Jonathan Moffett Performs J Lo's "Waiting for Tonight" on BABY DW KIT!!

“Complex Simplicities” Groove Demonstration
This is for all the J.Lo fans, including myself - “Waiting For Tonight”!! This is my first time playing this song and my OWN interpretation and expressions of the song (not trying to play it like the record)...and this my first time playing on my NEW BABY DW KIT I just got!!
Even with simple songs like this one (2 and 4 grooves of kick, snare and hat)...I create the complexities with my spirit and emotion from my soul, between the hits and spaces of silence. And make them all “dance together” in rhythm. I strive to make the rhythms dance. I make the bass drum(s) dance. I make the hi-hats dance. I make the snare drum dance. I make the crash cymbals dance, sometimes even with rhythmic and melodic “cymbal catches”!! These I call, “complex simplicities”!!! Or...how I also tend to refer this process as...“Moffetize” a groove.
Note: I do NOT endorse any of the cymbals used in this video. I am sometimes gifted products by companies that I try out...

This is for all the J.Lo fans, including myself - “Waiting For Tonight”!! This is my first time playing this song and my OWN interpretation and expressions of the song (not trying to play it like the record)...and this my first time playing on my NEW BABY DW KIT I just got!! This is the smallest kit I've ever played!

[@earvinlewis1]

That was perfect, brother! Amazing job!

[@dorianhurodry]

I am so glad I find this, for some of us the opportunity to see you and videos like this are a big impact when needed some inspiration and motivation to keep grabbing and instrument and keep trying thank you

[@joegonzalez4468]

Jonathan Sugarfoot Moffett You Sir are The Man!

[@gautamrajendrannair400]

Loved it! Thank you so much❤❤❤

[@yolandaromero1794]

Happy birthday Jonathan today is my bday also,enjoy your day.

[@eiandolo]

This gentleman doesn’t play drums. This gentleman is the personification of tempo.

[@RoyalMasterpiece]

He is drums!

[@joeymonster]

“ I forgot to pack my shirt... lemme throw this tie on.. ehh no one will even notice. “

[@antwoinemarshall4955]

LOL

[@Bigricky06]

The funny thing is that, the click track is following him to stay on time with the song

[@ChristopherMundahl]

They don't call him Sugarfoot for no reason!

[@geminirhythmspirit2573]

He's facial expressions show so much dedication, it seems painful, amazing man, born to play drums no matter what....

[@jblrothaus]

I don't know what's better: your drumming skills or your sense of humor at the end!!!

[@pamisjamming]

Both.

[@anyITsolution]

Its definitely funky 🥳

[@5000rgb]

I got a chuckle at 3:14, too.

[@leospanghero5479]

It'd be really nice if you could do this more. It's always enriching to see such a flawless musician offering us his renditions on a diversity of styles and artists. And of course, never forgetting MJ. Thanks for this one more

[@johndoejr.3527]

There is only one Michael Jackson, one Madonna and J.Lo and there is only one Jonathan Moffett, the man who unites them all. Thank you so much, Mr. Sugarfoot!!!

[@steveypeppers9324]

I’d love to see Jonathans take on other genres as well! Jazz, hip hop, rock, metal, etc. I feel like it would be cool to see how he would approach these different styles of drumming!

[@xenophagia]

God, I would love to see Jonathan play some metal.

[@SmedleyButlerIII]

Jonathan Moffett and Danny Carey.... only in my dreams

[@skeletorex]

Sugarfoot + heavy metal= sugar metal!

[@ErikS-]

The Michael Jackson set you did with Drumeo is the best I have heard, but this is coming very close to it:) Really like to see more of this in the future. Especially full sets😀

[@armyofone3893]

Honestly...I had a rough day. Then I saw this. Isn’t it such a Gift, how music can “take it all away”....

[@baconbitz7937]

The absolute control you have over the kit is outstanding

[@funlovinkrimenal]

I couldn't care less about J.Lo's music, but I could watch this forever. Great job, Sir.

[@gabrieljohannson6777]

A true gentleman and monster on the drum kit in smooth flight. Thanks Mr Moffett.

[@pamisjamming]

Human drum machine. Flawless! Greatest of all times.

[@-Window-Licker-]

Master Groovesmith!

[@lucasn82_]

[@user-jz5jb1pu6u]

This is what I call groove . What a discipline. The coolest moment from 3:13 till the end )))

[@judymcgaugh6480]

Really , I can not believe it , it sounded so perfect . Love the beat and wanting to just get up and dance. Well done Mr. Moffett . Love the kit the sound thats coming out of them is amazing..and the scarf is a hot touch...NICE🥁🥁🥁

[@zonemasone6309]

The best Drummer forever👌👌👌❤

[@jumpnrun3368]

You know what´s amazing about Jonathan? You can give him just a HiHat, a snare and a bassdrum. He´d still groove every other drummer into the ground.

[@skollittie]

So,so tight and that snare is seriously delicious. ❤

[@ansellhalim]

Really satisfying, when looking at your plays. The precise timing is impeccable.

[@SeanRooneyMusic]

Like Chopin said the end goal of all music after you've mastered all difficulties is simplicity..this man is a staggering example of that

[@leroycroft4788]

I love hearing you play. Always a pleasure.

[@Psychic9008]

I can only hope for the drummer in our band to be able to hold a beat like this man does. Looking forward to seeing more of these videos.

[@masterham4640]

What a grove, impeccable as always.

[@ThePibebazooka]
