10-Year-Old Viral Drumming Prodigy Challenges Dave Grohl To A Drum Battle

Dave Grohl is one of the most iconic musicians of our time. Originally the drummer for Nirvana, Grohl moved on to form Foo Fighters after Kurt Cobain’s death.

10-year-old drummer Nandi Bushell thinks she can take on the veteran musician, who has 16 studio albums and more than three decades under his belt.

Nandi is a well-known prodigy, with a half-million Instagram followers and close to 100k Twitter followers. Her accounts are managed by her parents and she frequently posts jaw-dropping footage of her rocking out.

‘Message in the bottle’ by ‘The Police’. This was the most difficult song I have had to learn as it’s fast and tricky, but I love this tune!

Recently, Nandi put out a little challenge to Grohl. Through her social media accounts, she uploaded a video of her drumming along to Foo Fighters classic, “Everlong.”

My dream is to one day jam with Dave Grohl, @taylorhawkins and all the @foofighters! Mr Grohl I would love to have a drum battle with you! I LOVE Everlong it’s really hard to play as it’s so fast but so much FUN! #foofighters pic.twitter.com/Pmdhvl57uu

Clearly a Foo super fan, Nandi has references to the band all over her drum set.

Her Twitter post received nearly 67k likes, and her Instagram post received 92k likes. People really love Nandi and want to see this battle.

Please @foofighters I beg you… https://t.co/alJiwLYkw2
