Michael Jackson drum Cover Don’t stop till you get enough featuring Eric Moore

[@jamiealexander4963]

You know this man has every respect for "Sugarfoot" when he has all the chops in the world but does such a brilliantly simple and effective cover. In the pocket x 100. Big up.

[@Ticker2]

It’s J. R. Robinson on the track. But yes, restraint.

[@BZtheAnti]

I expected him to go crazy in this one also lol and I’m also loving the pocket of this one. There’s some tasty fills still.

[@nathandrums0]

Jamie Alexander it’s nice to see him be restrained for once. Dude literally never stops doing chops it’s kinda obnoxious. I love chops but sometimes they can be a bit much.

[@NovelMeetsEvilPodcast]

And it’s really not that simple. There’s a lot going on groove-wise. A lot of years went into his ability to lay it down and make it seem simple

[@crieverytim]

ain't nothing simple about this son

[@thePeterpumpkin68]

This is probably the least he's played in a song for a while. Straight groove with appropriate embellishments. Old. Skool.

[@howtobeatadrum]

You didn’t watch the end of the video

[@thePeterpumpkin68]

@@howtobeatadrumironically, it sounds like you didn't get the ending of the vid. The main song finished at around 5.55. The the loop of the ending begins so he can let off steam after keeping a lid on it for the whole song! The drums in main song up until the loop was super-tame as it should be, you can't fill every note in these grooves. It dosen't work! The loop was his time to blast and is not part of this classic groove. I'm sure you can understand.

Me Too never seen him play that way before

[@JeremyRoss]

Seems like a left hander playing on a right handed set.

[@Eurodrummer666]

@@JeremyRoss Not quite, otherwise he would have played the snare with his right hand. I guess on that particular track he needed to play his "beefy" snare drum which happened to be his side snare, and his main one might be a "table top" tuned snare, not ideal when you want to play old tunes from Mr Jackson.

Hey Eric, I absolutely love the way you played that song of Michael Jackson’s. That’s what it’s all about you don’t half to just play in the pocket on every song. Their is a time to for us drummers to just let your playing out and cut loose. This guy is a perfect example of that. Colin Cave.

This was very well put together Eric. If Michael hired you, he'd want it in the pocket close to the record so people can dance. Understanding whats needed for a song, especially dance songs is a lost art. This is why sugarfoot had the gig with Michael

[@andrewprovan3109]

@MorbidManMusic Again He has worked to improve his drumming for a long time. You can't earn gifts, they're given to you. Some people are more gifted in sports naturally. Some more in music. Others with knowledge and sharing that with others. God gives us good gifts, they are a part of who we made us. You might not see it that way, but I pray that God opens your eyes to see that he is Lord and he loves you my friend. Jesus died for you on the cross to give you new life, He's real and he is alive, and he is God. He loves you my friend, all you gotta do is cry out to him and he'll answer you! He wants to show you that he's real, I dare you to challenge him to prove to you that he's real and to show himself to you personally. I mean it! Try it 🙂

@@wpochert But he still is most noteable for his time as MJ’s drummer, and it’s how he “markets” himself, if you will. Not to mention, I never said he recorded the song. He just has more public recognition than other drummers that worked for MJ. No need to be condescending.

[@wpochert]

@@cursedgeorge939 Actually the late great Ricky Lawson was A LOT more notable than Moffett for time spent with MJ... hell, he did the entire bad and dangerous tours...Bad being the largest and most important tour of MJ's life. Moffett did small stints with The Jacksons on a couple tours.. most notably the disastrous Victory tour. He also did the terrible 30th anniversary show and was slated to do "This is it"..but of course that never came to be.
