MJ's drummer, Madonna's drummer, Elton John's drummer etc. etc. the man is a living legend. Madonna postponed one of her concerts years ago because he was busy with another project. That should say something lol

Nice analysis. It is easy to overlook how perfectly the drummer serves the spirit of the song in this recording. To keep that groove, in time with the pauses and breaks is a skill all it’s own. A similar feat is accomplished by the drummer on the Pat Travers song “I La La Love You”. It was featured in the Valley Girl soundtrack from the 80’s. I remember the song from the movie and loved the guitar. It is at its core a simple straight forward pop/rock song. However, if you listen closely from a drummer’s perspective, there is actually a buffet of tasty fills, beats and accents all throughout the song. There is so much going on with the drumming underneath the straightforward music in the song, however it seamlessly blends in to the spirit of the song in an unobtrusive way. I found out the drummer was named Tommy Aldridge, a legendary hard rock and heavy metal drummer.

That was Jonathan "Sugarfoot" Moffett. His bass foot is, well, sugary! He was THE arena drummer of the best acts of the 80s and 90s (MJ, Madonna, etc). If you want a challenge, play Wanna Be Starting Something for 45 minutes straight. Jonathan does. Good vid, guy.👍👍

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHXUnaJjq955fKc Michael Jackson (and by extension, Quincy Jones) would never have less than the best onstage sitting on that throne. His whole career started bc, in the early 80s, a musician he knew from years past, saw him on a payphone on the street while driving by in a cab. He stopped, grabbed Jon and recommended him for, I think, the MJ tour that was upcoming. This is all from a Modern Drummer magazine I read (studied 🙄) in 1985 or so, so I may be sketchy on the details. Jonathan rocks. Enjoy the video. 8 minutes of that bass, yer calf is DONE! 😁🤘

Jonathan Moffett always wanted to be a bass player so that’s why the bass drum is in time with the bass.
@JoshCastillo4 жыл бұрын
The bass player and drum set player should generally have a close musical relationship. This becomes more apparent with the drum set players kick foot as it generally mirrors a lot of what the bass player is playing

“Serve the song.” Separates the good from the greats. Sergiu Celibidache once said the conductor is an absolute slave to the intent of the composer.
