    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 ❤️

    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.

    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.

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.

    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!

    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 !

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...

    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

    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.
