Mojo Friday - Girl Challenges David Grohl - Edition

Nandi Bushell

TexDem had a last minute appointment come up and asked me to fill in quickly. No problem. 

I thought I’d find something uplifting and fun to finish out the week with. Nandi Bushell is a 10 year old drummer from England who is an awesome drummer. A couple of weeks ago she challenged Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters to a drum off challenge. Her video wen’t viral with over 2.3 millions views on Twitter. 

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

Her response:

I was planning to leave it at that but as I was putting this diary together she posted her rebuttal:

It was an honour to be part of the most #EPIC #ROCK in battle in #HISTORY! With the most awesome, fun, kind and legendary #DaveGrohl! Thank you for giving me this incredible opportunity. I am extremely grateful. The Rock Gods of old are happy! @foofighters @crookedvultures pic.twitter.com/Fyk4AyQ7pg
