Jonathan Moffett: Groove, Discipline & Power Demo

SweetBeats Sticks Performance Demo
Song: "Friend Indeed" by Jonathan Moffett
Single-tipped drum sticks limit both sound and dynamics. That’s why I spent many years developing my double-tipped SweetBeats drum sticks, with one larger tip on one side and one smaller tip on the other. This allows me to have more range in my sound. I can play both ballads (with the smaller tip) and heavy hitting rock or pop tunes (with the larger tip) and all I have to do is flip my sticks over. I've used this design (I call it the "duo") since the 90's and only recently created SweetBeats Sticks using the "duo design", which I've used on many tours and hit records.
In this video, you will see me use the smaller tip with my right hand for adding colors on the cymbals and to create crispy and precise hi-hat accents…while using the bigger tip with my left hand to really smack the snare, giving it that sweet POP!!
Listen to this video with headphones for the best auditory experience! 🦻
I am using my Gold Leaf SweatBeats Sticks with double nylon tips in this video, which can be purchased here: moffettstore.com/collections/...
The song I used for this demonstration is one of my new upcoming original funk grooves called "Friend Indeed".

The song in this video is called "Friend Indeed" which I wrote and produced and coming soon to all streaming platforms! 😊 In this video, you will see me use the smaller tip of my SweetBeats Sticks with my right hand for adding colors on the cymbals and to create crispy and precise hi-hat accents, while using the bigger tip with my left hand to really smack the snare, giving it that sweet POP!! I am using my Gold Leaf SweatBeats Sticks with double nylon tips in this video, which can be purchased here: moffettstore.com/collections/sweetbeats-drum-sticks/products/sweetbeats-drum-sticks-gold-leaf-red-nylon-tips

[@Cannon74com]

Ohhh yes! 🖤

[@BassMecca312]

R&B entertainer Bobby Brown said in his heyday “All I need is bass and drums and I can go all night with this music”. RE: PROOF. This is a HUGE TRAIN of GROOVE. Dude has so many world tours under his belt it’s mind boggling.

[@j_d_n3708]

Legend, he has a metronome in his head as perfect as the groove comes out.

[@artofunk]

SugarFoot’s Artistry is unending.. this groove & pocket sticks….& using his signature sticks exemplifies how he articulates His Sound… A True Legend Giving Us More & More…🙏🏽👍🏽✌🏽

[@yoitsched]

I think I’ve listened to more than 8 minutes of this amazing grove and song

[@TyAndras]

If he went on tour just by himself in the round I would be first in line.. just a sick groove and he doesnt just play the drums he IS the drums. All one unit and just amazing. Can watch for hours

[@diydame7163]

I could listen to him play all night long. ❤

[@kevinm761]

The snare😍

[@christopherhuber7428]

Mr. Moffett you are an amazing drummer. Your talent far exceeds others. I could sit and listen and watch you play for hours. Keep grovin my man

[@renardfields2975]

[@iainduncan6252]

Probably the best time keeping on a hi hat I’ve ever heard. The man is unbelievable. Deep deep respect Mr Moffett. I show all my drum students your videos and they completely agree. Inspirational drumming at its best

[@MidwestBoxin]

Mr Moffett, we met in Chicago when I went to meet Taku after the Cirque du soliel MJ Show at United Center . You are just amazing. You never lose a step. Such a privilege to meet you and have some drinks/food. Hope to see you again.

Some old school funk right there! =D I can see Prince hitting up this tune (RIP Prince) Please can you drum some of Prince's tunes Jonathan? =). I'd really appreciate it.

[@josephwalton487]

Good God I HAVE to jam with you someday Sir Sugarfoot. A bass player's dream drummer🤘🤘

[@markctaylormade]

I will never wear shirts under my waistcoats again.

[@rl1491]

I wish I understood enough to appreciate how epic this truly is :( :( :(

[@Trapper_Al]

[@idiota729]

你打鼓真的很厉害。谢谢你的演示，祝你健康平安。

[@jenniferdupree532]

[@yusufAA7]

Michael Jackson would love this very much. You’re king 🤴

[@karuzly4sgame184]

From Russia With Love!

[@kushagrachadha4581]

🙌

[@Mr-Keyes]

I hope you cover "Be yourself " by Cameo.

[@emiliotunez2515]

Siempre pura elegancia y precisión en el toque. Un maestro! Pienso que M. Jackson sin el no hubiera sonado igual. Bueno... Esa es mi opinión.🤷🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️👍🏻

[@michaelsorrells6426]

You should make more songs

[@alainpatry]

Will SweetBeats drumsticks be followed by SweetFeats drummer shoes? ;)

[@artofunk]

Good One 😄👍🏽

[@daved4716]

Love it..... but he is mixing cymbal brands...😊😊

[@kpoper_multilover2653]

He doesn't care about brands🖕😎 Important is not the brand of the pra And yes timbre ✌️😎 If you were a professional drummer would know about this, And do not forget Brand doesn't mean better , and he can mix if he wants.

[@bobking7347]

What synths or vst plugins are you using and when can I get this on vinyl

[@bijipica]

Sir, my mom asked you, can play roxette-joyride 🙏🙏

[@moessmendoza]

Hi

[@batouttahell454]

Why didn't you have Him speak about Pocket and Groove!?!?!?

[@MrJD240sx]

This guy is an okay drummer. Nothing interesting just his reverse crash action hero hit lol.

[@aehsrose]

JSM has got one hell of a CV (I would need to live 1,000+ lifetimes to even get any where near his session work success!) But this is absolutely appalling rubbish!!

[@audreyovisual]

Appalling rubbish? Please explain.

[@aehsrose]

@@audreyovisual The backing track is terrible (absolutely no structure) the groove is boring and the fills are the same throughout the whole performance. He has performed with some of the greatest modern music artists of all time so no excuse's for such a poor video!!!
