Thank you so much Andrew. It was a very emotional day for everyone. I just wanted to give my performance everything I had and make Taylor proud of me. It was an incredible experience playing live to 90,000 people and an honour to have been asked to play for Taylor. Nandi x
There’s an upload shot from the crowd as well, and she was singing along the whole time. When she , as you said, flared it up a bit, Pat and the bass player both turned and smiled at her like they couldn’t have been more proud 🥰
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Me too! Link, Deidre?? ... never mind ... found one! th-cam.com/video/b2ZQDONWMuc/w-d-xo.html NB: Fun Fact... Nandi was playing with the signature Taylor sticks he gave her personally after 'Everlong', at the FF LA gig ... R (Australia)
What many people don't understand, because she makes it looks so easy, is she's in control of that band for the duration of that song. They are following her - she's not fitting into their playing. The fact you can't hear any difference in this performance between her and any other professional drummer playing this song in front of 80K people tells you all you need to know - she's the real deal. And only 12 years old. Wow. Great reaction.
I think it's because she plays like that's all she needs. Like No food, no water, no housing, just drums. She's Animal's daughter and the Muppets need to make her one.
It's hard to believe but from my last live on stage experience in 2004 the only thing I remember was my drum kit with cymbals, my buddies playing their instruments ahead and then just a crowd. Drummers are always kind of hidden/covered 🙂 No reason to fear.
Hi Andrew, I think the thing that most impresses me about Nandi is that, on stage she's fearless and a real powerhouse drummer, all business and no showboating but, offstage (and off video) she's a normal, sweet 12-year-old girl. There's no pretence, no displays of an inflated ego - Nandi's message of thanks to you demonstrates that perfectly - this girl is grounded and has a close, tight family around her. You really get the feeling that, for Nandi, the only route is up, at whatever she chooses to do and that her family will be there to support her no matter what. I'd hope it's with drumming, I'm pretty certain it will involve music but whatever it is, you just know that Nandi will be supported and nurtured and that she'll be successful.
This was definitely a moment that I was looking forward to and she did not disappoint. If you look closely when she gets on the drum riser by climbing up the side. Rami (keyboards) is raising his arms. lol. When she leaves she uses the steps at the rear of the riser. I cracked up when I saw that, but when you are a nimble 12 year old rock star you can hop the riser any way that you want!
I have love watching the reviews ever since I started watching our girl watching the reviews of professional drummers and drum teachers who are astounded and just giddy watching her being so epic and so advanced is just as much fun as watching her perform it’s the best this is the best
Andrew, I have been a Nandi fan for about 3 years. My Daughters introduced me to her channel. I love your reacts, specially for her videos. You are honest and really point out the small details of her skill, most other react creators aren't "musically" skilled enough to see. (not all of them, and certainly not bad mouthing any of them. They all have there own expertise) I hope you check out her new single, I love it. In my opinion it's only the beginning. Once her voice matures, look out!
As said - she is so good and so professional. You can tell the band likes her there and respects her. She had to be at that show. Taylor would have wanted it
Great reaction! Shane Hawkins (Taylor's 16 year old son) just played drums at his dad's tribute concert in LA, My Hero and I'll Stick Around. He actually upped his game and killed it. You'll definitely have to react to that one, too! (Did you react to his first performance at Wembley on My Hero, at the first Taylor Hawkins Tribute show? You have to see that one first, lol)
once upon a time I thought i'd be a drumist ,grew out of it tho' still , love drummers and drums . Seeing , hearing women like Senri , Nandi , Yoyoka , (and many others who are still "children", ) just make me cry with admiration at what they are achieving good on you Andrew for giving them a look in , it's great to see some one else being amazed at these prodigies .
I haven’t always been a big fan of how she performs on many of her TH-cam videos with all the stick twirling etc. But mad respect for her totally professional and awesome performance here. Now hoping Dave invites Yoyoka (who is in the US now) on stage for a similar performance during their US tribute concert in a couple of days. 😎👍
Check out the latest from Nandi.... This week Nandi released a professionally recorded single and video, She wrote the song and played all the instruments herself. th-cam.com/video/p4XyA7pAauA/w-d-xo.html and on top of that she tackles the subject of mental health in the song... Its about her dads struggles with depression. her dad is her rock so that must have been very unsettling for Nandi too.
Taylor never played this song this way, it's Nandi's version, and Nate was smilling all the time. Pat turned toward Nandi at least three times with a big smile, and you can see him almost missing to change the tuning on his guitar at 6:15 because he was just looking at Nandi. If you want to listen to the real front sound that we had on the live streaming: th-cam.com/video/hCRJ7RU2mYw/w-d-xo.html If you want to see all the band reactions: th-cam.com/video/b2ZQDONWMuc/w-d-xo.html By the way, Nandi was also playing with the sticks Taylor gave her after the soundcheck last year.
Hey! I read this sweetest article which said the band looked happiest and at most ease during this song which I don't know if it's true or not I didn't watch and analyze each performance but they do all really enjoy playing with her it seems. I think partially because she's so smiling and positive. Seems like they really like her energy. It seems like Pat wants to take her home. Lol thanks for those links there's not a lot of video maybe after la they'll unblock some stuff I just love her. And of course great review all right thanks for those links thanks for the review Mr Rooney!!! 🤘🏼
@@amandatheyahoo411 it's a french name? Maybe I should ask you my question in french: "Pourriez-vous mettre le lien de l'article en question, j'aimerais bien le lire également?"

The thing is, once you reach a certain level you will plateu if you are not around people who are better than you and by finding mentorship from these greats, she is actually in a context to learn. She would be the best person in the room in ANY average learning context and she'd get bored. events like this are essential for her development as an artist. Druming has ALWAYS been communal with elders teaching younger people. It's awesome that Rock is doing the same thing
She also played with them for Everlong when she was nine, I think, and absolutely killed it. I could close my eyes and not hear any difference from the regular drummer. You should check that out.
I have watched a number of videos where Dave and FF have guest players and Dave continues to keep looking back at their guest while they are playing. However, while watching this, Dave hardly looked back at all. It was as if he had the same confidence that he would if Taylor was playing. She is amazing to watch and listen to. @Andrew Rooney Drums ... would you consider her beyond a prodigy at this point?
I love Nandi! She is the future of female led rock. Have you seen Paulina Villareal of The Warning at age 10 play Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck". It is insane.
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Awesome! They're such a class act. I'm not a drummer, but the recording drummer cuts deep with what feels like rigid rudiments. On HAYLOFT, my take is he's alternating accents to different points of the composition, and fast. As a listener, it ends up making the simple rythms and fills feel euphoric for me. But I'm not a drummer- so I'm interested...why does it hit so hard lol
@@AndrewRooneyDrums hahaha ok!! I just went through the last 25 videos and you only did it on the Jon Karel video. But I can probably assume you've done a few times and I just never noticed!!! Good stuff!!!
She feels it, and that is probably part of the draw, it's like seeing a baby look like an old man. She plays like a rock star because she grew up believing she was one. Like some of us didn't start our mimicking until we were teens but she's been doing it since infancy. Like Tiger Woods in golf.
Shane Hawkins couldn't lay off and sped up at times. Travis Barker was metronomic but also I felt lacked dynamics. Nandi Bushell played like she belonged and had absolutely nothing to prove.
@@katyas-mom Thank you for the important perspective. Yes, you're right, the emotional load of the two young people was not comparable. Shane Hawkins certainly did a solid job up there, and yes I guess it is nitpicking for the particular context.

Nandi, that was a superb performance and a wonderful tribute to Taylor Hawkins! More please!!!
Wait a minute! What about me and the millions of live viewers all around the world!!! 😁
Great job Nandi!! You're an inspiration to me!! Keep rockin.🤘🤘🔥🔥🥁🥁
It was a beautiful performance. Thank you for everything you give on stage. I am your biggest fan.
Shes so precious I just wanna hug her and feed her soul food
I’m turning into my grandma 😂

She's amazing! So much confidence, especially for her age. She deserved that performance.
100% Don
Nandi is my favorite artist to watch, she gives us her energy and just makes me happy. Her abilities take huge jumps every year it's amazing to watch.
Yes Curtis!
I get nervous playing for my drum teacher. Can’t imagine. She’s amazing.

She's having fun in her TH-cam videos and that's why I like to watch them. I put her covers on loop on my TV and let it play for hours.

We are talking about Nandi here only Paul
I foresee Nandy becoming a standard feature of Foo Fighters concert. If she's not there the audience might be disappointed.
Yeah Why not!? I would think that's logical

@@adladl4276 She's 12, give her a break. 😂
