Nandi Bushell is thirteen years old,. Her Dad, John(seated shotgun in the car and on the couch in the background) is British and her her Mom( Lungile) is Zulu African. She resides in Ipswich, UK. She is a drumming prodigy who's become a multi instrumentalist. She plays the piano, guitar, bass, saxophone and of course, drums. She's performed with the Foo Fighters in The Forum in California and again in Wembley Stadium
USA here. I just watched this girl's drum video the day before, 1st time ever seeing her. She will be a great drummer. Her drum composing for this song was great. LOVE HER !!!
If you want to do more from Drumeo you should 100% check out Chad Smith’s video from these guys. My respect for him as a musician skyrocketed after it.
The journey of Dave Grohl being made aware of Nandi and her drumming years before this video are really great and it was fun to organically see it begin as a playful drum battle to her performing with them multiple times including as one of the drummers in Wembley paying tribute to Shane Hawkins after his passing.
Their Drum Battle is fun to watch. And the Taylor Hawkins concert where all the drummers ( including Nandi) take songs and sit in with the Band is touching.
Great reaction to a great little drummer. I first heard of her when she challenged Dave Grohl to a drum off and it was brilliant. She has her own YT channel and is well worth a checkout. As for accents, my wife lived in SA for quite a few years growing up but has lost her accent and my grandaughters BF is from Zimbabwe and his family had to move and came over to England a few years back, but he still has quite a strong twang. Even though I have a brummie accent like Ozzy Osbourne ( he grew up 10 minutes away from me) I would pick up the SA or Zimbarbwean accent in a week. I love the sound of it.
She is so gifted! Loved her drum battle with Dave Grohl. One of the happy and positive stories when the world was locked down. I was in high school when this was released. I loved Twisted Sister and the rest of our hair bands! To put time into perspective, this 80s kid has 7 grandchildren - the oldest is 10 years old. She's amazing, and time goes by so fast!
My wife and i have been watching Nandi for 3 years plus now and to watch your faces throughout the whole video is exactly the way we always feel, shes just amazing, great reaction
she plays a multitude of instruments and sings and is an actor as well! been following her journey for years and its incredible to see how far she has come
Love the reaction, nice to see nandi "virgins" and boy oh boy have you opened a can of worms. Not too mention the joy of you both reacting to more nandi. What a journey
Man this brought back memories, 'we're not gonna take it' was the first song I ever learned to play on drums 41 years ago or so at 8-9 years old, I still love that song, also 'I wanna rock' which was the second song I learned to play.
For an older guy's view on how to hold drum sticks, see the 2 min. video "Buddy Rich on why he doesn't use match grip". Neil Peart has one too. For another modern drummer see the video "The Aristocrats - Blues F*ckers Drum Solo" (15:48), supposedly a parody of blues songs written by drummer Marco Minnemann. It is actually the whole song, with humorous elements due to Guthrie Govan's satirical fretless guitar playing. Actually he uses a matched grip, but picked up some of Buddy Rich's stick tricks.
I'd love to see you two react to the "Chad Smith Hears 30 Seconds To Mars For The First Time" video from that Drumeo series. Most drummers on there listen through the track several times, make notes, decide what they're going to play, etc. and THEN do a couple of takes. Chad - living up to his name - handles the challenge a lot more like Ash's mate, Bernie, and shows what a drummer with 40+ years of arena level drumming experience and metric F-tons of session work can do. It's UNREAL. Plus he just seems like the coolest guy ever. Also, outside of Drumeo, you might enjoy seeing the videos from when 9 year old Nandi challenged Dave Grohl to a drum-off and he accepted. The first round of back-and-forth videos is just them drumming at each other (she does the Foo Fighters song, "Everlong," and he does a song from his band with Josh Homme, Them Crooked Vultures) and those vids are cool and all but the second round is Dave and Nandi writing and playing songs they wrote about each other. Those second-round videos are super fun and I think you'd have a good time with them. If you want to see Dave Grohl's song about Nandi, it's on the Foo Fighters channel and is called "Nandi Bushell | Official Theme Song." ruclips.net/video/LuIFi9EwCWM/видео.htmlsi=vYfd3_55y16WFwJC BUT if you want to kill two birds with one stone and hear Dave's song while watching Nandi react to it for the first time, that version of the video is on her channel and the video's called "Dave Grohl VS Nandi Bushell EPIC Battle - Round Two! The stakes have been raised!" ruclips.net/video/Wj3EdfXVSb8/видео.htmlsi=xrcwiTUkKUjo71n6 And to see the song she wrote about Dave Grohl, the video is on her channel and is called "Rock and Grohl - The EPIC Battle - Original Song by Nandi Bushell." ruclips.net/video/bOhxf6mBp7A/видео.htmlsi=hdYofT0TnMlBpceH

yall should watch the masterclass video she did with chad smith and gregg bissonette! shes younger there but the video is so so good! i could recommend so many of her videos haha
I know it's been said, but I'm saying Chad Smith and 30 seconds to mars must be done Also, there is drum cam footage of Joey playing creeping death at that download show. His double kick is incredible to watch from straight behind. His wearing his mask is awesome too
Nandi was my inspiration to take up a life long goal to play the drums. You should check out her challenging Dave Grohl to a drama during the Covid pandemic.
can't do this series without doing chad smith doing 30 seconds to mars he takes 30 seconds to get it.. AMAZING!! not just the best drumming youtube vid but one of the best youtube vids full stop. 10 million views ruclips.net/video/HMBRjo33cUE/видео.html

Thanks! 😊
Thank you!!
AND WE LOVE YOU! You are so freaking awesome and bring SOOOOOOOOOOO many smiles to all of us! You are seriously amazing.

She played with the Foo Fighters twice, at the LA Forum in '21 and at the Taylor Hawkins Tribute. You guys should check these out.
She challenged him. Dave I mean. Lost 2 teams he did. She was invited to a concert. Love her

Nandi is from Norwich, she has a popular channel for a few years now, and has played with Dave Grol
She's from Ipswich.
I'd love to see Twisted Sister's reaction to Nandi Bushell. I absolutely love her take on the song.
She joined the Foo Fighters on stage during a concert and played flawlessly. A must watch video.
NB is such a beast on drums. What fun.

That was a lot of fun to watch. I grew up listening to the original but would listen to her version over and over if she released it.
she challenged dave grohl to a drum off, and won. according to grohl.
that delicate hi hat work, love that, this little young miss is on the road to stardom
That was awesome. Very talented 👏

So damn talented! It feels like if Rush covered that song

Another good one by that channel is Megadeth's drummer doing Mr. Brightside by The Killers.
The bridge is a specific section of the song intended to provide contrast to the rest of the composition
She's a South African born British musician.

Twisted 🤘Sister🔥
Nandi was my inspiration to take up a life long goal to play the drums. You should check out her challenging Dave Grohl to a drama during the Covid pandemic.
Check out Domino Santantonio hearing slipknot for the first time
When, not if but when, she becomes part of or starts a band I got a feeling I will be a fan.
When the drummers over-qualified for the gig 😂
She's great. You need to watch the Chad Smith episode of drumeo as well.
And without reading all the comments, I’m going to go ahead and tell you that she is from Ipswich
Do the Chad Smith one,,30 seconds to mars
