Indeed! Her kind of crazy was so fun! That song is such an iconic 80s tune. You just couldn't escape it at the time. It still has a good rebellious energy.
Been a drummer for 45yrs, this girl is Off the chain Excellent, she will Definitely be on stage with a band and making stacks of cash... and her personality is fantastic.
I so want to see the original artists reacting to these videos. Nandi absolutely KILLED it, she's so precise and expressive just all the time non stop. Excellent stuff.
I was just thinking while watching this that I would love to watch Dee Snyder react to this video and get his take on her interpretation of what the drums should do for the song.
She’s still so much a little girl, but behind the drums she’s a beast. She can definitely give the so called professionals a major run for their money. She NEVER fails to impress me. 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
I got the chance to watch her live at Young Voices 2024 last month in Birmingham UK and she is an absolutely insane drummer for 13 years old. To be at this level at this age is incredible. Her composition for this song was outstanding.
Love how she says "I shouldn't be too crazy" and just does crazy fills all over the place 😅 If this is holding it back this kid got some killer grooves and fills in store for sure 😎
It's wild hearing her style over a hair metal tune, a style known for having some VERY basic drumming hahahaha. It kinda sounds like if Mike Portnoy were in a hair band.
Amazing to see how much all of the drummers on here get so into the song and their facial expressions change to the song. She was getting into it hard. Loved it
I loved this! I got to see a drummer create their own part from scratch. So much better than "What if So-and-so did such-and-such guitar solo", because it is still based on the classic solo. In this case the drummer isn't influenced by anything but a drumless song, which is very different. I look forward to more videos like this.
She effin' killed it! Her interpretation of the cowbell was amazing! I was super impressed. I'm not as surprised now, to see how Foo Fighters identified her skill... so long ago. This was incredible. No offense to Twisted Sister... but, I think she really turned it up to "11".
Her cowbell rhythm was sick and her fills were amazing. She fell into the halftime swing pocket well although it was shaky in and out. I think she was playing the drums on the song and not in the song if that makes sense. Im excited to check her out in her comfort zone.
I didn't really think she was that great when she had that whole deal with Dave Grohl. I watched this expecting to click to something else quickly. Then she KILLED it. I was super impressed. I get it now. She is a specially talented drummer. Great job. I loved her high hat and cow bell use.
This program made me appreciate drummers as they have to coordinate hands and feet and they have a massive part of the song sometimes you dont realise. Well done to all drummers out there ❤ i appreciate you guys more now
Absolutely blown away by the incredible drumming skills of this young drummer! It's truly impressive to witness such talent at such a young age. I can only dream of reaching her level of mastery on the drums. The precision, timing, and energy she brings to her performance are truly remarkable. A true inspiration for aspiring drummers like myself!
It's crazy to know Nandi Bushell from the first time she ever appeared in a video, was already great and well on her way, and now seeing her getting better and better, more confident, more accurate, more relaxed and in control, yet she was almost perfect in the first place. How can you be even more perfect? Just growing up, learning, with humility, with her own take on things. Awesome. It's going to be a fun next 30 years.
She even has her drummer face perfected, incredible expressions of emotion and response to stimulus throughout. She's got a really bright future so long as she never gives it up.
So glad to see Nandi moving upwards. I remember when she wanted the drum off with Dave I reached out to Mark Shulman to see if he could help. Can’t say if he did or not but soon after, they were drumming across the globe with a drum off. Such a good young talent Nandi is. Happy for ya Nandi. Stay humble, play hard the world is your oyster.
Every time I see her play, I tear up 🥺 She’s so so so good and oh my, those fills! 🤯😱 Reminds me so much of a young Dave Grohl. Keep rocking Nandi. We all love ya 🤘❤
I think what you can really tell is that she is a) incredibly talented but also b) still has the fearlessness of young people. In her play, she explores, tries things and takes risks that a lot of more seasoned drummers wouldn't because we're often set in our ways already.
What I love about Nandi and seeing her play is how enthusiastic she is. You can see the passion oozing alongside that skill and talent she possesses. Makes me all emotional watching her in her element like that!
This makes me realize that sometimes i love this series when you see how close the drummer gets to the original without ever hearing it, and other times, i love this series when the drummer finds completely new and amazing things to do with a song we've heard a million times. But either way, i love this series!!! 😍
she is a multi instrumentalist player (guitar, bass, drums, piano). She started really young and has amassed fans in her IG and tiktok with her versions of many songs. Really cool to watch this girl growing from nowhere to playing with foo fighters live.
I caught myself thinking "she's rushing so much"! And then I remmembered she's a kid and just the fact I'm comparing her to an "adult, professional and super talented drumming standard" is just CRAZY, and she's RIGHT THERE! AS A KID! dammit, so good. Amazing fills and really creative parts. Also I'm glad for the cowbell trick.
This was both adorable and jaw droppingly impressive at the same time. Beyond having great chops she also shows a good understanding of song structure and how to drive a song forward 👏
This is proof that this young lady is in fact a youth drum prodigy if I've ever seen/heard of one!! I enjoyed HER VERSION better than the original. GREAT JOB!!
She was absolutely adorable and solved the case with really good taste, especially in such a short time! So cool to see these kids coming, they're going to make cool new things!🫶🏻🤟👏👏👏
@@samuelhall4056 Yeah she's clearly got a lot of skill but she needs to work on her timing and make sure it fits the song - I feel like this is a common issue with Internet drummers - it's all about being flashy and showing off, which is great for views on tiktok but far less important in an actual band than being able to keep time and play with other musicians. No hate to her at all, she's still young and has a lot of time to work on that stuff, and her skills are impressive considering her age, she just needs to work on the fundamentals alongside the stuff she's already good at
this track was better than the original by far. and she wasn't showing off, those fills were completely effortless for her. I'd be interested to see what she could do if she DID show off.
@@telanis9 She's extremely talented. Example: I'm a bassist and When I was 15, all I wanted to do was run up and down the neck as fast as possible. When I got into my 20's I learned to slow down and let things breathe. She'll learn that too overtime.
I've never seen anything like that. An improv and she's so young I wish her well as she doesn't need luck. When and if she ever does her drum cover to this I hope it's with that cowbell She definitely took the song to a different level.
This is such a great series. Love seeing artist bring their creative mind to a song without the influence of the original part of the song. Also great seeing how much they love their craft. You can see the gears turning as they work out what they are going to play and then you can see that mental effort combined with the soul and emotion when they put it together in their final run.
Her approach brings such a late 90s/early 00s pop-punk vibe to the whole song. If that version were released in that era, it still would have been a hit.
I've been watching their Christmas songs for a laugh and the musicianship is amazing, especially the Bass player. I didn't really notice the drummer, which usually means they are really good!
Twisted Sister in general were underrated. You Can't Stop Rock & Roll & Stay Hungry are great early 80s rock albums. The more poppy sound got them noticed though and is all most people remember. It doesn't help that they cemented that image with their follow-up albums.
Twisted Sister is always a plus, I would love to see what Dee Snyder thinks of Nandi absolutely just rocking out... From a video of Foo Fighters to Drumeo and the world, so happy for her, now we need to bring Caleb H into this... I WOULD LOVE to see him just blow peoples mind.
So young and so talented and she gave the song a different life. The cowbell really changed the song to be more amped. It matched perfectly. She did amazing 👏👏👏👏.
That was phenomenal. You can see how Nandi's taken all of the lessons from Chad Smith and Dave Grohl to heart. So happy to hear her keeping rock alive. I'd say her drums worked better in places than the original track, she had more fills and had some double kick in places. One of the best in this series.
