[TenSecondSongs]

Recording vocals to Jonathan’s drumming has always been sort of a bucket list thing for me. Very proud of this! Go subscribe to his channel (link in description)

Man, The drum beat from Billie Jean in 20 different songs played by the guy who played the drum beat from Billie Jean in the song Billie Jean by Michael Jackson (Jonathan Sugarfoot Moffett, known for playing the drum beat from Billie Jean on Billie Jean by Michael Jackson and several other Michael Jackson songs that feature the drum beat from Billie Jean) is great!

[YoungDeathWish]

As a drummer, I can say Moffet is a god damn machine. Incredible timing.

[justinsundstrom]

No one does the same beat better than Mr. Moffet.

[bryguy]

I like to imagine that after the video ended, Sugarfoot kept drumming and is still jamming in that room to this day 🥲

"Atomic clocks are the most accurate time standard known"

Sugarfoot Moffett: "Hold my beat"

[dylancooper]

My man is like a metronome, doesn’t miss a beat. It’s so cool to watch. And Anthony, you killed it as always

[ImFolley]

2:48 Anthony couldn't hold the laugh of "changing" from under pressure to ice ice baby

[Nitryl]

"One Beat to rule them all, One Beat to find them,
One Beat to bring them all and in the Music bind them"

That seamless transition from Under Pressure to Ice Ice Baby.

[TheMadwomen]

Well that was amazing. Then again, what did I expect? It's Anthony Vincent and Micheal Jackson's actual drummer. There was no way it was gonna be bad (unless we're talking in the Micheal Jackson way).

[ForgottenWondersUrbex]

Sugarfoot is INCREDIBILE. Even friends who know nothing about playing music are amazed at videos of him playing. Even the simplest of beats gets so much richer when he plays it

[trigonometrisk]

The ending is perfect! Both the cover of 1999 (seems Sugarfoot really enjoyed playing that) and then the solo drums on Billie Jean.

[RickJohnson]

0:58 - No Doubt's "It's My Life" is definitely a cover of Talk Talk's 1984 version of the same name.

[gilmarsantos]

Sugarfoot is a machine. MJ just worked with the best musicians. Cool.

[Bluntula]

We need a 1999 Cover because that was too perfect.

[TheNodles]

What legend of a drummer!
For all those saying it's the same beat, listen to the hi-hats and bass drum. It's very nuanced.

[RedRoseSeptember]

How amazing is it that you got *THE* drummer for MJ??? That's just insane and this was fun to hear and watch!!!
