I met Gregg once at a drum clinic he did at a music store I worked at at the time. He was the most humble, amazing, and super nice. Due to our policy if we were working we were not allowed to ask for personal autographs, but could for the store to display. I ended up helping him during his autograph session. At the end he thanked me for helping him remove the drum heads from the packaging so they were ready for the next fan to get one signed. He leaned over and said, 'I understand you are not suppose to ask, but I am going to give you one anyway.' He signed one handed it over thanked me again. That was something that made my week, and I still have the drum head. What a wonderful human! Always remember, a few minutes with someone, can make an impact for life. You are amazing, keep playing!

[@allenwilson530]

[@BetterDrummer]

Wow, Nandi is amazing and Chad and Gregg are top notch teachers with her. Gregg is like an Apex predator of a teacher during this master class. He cautiously awaits his moment, studying the student's ability patiently before firing away with 3 MAJOR lessons specifically catered to what he knows Nandi will need as a future career drummer. 1. "Questlove thing" - Gregg knows this style is rapidly exploding in the drumming scene, and will probably be a need to know style for her generation. 2. Cross Stick Placement - He notices Nandi can/will play anything, so a focus she will need is to begin really paying attention to the sound of each stroke. Pointing out nuances in cross stick sound will help may open her ears and mind to this aspect. 3. Trading Fours - Gregg takes note that she has learned countless drum parts and fills, but doesn't seem to want to ad lib too much while she's "on stage" with them. He wants to help her get comfortable improvising, discovering her own sound and groove, and allowing the audience to come with her on that journey of "Nandi Music." There is no better way to do this than trading fours with a couple of drumming greats.

But on the other hand, no, she isn't privileged, because if it wasn't for her hard work and dedication to her craft, she wouldn't have necessarily made as far as she's made it already. The fact is that Chad and Gregg is able to talk to her about executing a paradiddle and then she is able to execute it for that otherwise "tricky" drumming pattern (which has its basis in said paradiddle) shows that she has put in the time to work on her rudiments so that it can be applied thusly. If she hadn't put in the work (on her rudiments), she might not have made it as far as she has by this stage/by her age. In other words, the very thing that you talk about which made the legends successful is also, likewise, the very thing that is bringing her success as well. (hard work)

I've always liked drums, but she lights a fire in me when she plays! She is like a sponge!!!! I LOVE IT when people are hungry for it! I am blown away and can't wait to see what heights Nandi reaches. She is phenomenal!

[@Vnachi8]

This is amazing. I'm old and I won't be around to see it, but I suspect in 40 years, when you are in the same position as Chad and Greg, being at the very top of your profession, you'll be doing the same for another young musician. Great respect for all three of you, sharing your talents with us. Keep rocking young lady.

[@lafenatu]

I remember when Dave Grohl was blown away by Nandi’s talent & he had her play at a Foo Fighters concert. She is so awesome and such an inspiration for people.

[@darrengladstone3159]

No kidding, and instead of being shy she rocked it hard.

[@biadrum]

I'm a brazilian drummer girl. I'm in awe to see you play samba, Nandi

[@ferretyluv]

It makes sense she’d like it. I imagine 5/4 beats are fun for drummers.

[@civildiscourse2000]

I should be asleep but I had to watch that all the way through. Just lovely.

[@prmac3071]

I don’t know what’s better, these guys mentoring a great prodigy or this great prodigy appreciating old guys with great experience!

[@felipeperazzoli5775]

The moment that they play música brasileira, for me is the great point, show all the respect that samba and partido alto deserve

[@PatNetherlander]

Just looking at those ear-to-ear grins from Chad & Gregg says it all. They enjoy this soooooo much and really want to teach their massive knowledge to this prodigy. And Nandi, star that she already is, picks it up so easily. They love it!!

[@tomassoejakto]

About 25 years ago in college, my faculty amassed the entire almamater to celebrate its 30th birthday. one of the hundreds of performances we cooked up was three drummers just bangin' away for 10 minutes. it was one of the best things i've experienced in life and i'll never forget it.

[@davidkuklinek8127]

I love how these stars give it all back. The enthusiasm not going only towards Nandi but together with her in this video, it shines through the displays to many other young and future star musicians. Well done guys, I appreciate how you invested your time.

[@steverennie5787]

Watching Nandi absorb what these guys have to teach her is amazing... she's a force!

[@EugenioFranklin]

Awesome job girl. Chad and Gregg are such nice persons.

[@Btvstudio]

This is one amazing kid. I bet famous drummers love meeting and playing with her. It's so genuine.

[@Mikey-zc4gw]

using vocalization "if u can say it u can play it" to teach drums/percussion ... beautiful !

[@SewCreativeMary]

When professionals give a child who has the talent the love and the work ethic to move forward is helped and mentored by those who paved her way this awesome to see! They are giving you an awesome gift Nandi! And someday you will pass along that which you have learned to a little one who fell in love with percussion technique.

[@souliscious1]

When I say this warmed my heart in all the ways... Baby!

[@eloy6017]

I was going to check just a few minutes of the video and ended up watching the whole thing with a smile on my face the whole time!

[@sparkyguitar0058]

What I noticed most is when Nandi plays her familiar stuff, she got her smile going, stick swinging sometimes screaming thing going. But now her concentration is so on target, she ain't missing a thing. Great video, great teachers. I'll bet that was so much fun and afterwards when alone she probably did her scream of joy.

[@leftbehind4030]

Its amazing to watch the little sponge soaking it all up....you go girl!!

[@mathewadams2929]

This was so much fun to watch!

[@pattyheaston4235]

I just love how much love she's been getting from all of her influences ❤

[@TANTRUMGASM]

wow, the entitlement and privilege this girl gets is on level 100. My favorite drummers never were this privileged as youngsters. Nobody is .they mostly earned it playing 1000's of gigs in clubs as they honed their craft. Life is sure easier for some entitled people in society.

[@VictoriaKempPhotos]

​@@TANTRUMGASMit wasn't enough to say it once? You had to copy and paste it? How many times? That's pathetic.

[@oldmanstumpie1061]

I don't have a musical bone in my body but listening to that was amazing. I can't believe I watched 32 minutes of drumming. Truly inspiring seeing an amazing young-gun listen and learn from the greats. All the best in your musical career and life Nandi. BTW, it's great you have such a supportive family.

[@esj1026]

This is awesome. Nandi is so willing to learn. Keep going Nandi, your rock! 🤘

[@marshallheadkt66]

Superb - great to see these three having such a good time, thoroughly enjoyed that!

[@buddhabman]

They really enjoy passing their passion down, and particularly to someone who gets it and can really do it. 🙏🏿👊🏿🥁🥁

[@lisacarter1371]

Great job Nandi! I watch you all the time!! My son started playing drums at 2 in a half years old...he's 38 today playing professionally...God is Great ❤!

[@mikev.1034]

It’s like I’m listening to one drummer when all three play at the same time. That’s how accurate they are!

[@roland197604]

Why do I like your videos Nandi? 3 Great songs 2 Your really good And the most important is no1, it's really joyful to see someone having fun!

[@marciatinto6582]

Spot on!

[@honestgoat]

This was so fun to watch. I still can't believe how talented Nandi is. I can't wait to see her in 10 years and then 20 and the 30. She might end up being one of the greatest drummers of all time.

[@highwaytoquail754]

She's an impressive little lady that's for sure. Amazing talent. Also looking forward to seeing where she will take her skills.

[@LittleGirl-Harry659]

This was so fun to watch! Nandi, often, when I’m feeling stressed or sad or upset, I watch one of your videos. They are my moments of joy 😁 Thanks to you & your family & all the wonderful musicians who join in on the fun 🙏

[@sparklight5317]

So I'm just wrapping my head around these guys combined have more than 6X years as world class percussionists her experience.....and she's nigh right there up next to them. Nandi...rock it...we need you.

[@melissamilligan]

The pure joy on your faces watching her and her ability to take direction and instruction like a sponge. So great to watch.

[@tombrady565]

I should be in bed, never watch a 32 minute video late at night. Chad and Gregg, couldn't have been any cooler and Nandi killed it. I have no talent whatsoever and this young lady as well as these 2 fantastic guys blow me away. This was heartwarming to see how they welcomed her and interacted with her. Always enjoyed Chad and will continue to follow Gregg from now on. I will always be a Nandi fan, she is pretty fantastic.

[@pearlgracestillpearl7441]

Same! All of it!

[@theinnerrevolutionaries108]

ME TOO

[@walley2637]

i love when he asks her when she learned that bit, and shes like "2 or 3 years ago" and you can tell he's thinking... so when you where 8yrs old? damn... this is an example of someone with natural talent combined with the proper guidance and instruction. good on her parents for that!

[@davidfrancis4218]

The way these two treat this beautiful young lady is such a pleasure to see. They both recognize her talent and love it dearly!
