@BakeToRise And don’t forget to add “on stage in California at the Los Angeles Forum”, and thanks to this video being online, Nandi will be able to whip out her phone (or whatever device we’re using then) and show you :) For me, I think that the best part was at the 2:10 mark even before Nandi’s performance
She didn't "do a nice job". She didn't "get close". She absolutely, 100% crushed it, put it in her pocket, and walked out the door with it. That was awesome.
For those who don't drum, this is a very complex song to drum to with very fast, very odd transitions that requires a ton of endurance. To my knowledge, Dave has never allowed a drummer come on stage to play this particular song because he knows they're probably gonna screw it up or get tired and fall behind. The fact that he allowed her to play this song says that he has the utmost confidence in her abilities.
This is a wonderful comment - thanks so much! I'm not a drummer, and while many comments have said some version of what you did, there have also been a number of blowhards who have said some version of "I don't see what the big deal, this song is so easy to play" 🙄 As far as I know, you're the first person to point out that they never before had a guest drummer for "Everlong". Nandi really owned her moment, surely creating the opportunity for her to have many more moments like this in the future.
The way she stops herself from throwing the last drumstick and asks Taylor “can I keep this one?” the sweetest moment captured on video man 🥹 that was awesome 👏🏼
Just one? My face is soaking wet. I love stuff like this and I love that Grohl and the FF give opportunities to their fans that probably change the trajectory of their lives when they don’t have or need to even acknowledge them. Nandi shredded this song and I’m so glad she got props from both Grohl and Taylor Hawkins, two of the best drummers to ever live. When he sadly passed, I was kinda hopeful they’d get her to replace him.
Coming back to watch this again (thx for the likes) and I'm also struck with how this tiny little thing with spindly little arms rocks out like that. Drummers are usually brutes.
It must be nice to have the choice. People on low income can't afford such luxuries, and risk the kid giving up after a couple of lessons. If the kid actually wants to do it, they will find a way.
@@timothygraham4304 Yeah I really had a huge passion around the bass guitar I still do to this day and my mum as a single parent without me knowing worked hours and hours extra to be able to get me it and now we are out of the gutter I have enough money to buy a better one and she consstatnly wants me to but I always deny it. Its my most prised possesion
Her talent has been apparent for awhile and it was great that they played so well together - favorite part was at the end, talking to Taylor... "I wanna keep one." :) ❤
The fact there are 1.1k haters disliking this..... How TF can you dislike watching someone live their dream and bring their joy of life to so many people?!?!?
Envy. Realizing that this little girl has a lot of talent. Stupidity. Trying to be a troll but just achieving to be a turd... And a lot more reasons. Let dumb be dumb, and let them express themselves.
Three of the best drummers around sharing the stage, and maybe the best of those three playing the drums, if she keeps at it even the Neil Pearts and Keith Moons of the world might one day be looking up to Nandi. She’s come a long way in just the last year, imagine where she could be in another 20
im a 13 year old drummer who plays for 4 years now and i can play most metal and rock songs like hocus pocus from focus (thats why im in a 70's band) but everlong is still one of the hardest songs for me to play because of the rythym changes and the fast hi-hat tempo. amazing fucking job from this girl to just fucking nail this song perfectly!
I’m 19 and struggle to play everlong. No way I would be able to get up on stage in front of thousands of people and absolutely nail it. She did amazing
That's what I love about this. Taylor is there, he's behind the drums, ready to take over (considering it's her first arena show). But he's not playing. She doesn't need him to.
Most impressive thing about this is the restraint from getting excited and mucking up the tempo, especially at such a young age. She's got showmanship AND chops. Holy shit.
@@johnjacobs6753 ... agreed. Incredible musical maturity. First she's 100% in the pocket, then she's all flash, then straight back in the pocket without the tempo shifting at all. And then the way she led the entire band on the outro.... wow, just amazing. I've worked with drummers who've played for 30 years who don't have time as good as that.
Holy SHIT, shes not just autopiloting the song, shes actually DRIVING the song , taking ownership of the band, getting into the groove and leading. Outstanding.
@@Timodon1 you're absolutely right. Without a solid drummer... no lead singer can carry a song alone. They -need- someone who can play the drums, solid.
You know what else is adorable? The way her parents avoid appearing with her in nearly every situation, letting her have her little limelight completely to herself. I love that
That never occured to me. Excellent point! I think I've only seen her dad once (very briefly) on one of her very early vids - before she bacame an 11 year old rock legend!
Her dad posted a video to KRplus of this performance but from the side of the stage (where unfortunately, the view of her is quite poor). But the video is cute because her dad is screaming and cheering his little girl on and is totally losing his shizzle. He's not trying to be cool at all, and it's adorable.
Really want to point out something pretty special. Whenever there are "guest musicians" that aren't professionals, you almost ALWAYS see them being backed by a pro. They didn't do that here, they gave her complete center stage with these drums. To be an 11 year old, playing a Foo Fighters concert, drumming, with no safety net, it insane guts and talent.
You must be new to Nandi world, lol. She's been playing Everlong for at least 2 years now. She just learned double pedals earlier this year. But she's never been anything less than solid in the pocket.
@@katyas-mom Heh, I would counter with, you must be new to performance art. Good in the studio is one thing, good in front of an audience of thousands is something else. I think we both agree that she has got guts. All the muscle memory in the world can go out the window if you get stage fright. I've seen musicians in the business for decades fall apart in front of a crowd, it's such a different beast.
I love how naturally humble Dave is. He's not like "we let her come up and jam with us," no. According to Dave they get to jam with Nandi and that's awesome.
@@M1cko33 yeah but there and then there’s no gangsters. Let this girl have her moment. That’s what this is all about anyway. Taking our minds off of the fact the world is so fucked up!
And just like that...a legend was born. The humility and gracious nature of Dave Grohl sets the bar sooooo high. What an awesome human. He just made this little girl's existence.
Dave Grohl is one of my favorite human beings on this earth. The way he is with fans, kids and all he does for the less fortunate. Hands down someone we can all look up to, respect and love.
She obviously just told Taylor that she wanted to keep that last drumstick as her memorabilia of playing in his place with the Foo Fighters, and this, after learning of his death, now means much, much more to her. RIP Taylor Hawkins.
This little girl, is completely driving the beat for the band. And she is doing phenomenal!!! 11yrs old!! I'm blown away. Her parents should very proud of her. Keep it ROCKING NANDI!!!
I have heard this song played a lot. It really is a hard song as a non trained drummer to follow. Not only did this kid play this song, she nailed every note and timing of the beat as if she was the one who wrote it. If that's not talent; I don't know what is. She keeps this up, she's going places! Keep it going Nandi! you got some real world talent.
I had never heard of the foo fighters or David grohl but my cousins daughter flew to anchorage for a concert so I had to discover the music and it’s amazing and I am an old lady.
I cried when I found out Taylor died. I cried again when I found out Nandi had been selected to play his tribute concert. How beautiful. How honorable. How bittersweet. Be happy on the next part of your journey Taylor. You've left the drumming in young but talented hands.
I didn't even know he died until I saw this comment. I think someone at my house started cutting onions when I read the part that said she was selected to play at his tribute concert
And she absolutely nailed Learn to fly at Wembley. She played it with drumsticks that Taylor gave her and if you look at her jacket. Taylor Hawkins face is embroidered on the back. Lovely tribute and Nandi represents the next generation of killer drummers. Love watching her play.
Thank you very much @Makoto Phoenix! Obviously at the time I had no idea that the video I was taking would take off like it has, but I'm glad that it's allowed millions of people around the world to share this wonderful moment with Nandi and the Foo Fighters. (FWIW, I'm just a smidge over five and a half feet tall, and I'm still not sure how I was able to shoot this for 11+ minutes while having to work around a lot of people in the pit who were taller than I am)
Dannnnnnnng!!! Nandi tore that kit up like a boss!!! I had goosebumps all the way through!!! Can't wait to see her name in neon lights soon...WTG, baby girl! 😍💜🥰✊️
It's an 11 yr or child with incredible talent...doesn't matter if you like this music or not sure out there doing it & will be a more successful musician than you'll ever be !
@@punkrockcentral1812 it's always been a money business. It's all about how many records you sell,how many tickets you sell,how much merchandise you sell. If you ain't making money you won't be around for long.
Innocence personified. Inspirational, talented, motivating. So many things. Her parents must be so proud! I cannot imagine, but her parents must be great. She clearly is amazing at what she does, which is 100% her accomplishments. I don't know what I'm saying anymore.
Ran across this and got the most wonderful feeling I've had in a while. What a dream come true for this girl and show of spirit and kindness of this group. HATS OFF!! SALUTE TO ROCK N ROLL
As a 64 year old woman percussionist, this makes me so happy to see. When I was young there was a huge bias against girl drummers, but I had a hippie violin teacher who taught me in my grade school, and then fought for me to get a try out for marching band at the Jr. High level. They weren't even going to let me try out. Then I kicked ass for 1st chair in band, jazz band and was put into the High School band when I was in 7th grade. Thank you Mrs. Sheely!
Yeah... I am following some reaction channels. What changed me was discovering the Japanese music scene who also has some absolutely fantastic musicians. Recommend checking out Akane Hirose - Band-maid (who has some glorious live videos on their official channel) and Haruna of Lovebites (as with B-M you find some nice livematerial... if you like metal). As a sidenote I can recommend Senri Kawaguchi. Absolutely stunning fusion drummer!
I'm not a drummer but I am a figure skater and you learn ALOT about music and beats. I KNOW how fast of a drummer you have to be to keep up with this song. I actually skated to it for competition when it first came out. Most songs have a beat of 1,2 3,4 or 1,2,3 4,5,6 this one is 1,2,1,2 then a quick change to 1,2,3 and again to 1,1,1 then back to 1,2 it's game of speed and endurance. I got many a first place because of the footwork I did to drum beats. The crazy transitions and switch up of the beat is practically unheard of. For an 11 yr old to play that? That is Sevant level playing right there yall
I’m 63 years old, I’ve seen Zeppelin, The Who, Pink Floyd,etc, but this is the most badass playing I’ve ever seen. I’ve watched this a couple dozen times and every time I watch it I get goose bumps. Her poise, talent, maturity and fearlessness is stunning! Her potential is mind blowing! You go girl!!! Damn 10 YEARS OLD!!! DAMN!!
I’ve played the drums on and off for 20 years, that song is a sleeper. The verse is hard to play once the kick drum starts hitting with the guitar rhythm. Listen for it. The high hat repetition actually makes it difficult IMO. Its “easy” to play per se, but by the end of the verse that section will mess up your timing if you’re even slightly out of practice and expose you. She absolutely killed it!!! Well done.
Are you being serious? That song is about as easy a song to play as any. You wanna see a REAL shredder.on the drums playing a song that is 10 times more complex. Go watch Caleb H play Slipknot or Junna play Dragonforce. Both of those kids would absolutely annihilate this kid. Try again
I'm a god damn 41 year old mountain man who hunts bears and acts tough...this song tears me up every time and seeing that girl live her dream got me balling. RIP Taylor.
My god she is awesome. This is not the first time they have invited a young musician on stage to perform with them. Giving these youngsters an opportunity like this is why the Foo Fighters are amazing. Inspiring them to go on and make something of themselves.
11 years old and she can play live with one of the biggest bands in the world, imagine where she'll be in another 8-10 years. Heckin gives me hope. *wipes tears*
I have so loved watching Nandi. While the world was burning, here's this angel that came with the message that Rock and Roll isn't dead. I still get choked up when I watch this. But its of joy, which this last 2 years has had so little bit of it.
I love that Taylor was telling her to throw her drum sticks to the crowd in a long tradition. Then she asked to keep one because no doubting what a special moment this was for her. She was amazing, this was awesome.
I literally teared up when I saw that. The way she held the second one up to throw, and then you can see her mouth say the words "I want to keep this one." Beautiful moment.
As a woman who has been trying (and failing) to emulate rock drummers for the past 20 years, all i can say is NANDI! YOU'RE KILLING IT GIRL! YOU. ARE. AMAZING.
I hear you! I don't know how old you are but as a classic rock electric guitar player (for the last 38 years) I know exactly how you feel. Wayyyy back in the beginning, I had tons of friends in rock bands but was never, ever invited to play. They said I was too pretty to play, I was devastated, told them to f*ck themselves. I truly hope you had/have more success than I did. Still play my rock music though...that will never get old! Stay happy and safe my friend!
@@Triumph-nz8pt after playing so many years, both of you should have something to say by now in your own way? Would be great to see you and Georgia Oliver show us what you got here on the Tube! Rock on girls!
@@Triumph-nz8pt Please don’t ever stop rocking, we need to preserve the classics & screw all the naysayers! You’re just on another wavelength than them. Y’all keep killing it too! For those who’re born to rock 🔥 we salute you. 🤘🏽
@@Triumph-nz8pt I think you're underselling yourself and about this idea of "success"... what is success? If, at some point, you thought you'd be the next Nancy Wilson or Orianthi... well, you need more than skills for that, you need a break and a bit of luck too. I had my 2 guitar lessons when I was 12, now 33 years later I WISH that I continued learning on my own, since momma couldn't afford more lessons. I didn't and I'm jealous that you stuck to it, I'd give a lot to possess 1/10th of your ability... I only started "tinkering" in the last couple years, but got more into setting up guitars and collecting them... I've found that if they sit in the corner, they never sing. Please, make some videos, I'd love to see you play!!! You could even collab with Georgia over Skype.
The main thing that impresses me is her fearlessness. She just attacks it head on, and then the physical power and timing is mind-blowing. An 11 year old has just driven one the most famous bands in the world and it's absolutely spot on! It's so unbelievable I have to watch it again and again to make sure I'm not dreaming! This is also one of her favourite bands so she must have felt like she was dreaming too. Oh, and Mr Grohl was right, he said beforehand that she would steal the show.
Seriously, the fact she played so smoothly in front of so many people is pretty astounding. Seriously, she kept her tempo pretty damn well considering!
You guys see this is why the Foo fighters are so I can't believe how cool you guys are yes I tears came to my eyes when I seen that little girl play the drum so awesome
I know! I find it interesting that before she even got on her drum kit that Dave spoke to the crowd about how they say goodbye. Now Taylor is gone like you said Mr Brees. I am still trying to process this loss
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. Death is something we all have to go through so live like everyday is your last and leave no regrets behind. Tell your family you love em. Taylor buddy rip you were an amazing soul and you leave behind An amazing family who loves you a band that loves you and every foo fighter fan around the world who loves you!!! Rock in paradise Taylor!!!
The thumbs down are just from trolls being trolls. It must suck to be such a lonely, sad person that someone gets every bit of their self-efficacy from anonymously posting a silly little thumbs down on the coolest 11 year old and the biggest class act in music to ever walk the earth. I actually feel kind of bad for those troll douchers. Kind of.
Anyone who started making music as a child can well imagine what an overwhelming feeling it must be to be able to be on stage with two of your greatest idols at the same time. I had such goosebumps! Nandi is so good and can easily compete with the biggest world stars! Unbelievable! And when you see her smile and yell at her drum kit, you know how much she loves music and lives for it! I am very excited to see what we will be hearing from this young woman in the years to come!!!
This one event probably changed the entire course of her life. Dave’s an awesome dude for doing this and she’s a brave little badass for KILLING IT! Great video.
I'll never understand why some people hate on Dave Grohl. He's the most kind-hearted person in the world, and he wants every musician on the planet to be successful.
Kindness intimidates some people, it dulls the anger that fuels their existence. I've never really been a fan of Nirvana and definitely not Foo Fighters... I am a friend to the Foo, so obviously I would be opposed to those that are driven to fight the Foo. Aside from that one issue though, Dave is a fantastic person, artist, producer, dad and a decent drummer, not Nandi caliber, but close.
Mr.Gamble you are exactly rite Dave is the worlds nicest people... He's one rock star who will stop and take a pic w you ask how you are hell if you were hungry he'd take you to lunch... Dave if you see this you are awesome...wish there were more people like you
I couldn't do that at eleven years old. That young lady is Talented enough to be on the stage with the foo fighters. the props that he gave her, That's a stand up dude right there. The young girl's good. I'm sure she was on top of the world
10:36 - the way she cutely goes back to being a little girl after nailing this song like a badass monster and says “I want to keep this one” after throwing the first drum stick… ❤❤❤❤ sooooo cute and lovely! BLESS HER
to do this at her age is years for average drummers taking long to master their craft...at this age drop the books...go get ur career because u have a life in music...please dont be a lawyer...her wrists grow quick...holy shit
Amazing, for an 11 year old girl, or for ANY professional drummer? Because, honestly, she’s not good enough to call her that. Maybe someday, but not now. So calm down.
I hope Nandi keeps playing. If she can play like that at 11 shw is going to be a MONSTER drummer when she is 20. I'm really looking forward to buying her first album, the girl rocks.
@@rustyviking2026 I thought the same thing! Great documentary. I saw Cyndi Blackman Santana playing for Lenny Kravitz in the 90s and she was a force of nature!
Didn't miss a beat and kept a consistent time the whole time. She actually crushed it like a pro. As a gigging drummer, I got to say she crushed this better than I would have.
The biggest trap for any young drummer is getting excited and caught up in the moment and _increasing tempo_ She kept a machine steady studio bpm through it all, in this crazy setting. I am thoroughly impressed!
Hell yea. Also stuff like this that shows the inclusivity of Rock. Same thing people credit The Clash for, the idea that "anyone can do it". Powerful stuff. Everyone should try it :)
Brilliant! i've watched Nandi several times online...she never skips a "beat" ...her fills are stellar and her breaks are perfection like the seasoned pro she is...what a treat to see/hear her play with one of the most killer rock bands in the world!! fantastic sister...keep on rock n' in the free world!!!
True! At 8.18 she lets it all out. I genuinely love her energy and excitement for music. I play guitar myself and she's already a better musician than I'll ever be. But we're kindred spirits in regards to our love for rock.
She wants to keep the stick, that's so cute... For the members, it might be another show, but for Nandi this is THE DAY to remember for the years to come. So happy for her!!!
I'm positive it wasn't just "another show" for these guys, either. They have kids, they all have a deep love and passion for music. Being able to lift up a young one who is talented and loves music as much as they do must have been such a treat. This is amazing and I am so happy they pulled this off!
I hope the person who caught the stick Nandi tossed, saw the interaction between she and Taylor, and realized how important this night was for her. It would really suck to see it posted on eBay or the Recycler or something…
I first saw the another of the videos from this night that didn't go as long. That one hadn't included the bit about Taylor giving her sticks to throw into the audience, and her KEEPING ONE. Absolutely adorable. Wish I could have been at this concert. This was a night to remember for EVERYONE.
He picked THE perfect song to play with her! Makes the line “Gotta promise not to stop when I say ‘you win’, and she said…” hit different. ❤️❤️❤️ He passed her the mic, so she could drop it on everyone! He let her cook and left the kitchen, knowing she got it! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
I thought it was amazing when Grohl gave away his blue guitar to a kid during a concert, but this is another level of awesome. He didn't just praise the girl privately or on social media. He brought her on stage and gave her a memory that may never be topped.
Her drumming is just on point... she's actually better than most drummers that are adults. She's 11 and her future is so BRIGHT!!!!.... Love you Nandi!. god bless you sunshine. RIP Taylor, if only Nandi was old enough to fill his place. I really feel for Dave, he's up there with keanu for me, fame can get you so far but when you're just an all round good bloke, you go up another level.
She's not only got a great style but also-- it's clear that she absolutely loves drumming and practices, practices practices! There's gotta be hours and hours of hard work behind that smile and a dedication to do the music homage. That's an artist for sure.
@@vtbmwbiker I've been following her for a little while now. You oughta see her videos on her youtube channel. She just beats those drums and screams, it's awesome!
That's God given talent. Not an easy task for most adults. If only more people would notice their children's talents instead of plopping them in front of a phone or tablet...

This little girl has a future in music ensured.
@BakeToRise And don’t forget to add “on stage in California at the Los Angeles Forum”, and thanks to this video being online, Nandi will be able to whip out her phone (or whatever device we’re using then) and show you :)
For me, I think that the best part was at the 2:10 mark even before Nandi’s performance
Lol
And been on numerous TV shows like Ellen...
@@WalterGreenIII thats yoyoka
The fact Taylor sat this one out and let her drum instead of drumming too, showed how proud of her he was. Hope she keeps drumming in Taylor’s honour
Some real shit right there. Truth. Rip Taylor.
I gotta say, I would love to see a full set with her on the drums, in Taylor's honour!
not really as he's done it many times before but you should still continue to feel good about your nice comment
The fact this has zero dislikes
He never refers to her as a kid, simply just “this person.” So much respect to Dave.
Good catch! He shows so much respect to her, and thus gets even more from us.
Yeah he treats her like an equal. I'm not even a foos fan. But always respected the hell of them. And dave as a person.
...and then says "mother*cker" and a few other choice words while sharing the stage with her!
This right here! ❤❤❤

In not too many years time Nandi will be a rockstar herself!
The genuine happiness and excitement Grohl shows when fans play is wonderful!
She didn't "do a nice job". She didn't "get close". She absolutely, 100% crushed it, put it in her pocket, and walked out the door with it. That was awesome.
Well said!
Very well said
What a great comment I just hope that little girl gets to see it I'm sure she sees thousands like it that one is awesome
She stood Dave Grohl up for his lunch money and bought herself lunch right in front of him. She is a MACHINE and she's gonna go real far
and that little smile of hers
For those who don't drum, this is a very complex song to drum to with very fast, very odd transitions that requires a ton of endurance. To my knowledge, Dave has never allowed a drummer come on stage to play this particular song because he knows they're probably gonna screw it up or get tired and fall behind. The fact that he allowed her to play this song says that he has the utmost confidence in her abilities.
This is a wonderful comment - thanks so much! I'm not a drummer, and while many comments have said some version of what you did, there have also been a number of blowhards who have said some version of "I don't see what the big deal, this song is so easy to play" 🙄
As far as I know, you're the first person to point out that they never before had a guest drummer for "Everlong". Nandi really owned her moment, surely creating the opportunity for her to have many more moments like this in the future.
And a few more Taylors!

@@csilver522 goods. this the gooooooods. a fine assessment indeed fellow human!
The way she stops herself from throwing the last drumstick and asks Taylor “can I keep this one?” the sweetest moment captured on video man 🥹 that was awesome 👏🏼
It was so beautiful!!
Should've kept both tbh
One for the audience and one to keep for memories !!!! - A real beautiful moment imho.
That stick twirl fully dissolved her nerves. Like I’ve never seen a person evolve in real time. That was crazy 😂
That was cute! 🥰 And Taylor was cool with it.

Same here man. Great. Even reading the comments section.
Just one? My face is soaking wet. I love stuff like this and I love that Grohl and the FF give opportunities to their fans that probably change the trajectory of their lives when they don’t have or need to even acknowledge them. Nandi shredded this song and I’m so glad she got props from both Grohl and Taylor Hawkins, two of the best drummers to ever live. When he sadly passed, I was kinda hopeful they’d get her to replace him.
Dude I'm 50, I've got tears streaming down my face, and I don't even like the Foo Fighters 😭
Moments like this is why Dave Grohl is the coolest guy in rock ‘n’ roll.
Coolest Guy in the world... if we ever go to a one world government i hope Daves in Charge!
Dave is the best
So cool he encourages a divide in his fan base by enforcing a vaccine that doesn’t even slow the spread of the virus

Facts
Coming back to watch this again (thx for the likes) and I'm also struck with how this tiny little thing with spindly little arms rocks out like that. Drummers are usually brutes.
@TSKseattle i come back regularly to this video, the way she plays blows me away each time!
or knew the song and could read the band.... Grohl even coaxes her on the pause she forgets. It's like half a song
Fucking fair play to her - being allowed to play on Everlong is just about the highest honour available in Foo Fighters
I love how she hesitated to toss out both drumsticks. She wanted to keep one as HER souvenir. Lucky person in the audience who caught the first one.
When your kid asks for a musical instrument, buy it. Cause every once in a while you get magic like this.
Damn right buy the best if it breaks the bank
Tama or Gretch drums
It must be nice to have the choice. People on low income can't afford such luxuries, and risk the kid giving up after a couple of lessons. If the kid actually wants to do it, they will find a way.
@@timothygraham4304 Yeah I really had a huge passion around the bass guitar I still do to this day and my mum as a single parent without me knowing worked hours and hours extra to be able to get me it and now we are out of the gutter I have enough money to buy a better one and she consstatnly wants me to but I always deny it. Its my most prised possesion

Fuck yes he does
...thats exactly what i thought!..
Uncle Ben has spoken
He just seems like such a dude, I would love to go for a beer with him, bet he would be great to go to the pub with
You are so correct dude, He's the best guy in rock period.
favourite thing about how she plays is whenever she does a snare roll she screams as loud as she can it’s so awesome
This song gets you hyped up man! I know it gets me hyped lol
I love how she hesitated to throw away the last drum stick in the audience because she wanted to have a souvenir. Taylor immediately understood :)
He takes her hand, brings her into prime location, gets the crowd cheering and then steps out of the spotlight?! That is pure class!
Totally agree. Once you reach a certain height, one of the most gracious things you can do is to elevate others.
She's not a kid drummer. She's a drummer. Who is also a kid. Damn. I am so excited for her!
Well said! I love this comment
Absolutely
Right on 👍🏼
She’s supremely surpassed being “a drummer”. I cannot wait to see where this one goes.
that was amazing.
At 9:15 is probably my favorite part. That face and her scream! That's almost a gutteral primal scream! Raise those horns Nandi! You earned it!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Her talent has been apparent for awhile and it was great that they played so well together - favorite part was at the end, talking to Taylor... "I wanna keep one." :) ❤
Meeeee too. Watching her realize that just before she threw it was awesome
Stage presence. At 11. In front of that audience.
The fact there are 1.1k haters disliking this..... How TF can you dislike watching someone live their dream and bring their joy of life to so many people?!?!?
Envy. Realizing that this little girl has a lot of talent. Stupidity. Trying to be a troll but just achieving to be a turd... And a lot more reasons.
Let dumb be dumb, and let them express themselves.
because it's not their own dream. Sad really
Some people are just miserable and can't find joy in anything. They go out of their way to find things to dislike. It's pathetic.
They hit the wrong button because their eyes were clouded up
We live in such a hateful world today. Don't even let it bother you.
She has the biggest smile on her face when she plays, you can’t tell she’s having the time of her life
Yes you can
That's what music should be! It still crushes me knowing that schools are taking music classes away from creative young minds.
@@dakotajensen181 yeah it’s sad
This will be the best moment in her life ...until she becomes a huge rock star with her own band.
Three of the best drummers around sharing the stage, and maybe the best of those three playing the drums, if she keeps at it even the Neil Pearts and Keith Moons of the world might one day be looking up to Nandi. She’s come a long way in just the last year, imagine where she could be in another 20
This might be the coolest little girl I’ve ever seen. This is what the internet was made for.
im a 13 year old drummer who plays for 4 years now and i can play most metal and rock songs like hocus pocus from focus (thats why im in a 70's band) but everlong is still one of the hardest songs for me to play because of the rythym changes and the fast hi-hat tempo. amazing fucking job from this girl to just fucking nail this song perfectly!
13. Cussin isn’t ladylike
@@natalieboll3831hush k
@@natalieboll3831Whos said hes a lady
@natalieboll3831 not your kid, not your business. It's just a fucking word.
@@natalieboll3831who gaf
She has no back up drummer. She commanded the entire song. That’s impressive for someone her age
I’m 19 and struggle to play everlong. No way I would be able to get up on stage in front of thousands of people and absolutely nail it. She did amazing
Check out Yoyoka
That's what I love about this. Taylor is there, he's behind the drums, ready to take over (considering it's her first arena show). But he's not playing. She doesn't need him to.
Most impressive thing about this is the restraint from getting excited and mucking up the tempo, especially at such a young age. She's got showmanship AND chops. Holy shit.
@@johnjacobs6753 ... agreed. Incredible musical maturity. First she's 100% in the pocket, then she's all flash, then straight back in the pocket without the tempo shifting at all. And then the way she led the entire band on the outro.... wow, just amazing. I've worked with drummers who've played for 30 years who don't have time as good as that.
Holy SHIT, shes not just autopiloting the song, shes actually DRIVING the song , taking ownership of the band, getting into the groove and leading. Outstanding.
Who is the most important man or girl in the band? :)
@@Timodon1 you're absolutely right. Without a solid drummer... no lead singer can carry a song alone. They -need- someone who can play the drums, solid.
She owned that
hell yeah, that was amazing!!
But do not forget all the stick twirling.... lol. Luv it. Total tween making a mark. Thank you DG!!
This is the most awesome thing I’ve seen in awhile. Baby girl summoning the rock Gods with her sticks!
I'm sitting here crying with joy for her like she's my kid ❤❤❤ yes babygirl!!
You know what else is adorable? The way her parents avoid appearing with her in nearly every situation, letting her have her little limelight completely to herself. I love that
That never occured to me. Excellent point! I think I've only seen her dad once (very briefly) on one of her very early vids - before she bacame an 11 year old rock legend!
Her dad posted a video to KRplus of this performance but from the side of the stage (where unfortunately, the view of her is quite poor). But the video is cute because her dad is screaming and cheering his little girl on and is totally losing his shizzle. He's not trying to be cool at all, and it's adorable.
@@djchristinad - aww! i wonder if he'd adopt a full grown adult
Absolutely spot on !
Even years older I could never imagine the same peace 🥲
Really want to point out something pretty special. Whenever there are "guest musicians" that aren't professionals, you almost ALWAYS see them being backed by a pro. They didn't do that here, they gave her complete center stage with these drums. To be an 11 year old, playing a Foo Fighters concert, drumming, with no safety net, it insane guts and talent.
You must be new to Nandi world, lol. She's been playing Everlong for at least 2 years now. She just learned double pedals earlier this year. But she's never been anything less than solid in the pocket.
@@katyas-mom Heh, I would counter with, you must be new to performance art. Good in the studio is one thing, good in front of an audience of thousands is something else. I think we both agree that she has got guts. All the muscle memory in the world can go out the window if you get stage fright. I've seen musicians in the business for decades fall apart in front of a crowd, it's such a different beast.
They gave her her own set of drums. Put her front and center. That is a thing of beauty.
She did have backup but he never picked up the sticks. She was awesome.
Taylor sat back and watched. It was amazing.
I literally could not take my eyes off of Nandi playing the drums....she didn't miss a beat!
This video NEVER gets old.
I love how naturally humble Dave is. He's not like "we let her come up and jam with us," no. According to Dave they get to jam with Nandi and that's awesome.
he's such a sweet human being....no sign of ego
He's a great man👍And Foo Fighters awesome as a band. I hope to never see them disbanded !! Never !!
I hope them to never be disbanded
yall need to look up peter diarys he self taught himself on the guitar he's from the Chicago area if yall r ever in town
🤣 he's so fake
That kid gives me hope that this world isn't completely fucked. She just brings such joy and happiness to life. Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
@@M1cko33 yeah but there and then there’s no gangsters. Let this girl have her moment. That’s what this is all about anyway. Taking our minds off of the fact the world is so fucked up!
I was thinking the same.. Every time less but i think our race will survive..
Peace
Yep. That huge smile. I’ve watched this several times. 💕
@@geada7music627 too true
Pode crer.
And just like that...a legend was born. The humility and gracious nature of Dave Grohl sets the bar sooooo high. What an awesome human. He just made this little girl's existence.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Dave Grohl is one of my favorite human beings on this earth. The way he is with fans, kids and all he does for the less fortunate. Hands down someone we can all look up to, respect and love.
She obviously just told Taylor that she wanted to keep that last drumstick as her memorabilia of playing in his place with the Foo Fighters, and this, after learning of his death, now means much, much more to her. RIP Taylor Hawkins.
Ouch. That ruined the mood Negative Mandi person.. go away
@@gorkong_yt4747 Ohno, what did some jagoff come in and spew?
This little girl, is completely driving the beat for the band. And she is doing phenomenal!!! 11yrs old!! I'm blown away. Her parents should very proud of her. Keep it ROCKING NANDI!!!
That's exactly right.A Phenomenal moment in Foo Fighters history, for sure.
You should see/hear the side shot from Nandi's dad of the same event - he's going crazzy
@@flemmingrasmussen3922 I wanna see that! Do you have a link??
@@TheRisskee krplus.net/bidio/lt2uqXxzgoXKiYo
As soon as she started hitting that hihat you just know she's got it. Had the timing plus the power - what a memory for such a young kid!
I have heard this song played a lot. It really is a hard song as a non trained drummer to follow. Not only did this kid play this song, she nailed every note and timing of the beat as if she was the one who wrote it. If that's not talent; I don't know what is. She keeps this up, she's going places! Keep it going Nandi! you got some real world talent.
I had never heard of the foo fighters or David grohl but my cousins daughter flew to anchorage for a concert so I had to discover the music and it’s amazing and I am an old lady.
I cried when I found out Taylor died. I cried again when I found out Nandi had been selected to play his tribute concert. How beautiful. How honorable. How bittersweet. Be happy on the next part of your journey Taylor. You've left the drumming in young but talented hands.
I didn't even know he died until I saw this comment. I think someone at my house started cutting onions when I read the part that said she was selected to play at his tribute concert
And she absolutely nailed Learn to fly at Wembley. She played it with drumsticks that Taylor gave her and if you look at her jacket. Taylor Hawkins face is embroidered on the back. Lovely tribute and Nandi represents the next generation of killer drummers. Love watching her play.
damn, blown away… never seen this video
And you will probably cry if you see Shane Hawkins playing My Hero, it's so beautiful
I cried thinking about how gracious Taylor is to step back and give Nandi this opportunity. Taylor is such a kind and gentle soul.
shoutout to the person who filmed, kept it steady, and didn't cut early - there goes my hero
Thank you very much @Makoto Phoenix! Obviously at the time I had no idea that the video I was taking would take off like it has, but I'm glad that it's allowed millions of people around the world to share this wonderful moment with Nandi and the Foo Fighters.
(FWIW, I'm just a smidge over five and a half feet tall, and I'm still not sure how I was able to shoot this for 11+ minutes while having to work around a lot of people in the pit who were taller than I am)
Ditto!
Watch him as he goes!
Hell yea!! No matter how good anyone thinks they’re recording… never as good as this!
@@cadyconcepcion Thank you!
The determination and joy in that girl's eyes made my entire week.
Dannnnnnnng!!! Nandi tore that kit up like a boss!!! I had goosebumps all the way through!!! Can't wait to see her name in neon lights soon...WTG, baby girl! 😍💜🥰✊️
This video represents why the Foo Fighters have stayed relevant longer than any other band of their era.
@Joel Elienai / Nathan Cormac you obviously didn't understand the comment.
@Joel Elienai / Nathan Cormac How does obtuse trolling make you any smarter?
For continuing to shine the light on the talent of other people.
@Joel Elienai / Nathan Cormac LMAO WHAT NOW
Dave is such a genuine artist.
People for the last 15 years: "Rock is dead."
Nandi: "Hold my drumstick."
*"Hold my root beer"
well true rock n roll kinda is since it’s all a money business, the foo fighters started in the 90s so it doesn’t count as modern
It's an 11 yr or child with incredible talent...doesn't matter if you like this music or not sure out there doing it & will be a more successful musician than you'll ever be !
@@punkrockcentral1812 it's always been a money business. It's all about how many records you sell,how many tickets you sell,how much merchandise you sell. If you ain't making money you won't be around for long.
This posting format is wearing tired. Save it.
Innocence personified. Inspirational, talented, motivating. So many things. Her parents must be so proud! I cannot imagine, but her parents must be great. She clearly is amazing at what she does, which is 100% her accomplishments. I don't know what I'm saying anymore.
Ran across this and got the most wonderful feeling I've had in a while. What a dream come true for this girl and show of spirit and kindness of this group. HATS OFF!! SALUTE TO ROCK N ROLL
As a 64 year old woman percussionist, this makes me so happy to see. When I was young there was a huge bias against girl drummers, but I had a hippie violin teacher who taught me in my grade school, and then fought for me to get a try out for marching band at the Jr. High level. They weren't even going to let me try out. Then I kicked ass for 1st chair in band, jazz band and was put into the High School band when I was in 7th grade. Thank you Mrs. Sheely!
Yeah... I am following some reaction channels. What changed me was discovering the Japanese music scene who also has some absolutely fantastic musicians. Recommend checking out Akane Hirose - Band-maid (who has some glorious live videos on their official channel) and Haruna of Lovebites (as with B-M you find some nice livematerial... if you like metal).
As a sidenote I can recommend Senri Kawaguchi. Absolutely stunning fusion drummer!
@@andreaspedersen3952 I also like Junna (used to be with Trident) as well as Hana of Doll$Boxx/Gacharic Spin

@@sonnimonni2482 Hana is great. I got much respect for her. Great drummer, but also do guitar, bass and keyboards if I'm not wrong?
The fact that Taylor sits there and does nothing to give Nandi her moment. My god, Dave and the Foo Fighters are just so awesome.
He's worried about his job security 😂
@@mrfister1899 YES. Nandi could totally replace him: I love it!

The way she tells him she wants to keep that drumstick. ❤️
I just stumbled on this video 2024
I've never smiled and cried so hard! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL¡!
I'm not a drummer but I am a figure skater and you learn ALOT about music and beats. I KNOW how fast of a drummer you have to be to keep up with this song. I actually skated to it for competition when it first came out. Most songs have a beat of 1,2 3,4 or 1,2,3 4,5,6 this one is 1,2,1,2 then a quick change to 1,2,3 and again to 1,1,1 then back to 1,2 it's game of speed and endurance. I got many a first place because of the footwork I did to drum beats. The crazy transitions and switch up of the beat is practically unheard of. For an 11 yr old to play that? That is Sevant level playing right there yall
Nice call wierdname.
😂 it was a good call. And i also double taked the name@@Michael_Braddy
I’m 63 years old, I’ve seen Zeppelin, The Who, Pink Floyd,etc, but this is the most badass playing I’ve ever seen. I’ve watched this a couple dozen times and every time I watch it I get goose bumps.

And her accent!

I don’t think ppl realize how hard most of foo’s songs are to play on the drums this girl is amazing
Please explain to me. I do not play the drums. I do not know. Is this hard to play?
@@krystennawomack9724 I don’t drum either. But watch her challenge and it’s clear: krplus.net/bidio/fbauenlqpp7caXI
I’ve played the drums on and off for 20 years, that song is a sleeper. The verse is hard to play once the kick drum starts hitting with the guitar rhythm. Listen for it. The high hat repetition actually makes it difficult IMO. Its “easy” to play per se, but by the end of the verse that section will mess up your timing if you’re even slightly out of practice and expose you. She absolutely killed it!!! Well done.
Are you being serious? That song is about as easy a song to play as any. You wanna see a REAL shredder.on the drums playing a song that is 10 times more complex. Go watch Caleb H play Slipknot or Junna play Dragonforce. Both of those kids would absolutely annihilate this kid. Try again
@@michaelmindiola5810 if so, record yourself on your phone and post it by end of day. We’ll be waiting ..
That is one talented drummer for sure. The endurance she has at such a young age is amazing.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
This little girl is gonna take the world by storm and I am absolutely here for it!!
When she whispered that she wanted to keep the drumstick for herself it hit me in the heart. Incredible.
Me too🤎
Yeah, it shows how much that moment meant. Their interaction is so sweet.
She wanted a keepsake for herself... She gave one away.... That was enough. She earned that one drumstick!
She's got a cool, fast head on her shoulders !...I would have get caught in the heat of the moment, throw both, and forever regret
That probably melted him.
She is not even my daughter and I am so proud of her ❤️
I'm a god damn 41 year old mountain man who hunts bears and acts tough...this song tears me up every time and seeing that girl live her dream got me balling. RIP Taylor.
My god she is awesome. This is not the first time they have invited a young musician on stage to perform with them. Giving these youngsters an opportunity like this is why the Foo Fighters are amazing. Inspiring them to go on and make something of themselves.
11 years old and she can play live with one of the biggest bands in the world, imagine where she'll be in another 8-10 years. Heckin gives me hope.
*wipes tears*
I have so loved watching Nandi. While the world was burning, here's this angel that came with the message that Rock and Roll isn't dead. I still get choked up when I watch this. But its of joy, which this last 2 years has had so little bit of it.
she has such amazing dexterity snd control for such a young age, she’s definitely a prodigy
probably nowhere further
Waiting tables
@@jameskehoe5091 tears at the reprise
This is the last song that Taylor played on a stage and the first one that Nandi has ever played. The legacy has been passed on successfully.
Holy shit…
You are so right....life is crazy
Makes Nandi lipping "I want to keep it" when she goes to throw the second stick all that more surreal.
There's no such thing as a coincidence.
Untrue. This is not the last time Foo Fighters played before he died.
Makes my old tired heart very happy. Humans connecting. It's why we're here.
Drumming is so difficult. I tried it and couldn't do it, so this child deserves a LOT of credit. Thanks to the band for giving her a chance.
I love that Taylor was telling her to throw her drum sticks to the crowd in a long tradition. Then she asked to keep one because no doubting what a special moment this was for her. She was amazing, this was awesome.
I literally teared up when I saw that. The way she held the second one up to throw, and then you can see her mouth say the words "I want to keep this one." Beautiful moment.
I thought it was really cool of him to go and hang with her (she may take his job one day...)
So much charity and love going around and I loved that too, “lemme keep this one”
Yes you earned it ❤️❤️😭🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
As a woman who has been trying (and failing) to emulate rock drummers for the past 20 years, all i can say is NANDI! YOU'RE KILLING IT GIRL! YOU. ARE. AMAZING.
I hear you! I don't know how old you are but as a classic rock electric guitar player (for the last 38 years) I know exactly how you feel. Wayyyy back in the beginning, I had tons of friends in rock bands but was never, ever invited to play. They said I was too pretty to play, I was devastated, told them to f*ck themselves. I truly hope you had/have more success than I did. Still play my rock music though...that will never get old! Stay happy and safe my friend!
@@Triumph-nz8pt after playing so many years, both of you should have something to say by now in your own way? Would be great to see you and Georgia Oliver show us what you got here on the Tube! Rock on girls!

I think you're underselling yourself and about this idea of "success"... what is success? If, at some point, you thought you'd be the next Nancy Wilson or Orianthi... well, you need more than skills for that, you need a break and a bit of luck too. I had my 2 guitar lessons when I was 12, now 33 years later I WISH that I continued learning on my own, since momma couldn't afford more lessons. I didn't and I'm jealous that you stuck to it, I'd give a lot to possess 1/10th of your ability... I only started "tinkering" in the last couple years, but got more into setting up guitars and collecting them... I've found that if they sit in the corner, they never sing.
Please, make some videos, I'd love to see you play!!! You could even collab with Georgia over Skype.
Having Kandi play with them is yet one more reason why Foo Fighters are just the best!
Whatever she does in her life she'll never forget this night
The main thing that impresses me is her fearlessness. She just attacks it head on, and then the physical power and timing is mind-blowing. An 11 year old has just driven one the most famous bands in the world and it's absolutely spot on! It's so unbelievable I have to watch it again and again to make sure I'm not dreaming! This is also one of her favourite bands so she must have felt like she was dreaming too. Oh, and Mr Grohl was right, he said beforehand that she would steal the show.
Seriously, the fact she played so smoothly in front of so many people is pretty astounding. Seriously, she kept her tempo pretty damn well considering!
You should check out her videos, I did, this girl is ALL ENERGY, she is Not Afraid, not even a little !
Well said my human...
She’s a natural
When I was 11 I was smoother than her, a lot smoother. At picking me nose.
That girl is going places. If you can drum along to Everlong at age 11, you’ve got yourself a career.
No, she got something better. A great life.
Not just play along Everlong, but with the real Foo Fighters on stage in front of thousands of people, that changes the whole game.
Reminds me of the random guy that got to play Faint with Chester and Linkin Park.
Heck yes! So young !
@@javo_roma very true. you don’t meet many people with that kind of confidence
Nandi walking off stage with Taylor at the end had me in tears. I miss that beautiful and wonderful man.
You guys see this is why the Foo fighters are so I can't believe how cool you guys are yes I tears came to my eyes when I seen that little girl play the drum so awesome
She had that special moment with Taylor at the end... And now he's gone. Utterly heartbreaking. But this beautiful moment will live on forever.
I know! I find it interesting that before she even got on her drum kit that Dave spoke to the crowd about how they say goodbye. Now Taylor is gone like you said Mr Brees. I am still trying to process this loss
if Dave decides to continue he's found his next drummer
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. Death is something we all have to go through so live like everyday is your last and leave no regrets behind. Tell your family you love em. Taylor buddy rip you were an amazing soul and you leave behind An amazing family who loves you a band that loves you and every foo fighter fan around the world who loves you!!! Rock in paradise Taylor!!!
Makes me 😭 every single time.
How could anyone possibly dislike this. OMG, she was amazing. She must have the coolest parents in the world.
The use of profanity. Not necessary when you are cool.
The thumbs down are just from trolls being trolls. It must suck to be such a lonely, sad person that someone gets every bit of their self-efficacy from anonymously posting a silly little thumbs down on the coolest 11 year old and the biggest class act in music to ever walk the earth.

Anyone who started making music as a child can well imagine what an overwhelming feeling it must be to be able to be on stage with two of your greatest idols at the same time. I had such goosebumps! Nandi is so good and can easily compete with the biggest world stars! Unbelievable! And when you see her smile and yell at her drum kit, you know how much she loves music and lives for it! I am very excited to see what we will be hearing from this young woman in the years to come!!!
Can you imagine how proud you would be as a parent? All that money in lessons for your child and they're up there absolutely smashing it!
This one event probably changed the entire course of her life. Dave’s an awesome dude for doing this and she’s a brave little badass for KILLING IT! Great video.
Can you imagine. Getting to play with them it most certainly would change your life
Definitely
I'll never understand why some people hate on Dave Grohl. He's the most kind-hearted person in the world, and he wants every musician on the planet to be successful.
Dave Grohl is all what rock'n'roll is all about. He is a legend, he is truly in it for the music. Hats off to that guy.
Are there people who hate on Dave Grohl?
Kindness intimidates some people, it dulls the anger that fuels their existence. I've never really been a fan of Nirvana and definitely not Foo Fighters... I am a friend to the Foo, so obviously I would be opposed to those that are driven to fight the Foo. Aside from that one issue though, Dave is a fantastic person, artist, producer, dad and a decent drummer, not Nandi caliber, but close.
Mr.Gamble you are exactly rite Dave is the worlds nicest people... He's one rock star who will stop and take a pic w you ask how you are hell if you were hungry he'd take you to lunch... Dave if you see this you are awesome...wish there were more people like you
I've never seen one bad thing about him. Ever. How can one hate on him lol
I couldn't do that at eleven years old. That young lady is Talented enough to be on the stage with the foo fighters. the props that he gave her, That's a stand up dude right there. The young girl's good. I'm sure she was on top of the world
10:36 - the way she cutely goes back to being a little girl after nailing this song like a badass monster and says “I want to keep this one” after throwing the first drum stick… ❤❤❤❤ sooooo cute and lovely! BLESS HER
The future of rock and roll is in safe hands with Nandi... She's not an 11 year old drummer or a child drummer... She is an AMAZING drummer...
to do this at her age is years for average drummers taking long to master their craft...at this age drop the books...go get ur career because u have a life in music...please dont be a lawyer...her wrists grow quick...holy shit
Pro. She handled it like a pro.
Actually she's just ok.
Amazing, for an 11 year old girl, or for ANY professional drummer? Because, honestly, she’s not good enough to call her that. Maybe someday, but not now. So calm down.
True that thanks Mark Dolan may that little girls dreams all come true love to all
She will never ever forget this no matter how successful she becomes.. this is awesome.
This video restores my faith in humanity
This little chick ripped it up! She played the hell out of those drums! Proud of her!!!
I hope Nandi keeps playing. If she can play like that at 11 shw is going to be a MONSTER drummer when she is 20. I'm really looking forward to buying her first album, the girl rocks.
100% agreed, sign me up!
You've got that right.
Guarantee she will keep drumming, watch Count me in on netflix, she`ll be like many of the females on that, trustttt me. Reply in 10 years :P
by 20 she'll have mastered like half a dozen instruments
@@rustyviking2026 I thought the same thing! Great documentary. I saw Cyndi Blackman Santana playing for Lenny Kravitz in the 90s and she was a force of nature!
Didn't miss a beat and kept a consistent time the whole time. She actually crushed it like a pro. As a gigging drummer, I got to say she crushed this better than I would have.
She didn't even break a sweat! 🤟
The biggest trap for any young drummer is getting excited and caught up in the moment and _increasing tempo_
She kept a machine steady studio bpm through it all, in this crazy setting. I am thoroughly impressed!
She did very very well that songs got some pretty fast 16th notes flowing through it, her timing was right on
Exactly she did not speed up, which should be easy to do with the excitement of being on stage and all the adrenaline flowing
I agree totally!!!! I even closed my eyes to hear her technique - She IS the Real Deal HolyField!!!! Just Amazing!!!!
I just came across this and was blown away. This was what living life in the moment is all about.
She absolutely crushed this!
It's people like Nandi that let's me know the future of music is in good hands.
Hell yea. Also stuff like this that shows the inclusivity of Rock. Same thing people credit The Clash for, the idea that "anyone can do it". Powerful stuff. Everyone should try it :)

Who cant love this?
@@marybethwitecki5747 I get chills hearing her play
Rock and roll will never die.
I've been a drummer for over 2 decades, and my jaw is dislocated! Absolutely amazing!
Dang she brings hope back .the way she's just smiling in anticipation ..
Brilliant! i've watched Nandi several times online...she never skips a "beat" ...her fills are stellar and her breaks are perfection like the seasoned pro she is...what a treat to see/hear her play with one of the most killer rock bands in the world!! fantastic sister...keep on rock n' in the free world!!!
Her scream during the big fills is the most rock'n roll thing ever.
True! At 8.18 she lets it all out.
I genuinely love her energy and excitement for music. I play guitar myself and she's already a better musician than I'll ever be. But we're kindred spirits in regards to our love for rock.
literally brought me to tears. It's like watching x factor on steroids. Except its not fake!
Nandi means "bliss" in Sanskrit...she was...😍😊
Godlike mode! So genuine!
She never missed a beat!
She wants to keep the stick, that's so cute... For the members, it might be another show, but for Nandi this is THE DAY to remember for the years to come. So happy for her!!!
I'm positive it wasn't just "another show" for these guys, either. They have kids, they all have a deep love and passion for music. Being able to lift up a young one who is talented and loves music as much as they do must have been such a treat. This is amazing and I am so happy they pulled this off!
I hope the person who caught the stick Nandi tossed, saw the interaction between she and Taylor, and realized how important this night was for her.
It would really suck to see it posted on eBay or the Recycler or something…
Exactly! So cute that she was about to throw it was like nah I want to keep it. Adorbs.
I first saw the another of the videos from this night that didn't go as long. That one hadn't included the bit about Taylor giving her sticks to throw into the audience, and her KEEPING ONE. Absolutely adorable. Wish I could have been at this concert. This was a night to remember for EVERYONE.

He picked THE perfect song to play with her!
Makes the line “Gotta promise not to stop when I say ‘you win’, and she said…” hit different. ❤️❤️❤️
He passed her the mic, so she could drop it on everyone! He let her cook and left the kitchen, knowing she got it! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Beautiful ❤ Mr Grohl is a child of a teacher. He gets the importance of nurturing other budding musicians ❤❤❤❤
This is one of the examples why Grohl and the FooFighters are great... They encourage future musicians
I thought it was amazing when Grohl gave away his blue guitar to a kid during a concert, but this is another level of awesome. He didn't just praise the girl privately or on social media. He brought her on stage and gave her a memory that may never be topped.
❤❤❤
Remember Kiss-Guy?
Her drumming is just on point... she's actually better than most drummers that are adults. She's 11 and her future is so BRIGHT!!!!.... Love you Nandi!. god bless you sunshine. RIP Taylor, if only Nandi was old enough to fill his place. I really feel for Dave, he's up there with keanu for me, fame can get you so far but when you're just an all round good bloke, you go up another level.
She's not only got a great style but also-- it's clear that she absolutely loves drumming and practices, practices practices! There's gotta be hours and hours of hard work behind that smile and a dedication to do the music homage. That's an artist for sure.
@@vtbmwbiker I've been following her for a little while now. You oughta see her videos on her youtube channel. She just beats those drums and screams, it's awesome!
That's God given talent. Not an easy task for most adults. If only more people would notice their children's talents instead of plopping them in front of a phone or tablet...
@@firstnamelastname9918 I've seen a few and I agree!
In case anyone else like me wanted to help Nandi get some exposure: krplus.net/bidio/lt2uqXxzgoXKiYo
Nandi is a stone cold ROCKER!! Look at the joy on her face. Rock on Nandi, Rock on! Mike
There's something special about watching a child form a beautiful core memory.
