Caravan - Whiplash Movie - Most difficult drum cover EVER!!! - Age 12

[@LukaDaGoat77]

She might be one of the greatest drummers ever when it's all said and done. Wow!

[@Xcrv]

She is, but i bet theres some 12 year old somewhere in their moms basemen that will never get as much attention but sure is one of the best... Everyone deserves to have a chance that has talent in the music industry just like Nandi

[@lenanava5409]

Damn right she is!

[@gumborambo4540]

Karen Carpenter would be so proud!

[@mickfoil]

Somewhere out there, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa and Max Roach and all the other legends of jazz drumming are smiling. This was BRILLIANT .

[@genemadlon295]

Came here to say this! They would be so happy to see her getting so much joy from playing. They might get a little nitpicky about her using a matched grip instead of a traditional grip, but it doesn’t slow her down a bit! Lol

[@claudiofernandes9834]

I'm pretty sure Buddy would complain she's not using the traditional grip 😂😂

Young lady, you have raised the proverbial bar for percussive and musical acumen, the likes of which have not been set for several generations. Buddy Rich is giving you the stink eye while nodding in approval.. Much Respect..

[@thiagoribeiro5255]

When you think that's enough, here's comes our beloved Nandi to make or jaws drop... AGAIN !!! It's unreal how this "little" girl has become a so big musician. Thanks Nandi and congratulations for another achievement.

[@lotwizzard1748]

no doubt,she makes it look easy

[@MordicusEgg]

Nandi, you are developing so much! Breaking out the jazz! Keep on growing! Your perseverance is palpable! Wow! Amazing music, girl! Thank you!

[@katyas-mom]

Jazz is the doorway to evolution. It requires stamina, strength, patience and the ability to *listen* and not just react. It also requires you to learn flexibility with yourself and the rest of the band. Embrace it, and shoot for the stars.

[@mdev61]

Thanks for not only sharing your amazing talent and hard work but for inspiring an old man to keep practicing his music. You're a bright shining star!

Going right for the Gold Standard, Duke Ellington! Composed by Sir Duke & Juan Tizol & first recorded in 1936 with the great Sonny Greer on drums. Top tier work Nandi! Keep it up! You are already a professional!

Nandi, your hard work and dedication to your craft is inspiring, to say the least. I can’t wait to see what more you have hiding up your sleeve. This was amazing!

Stunning technique, but, much more importantly, incredibly musical. So many players sacrifice musicality for chops, but not you. Bloody marvellous.

I knew you were concentrating hard when I only saw a few smiles flash through, and one or two twirls of the sticks. In fact, during the first part of the video, I was afraid that you had gone all serious on us! 😉Keep at the sight reading - someday soon you'll be able to sit down at your kit and read a new piece straight through (if you decide to take on session work)! Bravo, kiddo, and thank you for giving us a window into your progress. Every video is a few minutes of awe and joy for us.

You're always such a joy to watch! Keep pushing your boundaries and being so amazing!!!

[@georginafairchild7609]

I was 12 when I started to play drums in the 60s.I had an amazing jazz drummer for a teacher. He told me, if you can play jazz you can play anything. He was right. Nandi you are always such a pleasure to watch. Accomplished artist and yet you haven't lost the enthusiasm of a pre-teen. Always a pleasure to watch you young lady. Looking forward to the next video.

[@jimwallace2036]

A true inspiration to all youth. I like at the end that she reiterates that you can do it if you put the effort and practice in. And she is just too damn cute doing it.

[@SuziPoozi]

When I was 12 back in 1983, I played the drums/percussion in band, for 3 years total. Our school colors were red and white, so I had to buy white shoes for when we marched in parades. I had the exact same shoes, I love that they have come back in style! I didn't have parents that were really supportive of my playing, so I never got to have a kit. I love watching you live the dream that I had at your age, wearing the same shoes. LOL! Back then, there were very few females that did percussion, which made me want to play even more. Thanks for working so hard and getting to do so many cool things I never came close to doing. It's been fun watching you grow and become so accomplished. So proud of you! Girl Power!

[@BeatofHerDrum]

You killed it Nandi ! You put in the work and embraced the challenge with practice and memorization. You played with precision of timing. Not an easy thing to do ! So proud of your accomplishment !

I hope I live long enough to see how exceptional you become as a young women. and I am looking forward to some original music written by you.

[@HelloMyNamesMichael]

She actually has a song and an accompanying video called The Shadows. Of course, she sings and plays all instruments. She wrote it for her father who was battling a bout of depression. It’s quite good!

[@matnichol]

That’s amazing. How dare you make this look so easy! Some of the best rock drummers can’t do this!

[@StarGeezerTim]

Truly an inspired bit of playing. Staying on top of the syncopation without it either getting away from you or rushing the bars is the mark of a great artist. You have every right to be proud of this accomplishment. This puts you in a stratosphere of truly rarified air that most drummers will never breathe in their lifetimes. Rich, Krupa, Roach, Gadd, and a short list of others dare to tread where you now stride. Keep your joy, and some healthy humility, and there's no telling where this may lead!

[@colleenmahony8803]

That climactic scene, the anxiety, stress, skill, pain, exaltation... That movie was a brilliant encapsulation of what we all hope to achieve in art, but seldom do

Being a true musician you can switch to multiple genres and perform the way you just showed us. Seeing that sheet music, along with the time ,effort and determination you put into such a complicated piece of work shows that you are an unstoppable force to reckon with. You are a true inspiration to people of all ages and backgrounds.You showed there's no limit to what a person can do, if they choose to do it. Keep smiling, laughing, and having fun. Much Love to your parents. Peace Out.

[@jasonwatson1412]

Nandi you are such a joy to watch. I’m a grumpy middle aged man and watching you makes me feel young again, seeing how much happiness drums bring you is infectious. Don’t ever let the industry or naysayers get you down, although with your skills they will more likely be begging you to sign a contract 😀. Have you ever listened to Mastodon? Brann Dailor, their drummer, is one of the most skilled technical/fill drummers alive today. If you aren’t already aware of his drumming I would highly recommend a listen to his (Mastodon’s) catalog. His style would be a great addition to your skill set. Either way though, you are a stunningly powerful talent with more skill than most drummers will ever have in a full lifetime, and you have an incredible career ahead of you. My jaw still hurts from hitting the floor when I saw you play with the Foo Fighters, one of my favorite bands. You played like you were Neal Peart in disguise. I didn’t see any fear or anxiety. Just happy. You nailed it 1000% perfect. I can’t wait to see where the road takes you in the future. Jason

Everyone is looking at you as "young" "a child" "little", look, you have already surpassed most, if not all of these people, you shouldn't be looked at as a person of whatever age you may be, but just that you are an excellent drummer and excellent musician. There is no age limit, high or low, that defines those things. Keep going.
