Starting in 2021 Jonathan “Sugarfoot” Moffett announced that he was planning on starting his own line of drum related products.  To raise funds, he started selling one of a kind autographed item’s and his first resulting item were his SweetBeats drumsticks, a design he created in ’88. 

During that same time, he designed what would eventually become his designer drum keys that are functional and jewelry.  He believes a drummer must look good as good as they play.

Jonathan a schooled artist who is creating “functional art” for the drummer, hints towards additional item’s he is planning on introducing.

Drum Key Bling:

Moffett Jewelry Drum Keys are patent pending luxury Rolls-Royce quality wearable jewelry drum key series by Jonathan Moffett! Each key is designed with easy detachable clamps that make it simple to pull off from your necklace or bracelet when needed for use and reattach when finished tuning your drums!

SweetBeats Drumsticks:

SweetBeats sticks were designed for both versatility & convenience. My patented “Duo” double-tipped design, which I designed many years ago, provides a broader sonic dynamic range between the two tips on each end.

While a traditional single tip stick provides one specific sound and limited sonic range, SweetBeats caters to all types of music, from soft ballads to heavy rock music.

SweetBeats has a larger tip on one end, and a smaller tip on the other. This “Duo” design makes it easy for any drummer to easily switch from various types of songs — from soft to hard-hitting tunes — with a simple flip. No need to switch to an entirely different drumstick.

Jonathan “Sugarfoot” Moffett has played with the following artists:

The Jacksons, Anthony Vincent, Babyface, Barry Manallow, Chico DeBarge, Diana Ross, David Cassidy, Edgar Winter, Elton John, George Michael, Isaac Hayes, Janet Jackson, Jasmine Guy, Jermaine Jackson, Julian Lennon, Kenny G, La Toya Jackson, Lindsey Buckingham, Lionel Richie, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Patti Austin, Peter Cetera, Prince, Quincy Jones, Richard Marx, Rick James, Stevie Wonder, Tito Jackson, Wilson Phillips, and many more….
