INTERVIEW WHENEVER THIS SONG COMES UP.

A clear example of less is more. Modern drummers over do it with all the extra BS 😂

man is too good

He slick with it

And one of the nicest humans I have EVER met 🥰

@drhk_horse No showboating, no excessive tricks, no quirky sleight of hand… Just pure and consistent premium performance. That’s the kind of teammate you depend on. You can see why MJ spoke so highly him.

You know what it means when a perfectionist like MJ says someone never makes a mistake. Sugar foot is so sleek. I'm glad he's still alive and touring.

drummers are the only ones that cant make a mistake or the entire set is ruined lol

still alive?

Yeah and touring .. he just finished a stadium tour in China..

Great interview on how he became drummer for the Jackson’s. Ps this is one of my favorite drumeos of Jonathon Moffet. I think Michael called him “Foot”. 😀

Shit is just so crisp and in the pocket sakes alive

You don't get the name Sugarfoot if you fuckin up

That man IN THAT POCKET!!! Love to see it!

Most in the pocket drummer ive maybe ever seen. Pristine timing

When the drummer got a better reputation than the lead singer… you KNOW he’s different.

@njeriwanjeri MJ called it perfectly….Sugarfoot doesn’t miss, he just levitates the groove. That timing is surgical. Respect to the legend keeping the pocket alive 🔥🥁

“Sugarfoot never makes a mistake.”

Masterpiece from a drum legend - keeping the originally signed Remo drum head with artist he played with and drum sticks from Sugarfoot at home like a gold treasury

His cuts are so clean and he's doing "simple" stuff. Dead silence on his cuts when needed. Outrageous and incredible.
