"Study the Greats" is a series of quick videos where host Austin Burcham walks you through beats by some of the world’s greatest drummers.

In this clip, you’ll learn three of Jonathan “Sugarfoot” Moffett’s most memorable grooves. Not only was he Michael Jackson’s longtime drummer, he has also played with Madonna, George Michael, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, and many more. It doesn’t get much more accomplished than Sugarfoot, whose playing style is unique due to precise funky grooves and impressive showmanship (watch him play “Smooth Criminal” to see his double cymbal grabs).

Here’s the breakdown of three key Michael Jackson beats. While they may seem like simple 4/4 pop grooves, Jonathan has his own way of playing that can be tough to recreate, especially at full speed:

“Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin'” 1:10
“Smooth Criminal” 3:42
“Jam” 6:28
