Yeah. Talk about pressure. And she just rocked that stage like it was nothing at all. What a performance.

Dude seriously. The drummer from Nirvana in front of you, the drummer from the foo fighters behind you. Absolutely insane.

Oh, she had a few butterflies, to be sure.

@@dross2172 fuckin insane genious amazing great Lady

And watch the look of complete joy on his face as he chills with his son and soak it all in. He is legit ecstatic for her. It takes class act to do what he did. Foo Fighters are now just a bunch of dads that make awesome music.

Dude, I feel so sad now. She wanted to keep the pair, this was a big moment for her.

whoever caught that stick should send it to her

yeah whoever has that stick should send it to her - I'm sure those sticks are absolute treasures for her.

She is going to go places with this degree of skill.....I will not be surprised if this may be a "THE DAY" that the Foo Fighters remember in years to come, as well.

This is just the beginning for Nandi, true talent like hers will take her anywhere she wants.

Just your country? i think all over the world. you never know, where the talent like this is gonna pop.

Couldn't agree with you more!👏👏

I'm 40 and I've been playing music since I was Nandi's age. And I'd still find a way to mess up, miss a transition or start another verse in stead of a chorus

Another argument would be that at that age some kids don’t really know what “pressure” is, or they haven’t yet gotten into their own heads yet

I really hope the music industry can find a way to help her in her career. Or maybe to go to the best music schools possible. Nandi worked hard enough for it plus she got real talent. What she did is something not many kids can do. Technically AND the chance to play with one of the world's most famous bands.

One thing to play in front of camera in your home.. Playing live in front of thousands, is another beast altogether.

Sorry but you're a little mistake and remember when you were young I do and we never felt pressure when we were young part of the amazing thing being a child. 😁

Saw that too.

I'm glad she kept it - that could put someones eye out! I left a "Great White" concert years and years ago with a knot on the top of my head because the drummer threw his sticks into the audience; one of them hit me in the damn head. That shit hurt like hell and I realized after the fact that he could have put my eye out.

I was wondering if she didn't want to throw her drumsticks into the crowd because she wanted to keep one as a souvenir of this special moment for her

IKR, may be heresy but I'm not a huge fan of their music but I love the shit they do and how they treat their fans.

Whidbey, I'm the same, the Foo Fighters aren't my favorite band, Dave is my favorite musician though.

I can’t think of a band that does this kind of thing as much as they do.

@E M...and Taylor brought her up there again, and had her throw one of her sticks out to the crowd.

His introduction of her was EPIC 😎👍

I couldn't agree more!

She is bad a$$!!! She doesn't look tired, and it's clear she is having the time of her life! Child prodigy for sure!

Nothing simple about it. I'm not a drummer but I can see its fast and the transitions are complex. I agree. Beyond impressive

I can't agree more!!! Dave is just awesome!!!

I like the interaction between Taylor and Nandi at the end. Would love to know if she's talking technical drum stuff with Taylor.

@@sparkyguitar0058 I’m sure they did as she tweeted thanking both Dave and Taylor. But yeah we wanna know BTS of this magical night. 😍

“I’ve noticed some hissiness creeping into Zildjian’s ride cymbals. Have you?”

Or the most clever opertunist

46 yo here.....I know what you mean man.....Nandi brought a lot of joy to a lot of people in dark ages (Covid-19) exactly at the right time when we needed a positive vibe like she gives. AND she is incredible skilled....she will be a big star I am pretty sure. It's a small % pecentage of children that are this good in drumming (physically it must be heavy as shit to drum a set like Nandi did with her tiny arms).

She got me too

Me to, im blaming having a teenage daughter lol

Oh c’mon you lot, get a grip

The tears were rolling here too man !

Why the quotes around "just turned 16"? Not sure if you meant that you're quoting someone? Or you're implying that she didn't "just turn 16” for some reason?

To me HER! I love it! She is a natural performer in addition to being a prodigy drummer. Awe inspiring.

Yeah. At 1st I thought he was Workin the bass kick. But. Now I reckon she is

Yeah. My Trig teacher told me after I excelled on a test, "Pretty good 4 a girl".

@@Nina-hk7ub This is beautiful!

@@TheSkyHive did you read what she said? lol

I note that Taylor sat back and gave her the stage. That’s respect of the best kind.

100%

I'm not a drummer and I noticed that, she is improving by leaps and bounds. On some of her videos people some of the musicians talk about "I started when I was 17"... she's so far ahead of the curve, that it's hard to imagine a world in which she isn't a future among greatest of all time. This performance was near perfect as far as I can tell.

@@cardsfanboy + RIGHT

Dave and Taylor probably ran her through it a few times during practice before the show.

Kills me every time I see that part x

The circle of life.

RIP Reed Mullin 😇 🥁 Goooooo Nandi 🥰

Damn right! Very bright future for some of the young and upcoming drummers!

Here’s a 13 year old try at Everlong. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r9xoqpWUz7q9kYk.html

Wow so well put nice one bro 🤘

Total class act!

I had the honor of meeting him at work. Very nice guy!!

And what a mentor for Nandi to have - he's seen it all and come through the other side. Could you imagine having an Uncle Dave Grohl to call when you're down, or to call you when you're going off the rails? But Nandi's had brilliant parenting - I trust that she'll make it through adolescence on a pretty steady keel - much more upstairs than the average kid pop sensations...

Yup. The guy breaks his leg and still finishes the show. The guys from kings of Leon had a bird shit on the guitar player and they walked off stage. Dave grohl understands it’s the fans that made him who he is (nirvana helped too)

@@emjay3066 are you still falling for the propaganda almost 2 years later. 🤦‍♂️

I cried like a baby… I’m soooo proud of her!

Absolutely, truly generous and motivational to give a young musician like Nandi a view of the 'big stage' and the opportunity to play with a big name band. Fantastic !

As a father with my own daughter, and also being a musician myself (on the side, at least), just seeing the uninhibited passion and joy on her face being in her element got me a bit misty-eyed as well. Those are the moments you live to see as a parent and fellow human being.

Yeah-I got something in my eye too...

Dude, what? I wasn’t crying either.

She sure did. Fact

those hi hats were on point

When I heard that Taylor Hawkins had died, the first thing I thought of was his interaction with Nandi at the end of this video. How he encourages her to throw her sticks into the crowd, and she throws one and is about to throw the other, and then changes her mind. While we can’t hear their conversation, it’s obvious what they were saying to each other. Taylor immediately supports her decision to keep that stick. It’s such a lovely moment of connection between two extraordinary musicians.

I'm not crying, you're crying!

I’m not crying. There’s something in my eyes

She is absolutely amazing. And the joy on her face is priceless.

These God damned allergies...

She is a beast dang 👊👊

Ikr? I never realized how freakin FAST the drums are on this song. She blew it out of the water.

I been drumming for a couple years and I cant even get through most of Everlong, this girl is so talented its insane

@@porkman302 As nandi has said in numerous interviews... she's been practicing daily for six years learning the basics, techniques, and songs ... keep at it and rock on Pork Man!! :)

@@porkman302 Her mantra is "Just be yourself, have fun, and Practice Practice Practice". I think we can see this in this video, what a stunning moment. Also, Foo fans are the best for the warm welcome they gave to Nandi. Blew my socks off without removing my shoes!! 😃

I don't think there ARE any other kids like Nandi Bushell in the world! But I'm absolutely positive that she has inspired some more kids out there to practice and work hard at what they love and I hope we'll be seeing their skills someday too. I can not wait to see what she does for music in about ten years if she's this phenomenal now!

How you have these massive concerts with people stacked together when hospitals are flooded with people?? Extremely irresponsible

@@woutkoopman Vaccinations

@@Dave311Freak She is amazing ! However, not everyone is vaccinated plus you can still get covid if you are vaccinated. Not as badly, but not great.

@@woutkoopman All vaccinated!!! Wearing masks.

@Amy McGraw-Pate Very good to hear that. I didn't see everyone with masks in front of their faces, but full vaccination or 48h test should be sufficient (unless people lie about it, they did it in our country).

Hopefully not strung out on smack like all the greats

@@pbplauralfilms You took that dark real quick.

Going to be interesting to see if she continues in rock drumming or venture into something more jazz oriented. She certainly will be able to write her own ticket.

@@jimbo029 She already plays guitar, bass, and keyboards. So, yeah.

@@princeofcupspoc9073 add saxophone to that list! :-)

She is incredibly talented. Her Instagram is great!

Been following her for 2 years too, and I am watching this with tears in my eyes as if I'm her aunt. So proud. Her parents must be so so proud. She is fan-tas-tic! The next Sheila E. OR maybe even better ..♥️

@@lisakobenhavn78 Oh Lisa, decidely more talent than Sheila. At her age, and considering she will rise in talent, she has no contemporaries!

@@danfeeney3519 you should check out her good friend Yoyoka from Tokyo. She's just as skilled, with a little more polish.

@@katyas-mom no

Read someone say he was "the Keanu Reeves of rock" & I can't argue with that. Lol

Everyone should be a big FF fan........everyone....

She’s not a precious baby girl, she’s a fucking Rockstar!!!!!!!

@@rdmatthews2 Well said, sir! 👍

Totally and the fact it is not about her gender but her pure skills will encourage so many. Well said Sir!

@@rdmatthews2 She's a precious fucking rockstar! And so is Dave! Two absolutely precious, joy-filled, rocking-the-fuck-out souls up there on that stage!!!

That's Empathy, and it's a wonderful feeling 👍

I know one thing, Nandi probably healed a lot of sad people in the world just by sharing her amazing video's (with and without Dave Grohl). In the peak of covid I discovered her channel and I followed her on both youtube and facebook ever since. The personality, musical skill Nandi has is simply empowering and healing (yes, healing....she made many people feel better after having a shitty day).

Exact same here. Saw the Nandi's Dad recording from way to the side first. Hours later bumped into this one and watched it. Freakin' teared up both times. I'm not sure what it is. It has something to do with unadulterated anti-sarcastic anti-ironic pure love & joy - love of music - the joy of achievement and of life. It sounds as soppy as it is I suppose but bottle it up because the world needs it.

I’ve been following Nandi for a couple of years and this is EPIC! Well done you! I too was screaming through the video like her dad. Made my week

This one is BETTER!!! I have seen many…. Every time i watch another…. CHILLS!!!!!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p72hfsJm2J7ehn0.html

Absolutely agree 110% - he is an incredible person to ensure this young musician has the opportunity to do this with a very famous band. Wonderful in the extreme.

110% True

conclusive post-mortems were conducted years ago

You’re a monster if this didn’t make you cry, Watching that young girl lead one of the biggest rock bands in the world….. BRB need tissues.

Yes tears of joy.

@@Sethrickable and she didn't miss a beat

I so admire Dave for his unbridled joy of someone else having a good time.

Me too

No its just we have seen kids her age a million times better. But she's a girl and black so she's some sensation. No dues payed at all. Its why rock is rapidly becoming so uncool.

@@breal1183 woooooooooooooooooow.

@@breal1183 well this "black" "girl" is definitely cooler than you. How many headlines have you made? Lets be real, B Real.

@@breal1183 She is a fantastic drummer for any age. And if we are gonna be real, if we closed our eyes and just listen to the song would we know it wasn't Taylor? For a few seconds a lot of people thought they both were playing. My ears tell me she did a damn good job. If all my eyes can see is a 'black girl' then I must be blind. A kid who doesn't wanna to take up turntable or mac for an instrument is a very cool thing. I watched grown ass men cry at the Forum as she played...also a very cool thing.

@@breal1183 Well all opinions are valid to the person spouting them. Those catch words though "she's a girl" misogynistic cause girls can't be good? Mercedes Lander for one, "black" who gives 2 shits about color but if we must go there Larnell Lewis an absolute apex predator of a drummer... happens to be black, "no dues paid" challenged Dave to a drum off in a time of despair and depression and brought happiness to people. Just B (ing) Real you a racist misogynistic child of a person.

Could not have said it better, myself..

@@markdeen9316 .....a strong and beautiful feeling... Bless

Totally!!!

Yup

Me too, stranger.

CAN'T...STOP...THE..TEARS OF JOY

Same

The f-bombs are the only thing about Dave grohl that I don't like other than that he is awesome.

I love how much he obviously respects her. It would be so easy for this to be a gimmick, like “isn’t it cute that this kid plays the drums,” but no. He recognizes and treats her as a fellow musician. It’s wonderful to see.

She has it alright!

great stick tricks too!

You act as if she's been carrying her drums to gigs and sleeping in vans on tour for decades.

@@boofert.washington2499 🙄 Appreciate the moment.

@@boofert.washington2499 were you born a buzzkill or did you learn that in pre-school?

@@jeffharder8706 someone wasn’t held enough as a child.

@@ParkTheSnark he should have been dropped more as a child, what an idiot

Most definitely arguably ... but she kicked sss.

Lmao they’re not even top 100.

Nandi

that is honestly the best part of this video. That was pure joy there.

You're right. This is one of the most American moments I can think of in recent history... And she isn't even American.

always in tears when i see her. The new guard. Rip Master Sir Charlie Watts.

I am not one to be politically correct. Not sure why you had to inject "black gir... " though.

@Amy McGraw-Pate why did he have to say "black girl magic", what if it said "white girl magic " or "biracial girl magic"( which she appears to be). I was curious, that is why I asked about it. why is it mentioned?

me too

Right there with you!

Same here man... I've been through both Nirvana and Foo Fighters and this is just so amazing. Got my crying too 😥

Same. I am a guitarist and have been teaching my daughters. My six year old absolutely loves it, but her 3/4 scale electric is still a little heavy for her so we keep lessons short for now.

Count me in on that. Moved me beyond measure.

😂😂🤭🤭

I would love to hear his take on her performance.

Yeah. I’m feelin it too. She didn’t just play a song, she closed the show and took a bow with the Foo Fighters. And nailed the whole song.

Yeah I agree. The video, of this show, that Nandi posted on her KZfaq channel captures her prideful dad screaming in the back. It's awesome. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nN-mqq9ytbTKiI0.html

Yeah definitely not the only one. This little girl got all us macho rock stars bawling! Isn't it great?!

And now Saxophone.

Attention whores. Don't give them the satisfaction.
