In this solo, Jonathan Moffett will show off his fast foot (where do you think his nickname came from?!), two-handed hi-hat beats, melodic tom patterns, and a never-ending barrage of ghost notes. This solo has everything you'd want from the man himself.

While this wasn't the most mind-blowing drum solo I've ever seen, one thing is awesome: The guy picks a really nice beat and builds an entire solo around that doesn't get boring at all for almost 8 minutes. He doesn't overplay, even in a solo. That shows restraint and taste and deserves quite a bit of respect, IMO.

What he’s doing with the bass pedal, to me, is the most impressive thing here, both in terms of endurance and skill. I’m certainly not an expert on drummers, but I’ve never seen a drummer hover their ankle like that and tap out the bass as if it was working the same as his hand.

Most of his kicks are 1 or 2 notes with a small space between so he's probably just doing a double stroke on those. That's how I usually would do something like that and it gets easy after you've done it a lot. Your foot builds up the muscle to do it all day

The execution is as flawless as it can get. That's what sets him apart from even other pros imo: even when he's improvising without any pattern set in stone Every. Hit. Is. Perfect.

I'm absolutely in awe of this... The tone... the precision... the subtleties... the taste... Not a single beat missed, flubbed, or unloved. Unquestionably a level of virtuosity that every drummer should ascribe to every day. Absolute perfection right there.

Man, my nephew is a professional drummer and he amazes me every time I watch him play. However, watching "Sugerfoot" literally made my whole leg cramp because I was trying to emulate his right foot movement, not possible. I am always amazed by drummers, they can use every limb independently, they are the backbone of every group. These guys have to be in exceptional shape to keep up that kind of movement, impressive, most impressive;)

In the words of Neil Peart " A drum solo is used to convey a message, to say something ." I don't believe there are "better or worse drummers" just different drummers, that's what makes music so diverse, I think everyone should enjoy the kind of drummer "Sugarfoot" is instead of slamming his solo.

lmao? Bought an E-kit a month ago myself. It gets easier every time I sit down at the kit. I still have to work on using my left foot but I surprise myself with how I've managed to separate the kick drum from my right hand. Playing quarter notes on the ride while 8th/16ths on the kick. Oddly enough I was practicing heel toe doubles through most of junior high and highschool without even knowing it. 20 years later it took me all of a day to figure out how to make it work with an actual kick pedal. I only wish I had started decades ago.

Any other drum solo I've heard devolves pretty quickly into a cacophony of overlapping, "hit everything there is at the same time" mess. I'm sure those who know about drums enjoy them and can hear the technique. But this, this is not just different, it's better. This has a theme, you can play this at any tme and jam to it, it was like telling a story. This is real music.

Don't wanna be a dick, but either you haven't listened to many drum solos at all or, when you have, the stuff goes over your head so that you only hear the drummer "hit everything there is at the same time". I like solos which explore new rhythmical ideas. None of that here. At all. 0 creativity. As the drummer for MJ, this guy was perfect. He has pocket. He never overplays (my opinion is that he underplays in live performances, but that's a matter of taste and it's never going to spoil the performance, unlike drummers who overplay). He's aware of everything that makes his drumming add to the musical experience......As a solo artist, he's as stale as they come. Luckily music exists to please the human ear. If you're pleased, more power to him. I'm a professional drummer and my personal opinion is that it was pretty much as boring as a drum solo can be.
