This is not a replica, reproduction or commemorative item. This is an original professional floor tom personally used by Jonathan “Sugarfoot” Moffett during his time performing with Janet Jackson in 1993.
The early 1990s represent an extraordinary period in Janet Jackson’s career and in modern live music history. Jonathan brought his unmistakable power, precision and explosive performance style behind the drums during this era, contributing to the live sound and energy associated with one of the most influential artists of her generation.
This floor tom comes directly from Jonathan’s professional touring inventory. It was not created as memorabilia after the fact. It was an actual working instrument from his career, preserved for more than three decades before being released from his personal collection.
Its age, markings and signs of use are not imperfections to be removed. They are part of the history of the instrument and reflect its life as professional touring equipment.
Jonathan has personally signed and dated the floor tom, documenting its direct connection to him and adding another layer of provenance to this exceptionally rare collectible.
For a serious collector, the significance of this piece lies in something that cannot be recreated: an original instrument with direct provenance from the artist who personally owned and played it.
More than three decades after its use, Jonathan is now offering this floor tom to a collector who will become the next custodian of this unique piece of his musical history.
Shipping is not included in the listed purchase price. Due to the size, weight, value and historical nature of the instrument, shipping arrangements will be handled separately after purchase.
