Being back with Michael Jackson for the “This Is It” rehearsals, even for a brief moment, meant everything to me! We were so excited for this tour….It truly breaks my heart that it never happened.

After sharing how I approached “Human Nature” on the Victory Tour, I thought it would be interesting to revisit the way we performed it during the 2009 This Is It rehearsals. Over the years, the arrangement continued to evolve, and this version reflects how I played it during those rehearsals with Michael and the band. For this video, I recorded a brand-new drum performance over the original rehearsal audio to recreate the feel of that era. Keep in mind, the backing track comes from rehearsal re

“Smooth Criminal” was always the moment the stage shifted into another world. When I performed it with Michael on the HIStory World Tour and later in the This Is It rehearsals the lights dropped the room held its breath and every strike of the snare felt like footsteps in a dark alley. The groove was sharp relentless like a pulse guiding the audience through a scene where something dangerous was always about to happen. This performance became my most viral video because people can feel that tens

This footage is from rehearsals and shows during the “HIStory” World Tour….my fourth tour with Michael Jackson. Before “HIStory”, I toured with him on “Destiny”, “Triumph”, and “Victory”….each one building on the last. The “HIStory” Tour ran for nearly two years, spanning 80 shows worldwide, and remains one of the largest tours ever staged. Michael always said the same thing to me….”Your groove makes me dance.” That pocket, that feel, that restraint….that’s why he kept calling me back. Not flash

This is how I warm up a kit before a performance…I’m locking into the foundation of Beat It by Michael Jackson, focusing on tempo, pocket, balance, and how the drums respond. This was before performing with the New Philadelphia high school steel band, where feel and consistency matter more than fills or tom runs. I’m listening to the room, checking placement and rebound, and making sure the groove sits exactly where it needs to so everything locks when we play together. | Jonathan Sugarfoot Moff

This is “Scream”…dual screen…front-of-stage cameras and my personal drum cam running at the same time. You can feel the crowd losing it…that energy was unreal!! Locked in…on beat…catching cymbals nonstop. That showmanship adds another layer of excitement to the moment…you can actually see it happening in real time….. That kind of precision only happens when everything clicks and you’re fully inside the music. And yeah…you can see me smiling!! 🙂 Different time…a lot of joy!…a lot of adrenaline!!
