The Dave Grohl Nandi Bushell Rock Off Challenge started a month ago. If you have not heard of Nandi Bushell where have you been, this child star is one of the best drummers ever and she is only 9 years old. You may have seen her in the UK in the Argo commercials over Christmas.
She was given her first toy drum kit at the age of 5. Her farther John said “When we brought the toy drum kit home when Nandi was five, she instantly kept a beat going with perfect timing. I could not believe what I was hearing. It was beat-perfect and instinctive,” he explained.
She has had a lot of interest from celebrities over the years but this time she challenged Dave Grohl (The signer from the Foo Fighters but more importantly the drummer from Nirvana) to a drum off.
Round one the challenge.
In the first challenge Nandi absolutely nails Everlong by the Foo Fighters.
Round Two the reply from Dave Grohl.
Dave accepts Nandi’s challenge and give’s her the challenge of playing a song from one of his side project Them Crooked Vultures and the song Dead End Friends.
Round three Nandi V Dave
Nandi takes on Dave to give a perfect cover of Dead End Friends from Them Crooked Vultures.
Round Four the song.
The Dave Grohl Nandi Bushell Rock Off Challenge goes to the next level, Dave Grohl replies to Nandi and writes a song for her playing all instruments himself.
Dave Grohl once again cement’s his role as the most generous guy in music,
were not talking about money we are talking about taking the time to interact and help fans like Nandi.
Whilst we do have Foo Fighters and Nirvana T-shirts here at Rock Band T-Shirts, we don’t have any Nandi Bushell but I’m sure that will change as she is going to be a star.
