The Grooves of Michael Jackson (Free Series)
► https://www.drumeo.com/michael-jackson-grooves/

Jonathan Moffett was nicknamed "Sugarfoot" by Michael Jackson because of the quick speed and complex patterns he was able to pull off with his bass-drum foot. With a nickname like that, it seemed natural to focus Jonathan's first ever Drumeo appearance on his bass-drum foot. So in this lesson, Jonathan is going to teach you how to create grooves using the back beat as a foundation. He also talks about his memories of working with Michael Jackson, how he got started in the music business, and where the nickname "Sugarfoot" came from.
