This is my drum setup inside the same legendary space where Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” was created. I had the honor of serving as Michael’s live touring drummer for over 30 years, bringing that music to life on stages around the world. The last time I recorded here was in 2018 with Quincy Jones for his Netflix documentary. | Jonathan Sugarfoot Moffett

Saw a couple snares at Arizona Drum Shop I hadn’t played before…so I gave them a run. Obviously not my setup…no toms, just two snares, kick, and cymbals… but I wanted to explore the sound a little. | Jonathan Sugarfoot Moffett

Recording session at Westlake Studios! People always think the simple patterns are the easy ones… but in the studio, the simple parts are where the real discipline shows. Every bass drum note… every crack of the snare… every space between the notes has to be identical. No rushing… no dragging… just pure consistency and feel. Producers want perfection. If one hit is lighter or heavier than the last, or if the groove isn’t locked like a drum machine, they hear it immediately. That’s where years of

These drums never got their moment under the arena lights. They were built as backup pieces for my curly maple DW kit for Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” concerts. I designed this kit myself, the same way I have designed every kit throughout my career, shaping the look, feel, and sound to match the vision of the show. I kept these spares because they carry the memory of what we were preparing to create. | Jonathan Sugarfoot Moffett

Cymbal placement is one of the most overlooked parts of setting up a kit. With multiple cymbals, every inch matters—the height, the angle, the distance. I position mine so that my hands naturally flow into the catches. It’s not just about hitting—it’s about efficiency, speed, and making sure the cymbal is right where it needs to be when the moment comes. | Jonathan Sugarfoot Moffett
