Note: I was the only performer on stage Michael ever gave permission to film using an “iso camera” - which allowed me to capture my drumming during the HIStory Tour. I was blessed he allowed me to do this!!…Some parts came out a bit out of focus due to the smoke from the stage and vibrations....I apologize for this!!…I will continuously post more footage. #HistoryTourDrumSeries

I trust your beat more than my metronome.

@yenniferluna268 6 лет назад

@biodrummindieseler 5 лет назад

He's playing with a click, so it's basically your metronome.

@YanniDep 5 лет назад

I don't think they used a click.

@biodrummindieseler 5 лет назад

@@YanniDep He has an earpiece going to his right ear, and if you use the app BPM live, you'll see that the tempo stays at 114 BPM for 7 minutes straight. It's not impossible for a drummer with Jonathan Moffet's credentials to keep perfect time, but I find it unlikely for him to pull it off for 7 minutes.

@YanniDep 5 лет назад

@@biodrummindieseler I'm a drummer too, and I used my tempo app. He didn't stay consistent throughout the whole song. Which is no big deal. No one is perfect. And the earpiece has nothing to do with him using a click or not. They could simply be his monitors.

@eddiekalista3222 4 года назад

Let’s be honest, most of his songs translate into hard rock/metal very well. I’m a metal head too and I’m always impressed at how certain pop artists are just some double kick and distortion away from some heavy hits.

@rickjones805 4 года назад

Michael stole the bass line fromthe Hall and Oates song " I can't go for that". Daryl Hall said that when he saw Michael at the gathering for "We are the World" song that Michael apologized to him for it. Do the research

@heavymetal1330 4 года назад

Rick Jones but MJ took that to another level! Like hall and oates beat on steroids... much more aggressive...

@drumrboi72 4 года назад

Unlike 95% of drummers nowadays who love 2 CONSTANTLY overplay by displaying their speed and chops and seemingly compete against 1 another; Mr. Moffett on the other hand, just loves 2 keep the groove going. (And does it QUITE WELL) 😉👍🥁 Thank U Sir!

I have watched and listened to Jonathan Moffet on Drumeo many times. He exudes kindness, confidence, and professionalism, and keeps the music focused as though it were on a steel rail. It shows how much respect MJ had that he played solo several minutes of straight 2/4 in the middle of "Billie Jean." Pure drumming.
