People: "rock and roll is dead" Nandi: "hold my Capri-sun"

I'm a 50-year-old father of two grown-up daughters crying with tears of joy. This is fantastic. Well done Nandi and well done to Mr. and Mrs. Bushell for being fantastic parents.

She's really thumping the snare and floor tom for such a tiny frame and her work with 1/16th beats on the hi-hat has metronomic precision. The most amazing feature for me, though, is the lack of fear. Nandi KNOWS she can deliver at this level and she does. One of the most exciting rock performances on video. Terrific! Oh, and look how long the cheering lasts at the end. The audience can't believe what they've just witnessed.

What really got me was her littler brother balling his eyes out and giving her a huge hug. Often times siblings can become jealous when the other becomes successful. It’s a true testament to their parents. A little competitiveness is normal, but you can tell in this moment he was overcome with joy after seeing his big sister, whom he clearly looks up to, living her best life. So beautiful ❤️

I think your little brother captured everyone's emotions pretty well.

This is truly one of the greatest moments in music, ever. She's a star, a force of nature and deserving of all that comes in her future. The ending backstage is one of the loveliest brother/sister moments. What a family !!!!!!!!!!!

Your little brother crying at the end…. Do you know what that is, Nandi? He’s feeling so many things all at once, love, happiness, excitement, pride, joy, and all those emotions coming out at one time just come out as tears. He loves you so dearly. It’s clear you’re not only a great drummer, you’re a terrific big sister. Good on you and your family.

Nothing but respect for Dave Grohl. Here is a superstar who with his band has just performed 2 1/2 hours and at the end of the show, he steps aside to give her center stage to take in the cheers of the audience. Class act! And Yes, Nandi. What an awesome performance. Well done!

I was there! She stole the hearts of everyone in the whole arena! Nandi Rocks!😎❤️ I feel like I witnessed a true star being born!🤩

Glad I’m not the only one with tears in my eyes can’t imagine how much the parents cry with pride while watching 😭😀

I'm a drummer and playing this type of beat is very hard to do..you got to have a lot of energy and endurance..She's a pro already.

Love how Miss Nandi calls Dave 'Mr. Grohl'.

I absolutely love how she decides, and then says "I want to keep this one" when throwing the sticks. Kind of makes it more special to have just one.

Awww her brother at the end 😫

SOBBING 😭😭😭 her little brother at the end is everyone watching this!! As a child I was a little alt black girl in love with rock in the 90s and seeing Nandi's dreams come true s seriously a DREAM for my innerchild and the mid 30s adult I am now! SHE MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS!! Keep dreaming and playing BIG babe!! ❤❤❤❤

Nandi you are a Fantastic Muscian.

Y'know...it's not just that Nandi's already this good at this age...there are a lot of really gifted musical prodigies. But the fact that she's already this stage-savvy, that she has the kind of stage presence to engage a crowd that size and the presence of mind to not let her emotions run away with her...THAT is truly unique. I hope this is only the first of many surprise appearances...and I hope that when the time comes, we get to see Nandi, leading her band, announcing their special guest Dave Grohl. These really are the kinds of stories that restore faith in humanity.

Her primal scream gets me every time. I just so love this, Dave Grohl is amazing...

I'm a grown man and I cried as hard as her younger brother. We're all proud of you Nandi!

People saying it brought a tear to their eyes. What are you talking about, A TEAR?!?!?!? I was ugly crying at the end of this video! There is so much joy in this video! You are awesome, Nandi! ❤❤❤

The people that gave this a thumbs down are just jealous that Nandi is so much cooler than they are.

I kinda knew that Nandi and Thomas were close. But I had no idea just how much until their Dad filmed Thomas' reaction after Nandi left the stage. There was nothing but pure heartfelt joy from Thomas as he teared up holding on to his sister. Mr. and Mrs. Bushell are remarkable parents raising remarkable children. I was surprised that John (Nandi's Dad) wasn't hoarse after all that screaming. I definitely would have been.

The fact that she nails a song that many drummers(even pros) can struggle with is amazing!

The thing I love about this is that at no point did Dave refer to her as this little girl or mention her age. That didn't need to be said. He just kept bringing up her talent and how good she was behind the kit-- and he was absolutely right. I loved this and like the rest of you I'm bawling like crazy. Seeing her brother once she comes off? I mean, come ON.

The whole crowd knows Nandi before she even comes out 👌🏽👌🏽

In high school I remember being so nervous that I almost threw up giving a presentation in front of 20 classmates. For her to have the confidence and composure, at 11 years old, to be able to walk on stage in front of 20,000 people and absolutely nail it amazes me. Nandi just has that "it" factor. Her talent along with her joy and enthusiasm make her really special.

It is interesting seeing Taylor's son actually shadowing Nandy (1:05) as she plays, and then applauding in approval along with her dad who is bursting with pride.

I've been playing music for 30 years and this moved me more than anything I've seen. Nandi I can't wait to see where you go! Dave, Pat, Nate, Chris, Rami, I hope you all heal and thank you for the decades of music! Taylor you rest easy legend, you will live in our minds forever!

We knew. When that tiny drumset was wheeled out - we knew. It was awesome! Before the show, when we were outside, we couldn't imagine why they practiced Everlong so many times... then we knew. Great to see the backstage & soundcheck footage, especially Taylor's son watching, smiling and clapping. So great. All of it. Well done - and thank you!

Something I like about this whole thing is that the audience, all of them, know exactly what happened, and is beyond excited to see this go down with Miss Bushell. Way to go!

What the hell did I just watch? I ask because I've NEVER seen a performance like that. The joy, the excitement, the sheer talent. If watching Nandi perform doesn't have you running the gamut of emotion from curiousity to amazement to tears of joy, then NOTHING will ever come close. Well done Nandi! Well done!

This has to be one of the greatest moments in recent rock history. To see a band of old guys being put in charge of an 11 year old drummer, which totally nails is, is just a sight to behold. This is not an easy song to play as a drummer, and she completely drives the band the entire song. Her passion for music is so inspiring, and I can't wait to see what she'll do in the future.

And this is why I have loved Dave & Foos for 26 years. All heart & class. Total badasses.

As Dave Grohl said: at a time when there is so much unhappy news in the world this was an absolute breath of fresh air.

One of the most bad ass moments in rock and roll history and a few crusty old rockers beaming smiles because they got to be a part of it. I'm so glad you kept that stick Nandi, real class move.

The World 🌎 needs more Dave Grohl and Nandi Bushell ❤️❤️❤️

Now, finally, may we please have “I WANNA SCREAM LIKE NANDI” tshirts????? 😆 😍

No matter how many times I see this, I get emotional. I feel the pride for you that your dad does. I feel the excitement I see pulsing within you from playing with Foo Fighters. And as a fellow musician, I also feel that euphoric buzz when you begin to play. I get it, its difficult to explain but when you start playing, nothing else matters and you just feel, free. I can't wait to see what your bright future beholds. Keep practicing and pursuing it!

Man.....I love this moment with her and Taylor. So sad...

I stumbled across this video a few weeks ago and have probably watched it 30 times since then (when I need a mood booster). Truly incredible and inspiring. Nandi's drumming was incredible but hats off to Dave Grohl - to be so down to earth to have her do this puts him at the top of the first page in my book. Friggin' class act and good human being.

Dave thank you so very much for answering the drum-off challenge so that we could all meet Nandi, and be reminded that through dedication hard work and family nurturing a talented young lady can travel to the edge of space and play with the stars. Thanks to you Dave, she can even hold a star in her hand for a moment, and the world got to share just what it meant to her and her family.

She’s not only a great drummer, but with that big smile, she belongs on the big stage. A real gem.

Nandi is truly a blessing from the Rock Gods.

I'm a 51yr old Mom and when I was little, I wanted to play the 🥁's. I never did get to live that dream, but watching you live yours makes me so happy for you! Keep rockin' Nandi!

As a brother, Thomas's reaction at the end has me bawling my eyes out. Rock on 🤘

As a dad of 4 …. 3 grown boys and a soon to be 7 year old daughter, watching her made me so happy and proud for her and oddly quite tearful. Probably one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on KZfaq 🥰

The last minute is one of the most precious moments any of us could ever hope to live.

Nandi you have been the brightest shining light over the past horrible 18 months, and brought joy to millions. I used to rely on videos of puppies to cheer me up, but now you have that effect too! I wish I could freeze time so you stayed 11 for ever! I have been a massive fan of rock music for nearly 50 years, and seen countless bands, including seeing Neil Peart, the greatest drummer that ever lived, and although I haven't seen you play live yet you are definitely the most EXCITING drummer I have ever come across. Don't ever lose that energy and passion you put into your drumming, and indeed all your instruments, because it is that which sets you above and apart from all the others. I can't wait to see more of what you do and I bet your dad has a lot more footage of your time in LA with the Foos that we would all love to see. Love and respect. The rock gods are definitely smiling upon you!!

I am very jaded in life but this family and this kid restores "HOPE" in my outlook on humanity. They made me cry with joy from the innocence and love coming from this little girl. Her maturity, drive, and focus are so inspiring to me who is in my 40's right now. That's very powerful! Just think, she's not allowed to drive a car, she's not allowed to buy booze, she can't vote but she just killed backing a Rock N Roll Hall of Fame band in a SOLD OUT show in Los Angeles. The Bushell Family should be celebrated for sharing and helping people. I never, ever leave comments anywhere but felt compelled to do so here. This is truly magical and pure. I hope Nandi feels the same amount of joy she gives everyone with her amazing talent. Congrats on raising the perfect kids. Teach a class on it and humanity will be restored

See how proud and emotional you brother got? That is how I feel every time I watch the various clips of you closing the show and blowing the roof off of the forum. Tears of Joy ! The kind of tears of Joy I felt back in 1985 when watching Queen perform at Live Aid. I do not know you but I am as proud of you like your brother Thomas is proud of you. What an example you have set for him. Seeing you achieve a dream like this warms my heart. You have the energy and intensity of Keith Moon from The Who. He is one of my favorite drummers. Keep practicing and always strive to be a better drummer. Keep the beginners mindset. That is what my all time favorite drummer Neil Peart of Rush would do. I would also like to say thank you to Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins and the rest of The Foo Fighters for providing you the opportunity to close the show at the world famous Forum. You Crushed it ! It was one of those rare magical musical moments that the world will never forget.

I’m a lifetime rocker and this is one of the the most amazing rock moments I’ve ever seen!! Your outstanding talent has brought you here and will take you to far more places in the future. Way to go Nandi!!

She played that as well as one of the best drummers in the world...and she's 11 years old. WoW

You're 11, I'm 43. I'm almost 4 times as old as you but you've already achieved more than me. You have me in tears every time I watch you Nandi. Such a talent, skill and smile. Nothing phases you. Keep going.

Ahh bless him, crying because he's so proud of his sister. What an experience

God Bless Nandi's parents for helping & supporting Nandi reach her full potential. You are great parents xxx

Nandi, you're THE Queen of Rhythm . Should Mr. Grohl & Company decide to carry on after the devastating loss of Taylor, I couldn't think of anyone more worthy to fill his shoes than you. You are a phenom. Mad props and respect, lady. I've watched various videos of this event, and not a single one fails to bring me smiles and make me misty-eyed. So glad you had this opportunity. Cheers, my dude. Keep hammering away.

As a Melbournian, it’s great to have something so uplifting to reflect on today. Took my mind and soul to a better place. Thankyou Nandi. Thankyou Dave, and Foo Fighters, and crew. Thankyou Mr. and Mrs. Bushell.

And then Nandi and the Foo made everyone smile,dance, and cry at the same time. Ill admit, I watch the videos of this constantly now since I first saw it. Same feelings come out everytime and my eyes leak. Ty for putting one up with some backstage stuff. You Nandi are so great and your parents are doing a fantabulous job. I cant say thank you enough. I even ordered a copy of modern drummer with you. Mabey someday when you are out touring, I will get it signed. Keep rockin.

It's OK, little brother, that made me cry too - what a talent! Sick!

Wow. Incredible. I'm happy that some of my footage was used for this video. I'm even happier that I was there to witness this in person. Every time I watch video of this performance (and even half the time when I just think about it!), I end up with tears running down my cheeks. Nandi, this was so wonderful. You earned this moment, and I'm glad that your dream came true that night. Here's to many many more moments like this in your future...

This is LEGENADARY! What an absolute behemoth on the drums at 11yrs old! You are amazing Nandi, I cannot wait to see what the future holds in store for you. You might be your parents daughter, but now .. you are the world's daughter and we all love you! Thank YOU for allowing us to share this beautiful moment with you and your family and Thank YOU Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters for making this happen!! I can't listen to the original version anymore unless it's this version.. sorry Dave.

The best Foo Fighters video of Nandi's epic version of Everlong. Brilliant version of the highlights, thank to her very clever Dad.

I can not stop watching this video, the first time watching it I cried. Thank God for Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters. To have this talented young lady play with them during a packed concert was HUGE, and she killed it ! I always loved the song "Ever long", from watching past performances of Taylor Hawkins rocking on the drums while playing the song it seemed very fast and difficult for a less experienced drummer to play. To see this young eleven year old girl get on stage and KILL the drums to that song words can not describe. I know her parents are very proud of her, and the appreciation they must feel for the Foo Fighters for giving Nandi that moment in front of thousands of fans. Out of this dark year of 2021 it is wonderful to see some pure musical joy !

Omg the last few seconds of the video…. Don’t miss it. Watch till end.

Watch this without crying, I dare you. Thank you Nandi!!! Keep rockin!

Her sweet little brother made me tear up!

God damn the best thing I have ever seen. Thank god for humanity. Awesome

Absolutely glorious. Nandi is not the only star in the Bushell family. You’re clearly all wonderful people. Thank you so much for sharing these joyous moments 🙏🙏🙏.

There's no way to watch this without feeling amazing. Nandi's joy is so infectious and it's so deserved

Keep hold of your brother Nandi. He's going to be your hero. Xx

I am here crying my eyes out. I am so proud of her

I feel proud of her, I can't imagine how her parents feel!💗

This is like my tenth time watching this performance, since it happened, and every fucking time I get the chills and then tear up. What Dave did for this young lady, will put a mark in her life, that she will never ever forget!! Congratulations Nandi!! ❤️💕 🥁 🎙️ 🎸 🦙🏟️💕🎇🎆🎉🎉

Holy crap, you’re so good. And I’m not even going to say “for your age”, that is not an easy song to play, especially for the first time in front of thousands of people. You absolutely rule 🤘

I’m writting you from Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina. I’m 66, and coulomb be your grandpa 😊, In want to express my admiración and respect for your talent. And would like to express my respect to your phathers, they are doing a great Job in you. But overall I thank you for your music. Believe it or not I discover Foo Fighters thanks to you. Blessings!

Anyone else tear up when they watch this?

OHHHHH HER LIL BRO AT THE END....SO CUTE 🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nandi I'm an old man and you're my hero! Keep up the good work you're wonderful.

The world is a better place with the Bushell family in it. You guys are awesome!

Brilliant just absolutely brilliant all of it in every aspect. The joy, energy, musicality, ability, determination and dedication . A few role models here Dave Grohl, Nandi, her parents and the rest of the Foo Fighters. Thanks very much mister Grohl and miss Bushell

There are very few people who can jam the way she just did!!!! Dave Grohl, you are the absolute best!!!! Dave is a gentleman, awesome family man and a rock god!!!!! This entire video made me want to be there so badly!!!!!!

Is anyone hasn’t watched this entire story unfold, do it NOW! Your love for Nandi will grow exponentially! She is a stud on those drums!!! Unreal she’s only 11!!!!

This should go down as one of the best videos on KZfaq. Great moment of a future rock star showing her talent and determination. Such a inspiration spreading joy and love. For such a little sweet girl, You had the audience loving and enjoying u the whole time. U are a special young girl with love, joy, charisma with a natural talent that can bring the world together with ur musical talent.

I'm a 28 year old who took up drumming as a 14 year old and stopped when I reached around 19 because I was scared it wasn't 'cool'. Nandi, YOU are the true meaning of cool and Rock and Roll. Keep playing and rocking, you are a star!!

And wearing the red and black lumberjack! Keeping it alive!!!🤘🤘🤘

We're all back here crying again, yeah? Well done, Nandi!

The whole world should strive to be as nice as Dave and if all we got to was half as nice, the world would be such a better place! Thanks for the constant inspiration Dave Grohl! Congrats Nandi! Brilliant!

My First time watching this. I will have to watch again. Due to the Fact I Cried the Whole time. Blessings to the Foo Family. R.I.P. Taylor 🌹 🕊

So Very Special and Cool... And at the very end, Nandi... Thomas is so very happy for you! Love through the Ages...

Nandi young lady, there is a reason you have this talent. To bring joy to all who hear you. So sad that Taylor is gone and the grieving process must go on, but you should really be the next drummer for the Foo Fighters now. My hat is in your corner and I hope this happens for you. God bless you.

That's the best little brother like ever..... As to you Nandi, you're an amazing person with talent beyond measure. Enjoy life kiddo. Keep doing your thing, stay focused, but don't forget to have fun doing kid stuff too. Amazing job!

Just what I needed to lift my spirits on a gloomy day!!!

The world loves you Nandi. Your a star!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Foo fighters made a dream come true for that young lady and she just kicked ass...amazing drummer...
