The man the legend...thanks for whating from Brazil ...
your awesome jonathan
The closest we ever gonna get to hear GOD play the drums is you.
Thanks for capturing my attention back in the early 80's. It's been a fun journey. ♥️🙏
❤❤❤
This song is always emotional to perform. Hope you guys enjoy it! I miss my dear friend.
This song is beautiful
We all miss him Jonathan! Talent truely missed!.
Thank you so much for this. Who is that playing guitar under 3:00 ? I noticed it was new & IT SLAMS!!! I love it as well but man when you got to the 2nd chorus....🤯🤯
Great song...
we love him too
You can tell that there is nothing else he would rather do than play a Michael Jackson track. He knows and plays each of them with 100% accuracy. What a legend!
As Michael Jackson was also a perfectionist.
True
As a drummer I feel like the one thing that seems to be slowly fading away in the drumming world is playing with heart and emotion and Mr Moffett you sir play like it’s the last song your ever gonna play keeping MJ’s music alive
Him and Roger Taylor are my favorites just for that reason. Saw roger at live aid and 1986 wembly arena. And i saw moffett in 2005 i belive just before michael passed.
This is the man who gave us all of the incredible drum performances🙌🏽
only for jackson though, pretty limited!
@@lincthomas7178 you may have heard of Madonna, Elton John and George Michael?;)
@@TcSunde33 who?
@@lincthomas7178 ooooo i see, ur a frustrated drummer :(
@@xtr5659 and i see yur a fuckwit who has no fucking clue!!
I’m doing this and have done this for MJ and all of you….all for the sake of love! Here is the mp3 for this song. My gift to the fans: www.dropbox.com/s/aic777vrzgi9oz3/EARTH%20SONG%20-%20MJ%20%2B%20SUGARFOOT%20%28FINAL%20MIX%29.wav?dl=0
Thank u this means so much to me and being a fan of Michael's since 2009
Never sounded better, thank you!
I this love song is telling us a beautiful story about Earth that's why Michael Jackson he carried about the children because it Michael Jackson is will be all ways be a King of pop to all us around the world .
Thanks Jonathan!!!
Nice sound drums, Impeccable touch, really the whole band is dancing on what you played on drums
Ever since i watched your Drumeo performances, my right foot's precision and speed have increased tenfold, thank you Mr. Moffett.
He´s like a metronom but with a lot of feel. Love him playing.
Rip MJJ
13 years ago today. Rip Michael.
No Michael Jackson died on June 25th next month it's going to be 13 years of the king of pop Michael Joseph Jackson @ 1:26pm
This "EARTH SONG" is considered the best song of Michael Jackson by specialists in music.
Thank you, Jonathan for this performance !
It’s a beautiful song but nobody ever said that. Certainly no “specialists”.
@@joseduran9232 yes, they said so , no.1 song from all his songs in a ranking
@@dand7763 nope it’s definitely not ranked nr 1
Best drummmer in the universe
try to live on earth...
Tampoco hasta allá. Tocó con Michael Jackson y listo. Es un baterista promedio, normal normalito.
@@fuly_motor_bass Unos porque lo sobrevaloran (como el comentario original), otros lo subestiman (Como tú), no es el mejor del universo pero el kbron ha tocado con las leyendas musicales mas grandes de la historia, si eso es ser promedio, normal normalito pues entonces no quiero pensar que son el resto de bateristas jajaja
Mj never dies. He is alive in music and in our hearts ❤️✨
I‘m just amazed by your play!
That precision, that control of strength, …
Love it!
Hence why he worked with the greatest
@@LounisSitcom true
Thanks to you I learned the word „hence“.
So much discipline, simple but powerful notes, full of passion, every hit of the drums just get right into the song perfectly, supporting the emotion of it. I love seeing this man play the drums because he is not just playing the drums, he's playing the music.
I believe Omar Hakim recorded the studio version? I remember when it came out, the drums really stood out on this song to me. As a drummer, I was always glad to hear real drums instead of drum machines in Michael's songs. Excellent work Jonathan, as always!
It's been 13 years today RIP MJ we missed you...hopefully we can get the band from This Is It to do a tribute of what could've been for the concert here in the US
You can't not hear this song without tears in your eyes! 💙💙💙
Sugarfoot I got chills watching you play this song with so much emotion and skill. Unreal. Thank you for dedicating a big part of your life to his music. I’m sure he’s smiling from above ❤️
“Amazing performance” doesn’t justify how great this is 🔥 RIP MJ
Dear Jonathan your performances aren’t only to remind us how great MJ is but also how great artists were contributed to this amazing and timeless music phenomenon. Thank you.
I am fn speechless right now. I had to pause it & say this because man..... look...... this is life right here!!! Thank you so much for this!
It's so easy to forget how profoundly beautiful so much of MJ's work was
When the drums kick in on the original, it’s huge !
The original recording of Steve Ferrone is on UA-cam. Plenty of reverb 😁
ua-cam.com/video/iKyJpM2rocs/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
By far and away one of Michael’s most powerful songs.
I’m mesmerised every time I watch one of your drumming videos.
U played this song with such emotion & it was awesome! R.I.P. MJ, cause u r truly missed!
So very emotional everytime I hear this. I always start crying. 1 of my top 5 favorite MJ songs!!
Michael Jackson & Jonathan Sugarfoot Moffett. Great Combination.❤
Thank you for your musical genius and thank you for supporting Michael and being so talented! ✨🙏🏾 God bless you and your family and Im thankful Michael had you as a drummer for him.
That was incredibly beautiful.
You played it like Michael was still standing next to you.
Much Love from Germany ❤
Beyond Magic ! King of drum performing for the King of pop ! Thanks for giving us this womderful gift to remember our beloved Michael in this day
.🌻💕
Hey that sounds so good I think MJ would be proud that you have been playing his music still over the years and he chose a good drummer.
Thanks Michael Jackson you lives forever in our hearts life souls 👑🙏🌍
How can you play like that, I see many drummers but you make tears fall from my eyes, congratulations you are unique, this song will make it fly
You can really feel the feelings he is having through this song. The expression of sound is an art you don't hear in many drummers. Thanks for all the great rememberable tracks!
No mistaking the emotion in the song. Also what amazes me is there isn't any wasted motion in your playing. Absolutely wonderful performance.
The snare sound of this song must be trademark !!!
The backsplash kill me....thank you very much Mr Moffet !!!
I am glad that I went to the Michael Jackson history tour in Melbourne Victoria Australia here it's was amazing back in 1996 I was only 11 years old and it's was definitely my very very extremely first ever time conset experience I loved it
What a musician could listen to you play all night
This is cleaner than the inside of a bottle of sanitizer!
Yessir😤😡
😂😂😂
Wow! I can’t believe I’m one of the first to view this amazing performance. We all miss him, buddy….
Awesome ! Loved it groovy , miss the King of Pop Michael Jackson, I'm sure if he was still alive he probably would make new music. Thanks for keeping is legacy alive through playing to his music,
I've seen the drums done in so many covers but it just hit's different with Sugarfoot. His drumming just has 'soul' like you can feel him giving life to the tracks in a way no one else can replicate. He plays from the heart. Even a machine playing all the right notes wouldn't be able to replicate that heartfelt playing. He is one of a kind and added to much to already incredible vocals. They were the golden match made in heaven. Michael + Sugarfoot.
Thank you for your kind words….
I thank you and your friend Michael Jackson for all you have given us. I grew up, like pretty much anyone else commenting, dancing to MJ.
You very special, thank you.
OMG the man the myth the legend! I saw you back in 1995 in Poland, when you guys played at the old airport. I was a small boy back then and the fire brigade was nice and kind enough to take me on top of the truck that was close to the stage. I distinctly remember that you often looked in our direction. Of course, I know now that it you were looking and concentrating on your drum set - but I like the version where you looked at those firemen haul a small child up on top of the fire truck better. :D
Thank you for your music!
Another greatest drummer of all time!👏 We all miss you Micheal, greatest entertainer of all time!❤
No matter how many time i repeating this video, i get a goosebumps.. MJ emotions, vocals and your emotions sir is something that makes me cant stop watching this.
I love when a drummer doesnt over chop, hes just assisting the music so good. Its beautiful drumming!
Great work Sugarfoot. Your friend would be proud ❤️
Sometimes, over a period of years, a musicians skills might degrade. Singers for sure, guitarists and bassists, and drummers. This is certainly NOT the case with Jonathan Moffett. We have the miracle of being able to see Moffett playing at his peak with Michael Jackson live in performance, and now, decades later, that same skill and sensitivity has not lost anything in its power, technique or finesse. And you can still set your watch with the incredible sense of timing. Thanks you for this video. It was as emotional for the viewers as it was for the performer.
Thank you jonathan , one of my favorite song!!!
His performance is solid and doesn't suffer from the visual aspect.
thanks Jonathan 😍
We miss Michael🍂
i miss him too😢
Been watching you play a long time man. Your pocket is better than ever. And I am so sorry about the loss of your dear friend Michael. His spirit and passion are both quite evident in your performance. I can literally hear your pain mixed in with all the fire in your playing. God bless you and this incredible tribute to your friend.
You are the legend 🙏🏻
Thanks Jonathan Moffett..amazing
Thanks for being part of Michael Jackson who is still with us.
Amazing sugarfoot long lives the king of pop michael jackson ❤💙😭🕊😪🙏
l will never forget hım as long live Michael Jackson
One of my favourite songs of all time. The drum on this sets the tone
Michael poured his heart into this one 💚
You are the definition of "precision".
Salute
Wow Mr. Moffett this is the best audio and camera work I’ve ever heard and seen on this channel!! I don’t normally listen to this song because it makes me sad, but when the bass drum kick hit! Wow I got excited instead of sad!! I watch your videos all the time to relive through Michaels eyes.
Oh my God the emotion on your face and in the drums - you can hear the beats saying "what about us?"🙏🙏 I love this performance and we see your heart and soul in it. ♥♥ Thanks Sugarfoot. Thank you Michael. MJ is forever in our hearts and forever innocent 🙏🙏❤❤
What I love is that he still plays just like he did when playing for MJ like he never lost a step. That's what I love about his commitment to playing as best he could. Having it still known by heart is awesome
Love from the UK. Brought me to tears man. Never seen such delicate power and emotion on a kit. God bless you J. Completely moved.
Seeing you channel the energy as if MJ was performing gives me goosebumps
Michael Jackson misssssssssss more 👑🙏💎
He sent that song all the way up to the heavens to you Micheal
This is my favorite song by MJ, and i just love hearing this "side" if the song! Thank you!! So powerful!
I absolutely love his cymbal play in this song, the best way I can describe it is like streaks of lightning followed by the thunder. As the song reaches the climax, so does the his intensity. Like a storm gaining strength, as represented in Michael’s music video for this song. Thank you for sharing this with us 🙏🏾
DRUMMER HOPE OF LIFE
One of the GREATEST DRUMMERS ON OVER THE WORLD.THANK YOU FOR OPPORTUNITY GIVE US MICHAEL LEGACY
So powerful. Thank you Sugar foot.

No words can sum up this performance!
My god what a masterclass! The guy is singing with the drums

Jonathan is simply a legend on drums. The guy is really good, damn it!🤟
_ME IMAGINO ESTAR PARADO CERCA MIENTRAS TOCA Y PUEDO SENTIR EL AIRE SIMBRANDO A CADA TOQUE DE PLATOS Y PARCHES APARTE DEL SONIDO DE LA AFINACION DE ESA BATERIA QUE ESTA IMPECABLE_ . DIOS QUE SENSACION HERMOSA 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
God bless you sugarfoot long live MJ🙏🏾
There is nothing better than the sound of when these drums come in. Except maybe the visual of the triple double cymbal crash including behind him.
Baterista de excelentes artistas pero el rey es y será uno solo... Un placer que nos sigas regalando su música ✌️desde Argentina un fuerte aplauso!!
I missed Michael Joseph Jackson every single day's of the years it's really really extremely hard for me to sing to any of Michael Jackson songs in Australia here because I have been a Michael Jackson fan ever ever ever since I was a little boy in Australia here over 32 plus years ago in Australia here even when I hear any songs playing Michael Jackson on the Australian radio's station's
Mastercraftsmanship at it's finest 😮
