[@Nandi_Bushell]

Wow Andrew!!! Thank you so much! I’m feeling really proud of your feedback. You are awesome!

[@grachisol8236]

Nandi! You killed it! Thanks for sharing my sweet nightmares cover on your ig stories btw.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

You smashed it! CONGRATS Must've been a great experience over at Drumeo :)

[@andreaslundin7935]

@Nandi_Bushell you are a rising superstar!

[@floundericiouswa5694]

Thank you both for this Friday mood lifter!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥

[@jonahcornish]

Speaking as a player of the "electric twanger" this is utterly awesome! Great drumming, great inventiveness - kudos!

[@Games-N-Things-by-Treyvalyn]

The half-time with the cowbell towards the end created such a tension and lead up to the finale. It actually created a stronger punch to the ending. She was brilliant on this track. And at her age, it's just unbelievable.

[@derrickshultz6800]

One of the cool things about this is a lot of haters always comment “but can you create your own music” when they are commenting on these young artists videos. This proves that she has the skills to not only flawlessly play a “cover” of a song, she can completely make up her own stuff in context of a song.

[@terrylandess6072]

I believe a bit of that comes from the fact they are nostalgia baiting old music for more views. I don't need to see yet 'another' cover of any songs I grew up with while most every band in bars covered them already a thousand times. An egg is an egg no matter how you cook it :P "Show me something new" gets harder as time goes on and things get broken down to their base components. This becomes a problem with any discipline looking for that next advancement.

[@barndude5562]

I like the fact that Drumeo and Nandi's instructor(s) are pushing her. It is obvious that she is crazy talented. That's why it is so important to challenge her, but keep it fun! Congrats to her for continuing her amazing musical journey! Respect.

[@allennewberry2904]

I love how hard she hits

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

She's a rocker!

[@cripdyke]

Did you see her drum battle with Grohl? She slammed those skins like they owed her money.

[@allennewberry2904]

@@cripdyke and when she played with Chad smith. She has that Grohl vibe, heavy hitting but like a walking click track.

[@ll7868]

She did amazingly well, even got a lot of the cowbell parts right. I like her version, I always thought the song needed more cowbell...every song needs more cowbell.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

This is true!

[@JamesDavis-sh9gh]

This could be a Chris Walken watched and approved video if he has the time to watch it.

[@FrankEastman-el2wn]

These guys are in a room with a child prodigy! How cool is that!

[@dakotaman408]

Her interpretation of the drum trac totally works!!

[@mikepetrucha2774]

I wish AJ Pero was still around to hear this. I'm not a drummer, but she sounds really, really good. I like what she did with the cowbell.

[@tihomirrasperic]

watch Nandi Bushell with Foo Fighters live and a duel with Dave Grohl

[@kwaherikwasasa]

Been watching her vids for a few years, she is absolutely amazing.

[@marysweeney7370]

Thanks for your analysis. Watching Nandi's vidoes got me more interested in rock drumming as a long time rock listener, who had little knowledge of drumming. I first saw Nandi with Chad from the Chili Peppers and I was struck by her awesome personality and talent. You can tell she is a one in a million. For some reason, she reminded me of my niece, who is young and a rock n roll lover (who is learning the bass)! It's so great to see young people loving the classics. I hope she retains her genuiness and enthusiasm as she makes her way into the professional rock world.

[@jangles1839]

This was DEFINITELY one of my teenage anthems so I've loved this one for MANY years! She absolutely made the drum part of this song much much better! She absolutely killed it! Wonderful job @Nandi_Bushell 🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Glad you dug it Scott!

[@helenlig323]

Love your magic marker wig and shades…and these features from Drumeo are so fun. Thanks for showcasing up and coming drummers, always enjoyable!

[@esrAsnataS]

She was amazing in that video, I would love for her to meet up with El Estepario for a collaboration.

[@MsBenlane]

thanks for doing this glad to see young people who still want to play drums.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup it's great to see these awesome young players

[@MrOfermod]

Dee Snider commented on the original video -- for those who didn't scroll through the comments. It's a response to Nandi's.

[@michaely5206]

Linear parts sounded fantastic.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Sleigh... I mean slayed it!

[@SynicalDan]

She seems to have evolved a lot in a short time. She’s becoming more methodical and technical…more composed. And IMHO, you can hear the results.

[@DB-zp9un]

The dude in the video reminds me of Nedermeyer (sp) from Animal House lol.. And when she says "how they all dressed up" lol.. that wasn't dressing up.. that was just everyday wear :D

[@carlgibson285]

I'm not really a fan of Twisted Sister, but this was great! Nandi absolutely smashed it!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Oh I love that song! 80'S GALORE

[@paladinminipedro707]

I think, not sure, but Nandi may be the only minor that drumeo invites to their studio. If anyone knows another then please let me know and share the link as this girl may be the one to get more young drummers noticed or inspires a bunch of youngsters to get their parents to buy them a drum set. that would be cool!! Nandi is a beast and a very hard worker.

[@tst6735]

BusHell she's amazing

[@ll7868]

Mark Metcalf as Doug Niedermeyer from Animal House, if not for him in this and the I Wanna Rock videos Twisted Sister wouldn't have been as huge as they were in '84. Tim Burton wanted them to do a cameo in Pee Wee's Big adventure after seeing the videos, unfortunately they didn't wear the make-up and went with the denim/leather look of their You Can't Stop Rock N Roll album from '83 for their fake Burn In Hell video shoot in the movie.

[@krystennawomack9724]

I love your reaction videos. I always look for them. You're amazing. You ALWAYS have good stuff to say.

[@JeshuaSquirrel]

She is going to be a rock god one day.

[@johnnyriley5943]

Sweet vid, SIR!! There's so much talent on this spinning ball of dirt and water. I know most folks don't associate Twisted Sis with Christmas. Believe it, or not, lead singer Dee Snider wrote a Christmas song, recorded by someone named Celine Dion. According to Google The Great, the song titled "The Magic Of Christmas Day (God Bless Us Everyone)" sold around 14 million copies, worldwide. Not sure what kind of royalties he's getting, but I don't think his kiddos will be eating window caulking for sustenance, anytime soon... Merry CHRISTmas and Happy Holidays, to you and yours, A.R.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

You're blowing my little mind here!

[@ch355_]

if you haven't seen it, there is a youtube vid of chad smith giving nandi a masterclass. it was entertaining for me (a non-drummer), and you might enjoy it

[@zoew_]

have you seen the video she did with chad smith and greg bissonette? its so good! you should react to it if you havent seen it. its on her channel

[@ll7868]

I used to do just that, make up my own drum tracks for songs, kinda like what Lars does in concert, but I did it after I learned the song the normal way. I'd like to see her try something with more energy like Accept's Fast As A Shark.

[@SkateSoup]

"Kinda what Lars does in concert" 🤣💀🤣💀🤣💀🤣

Hi Andrew , nandi s tracks are always great , you should listen too her rendition of Caravan i think on Drumeo , shows her versatility

[@claireverbruggen8003]

If you like good drummers, check out the 2 drummers of Nightwish. The first one added insane intensity to the songs, but had to quit due to health reasons and the second one is ninknamed the human metronome

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Hey! I have done a few nightwish vids!

[@davidterhune8277]

You said the actor in the Twisted Sister video looks familiar. That's Mark Metcalf doing a takeoff of his character in "National Lampoon's Animal House" BTW can we see some video of YOU playing?

[@moniqueleroux2198]

I love Nandi!

[@MrMystery666]

I think nandi’s over last year or so have made a seismic leap

[@ll7868]

The kid turning into Dee is the I Wanna Rock video.

[@ChurchOfTheHolyMho]

Interesting. While watching this video, I expected the reveal to be Dee Snider and not a kid also. Then Andrew mentioned it. Then I thought your comment explained it... But I just went and watched the intro to "I Wanna Rock", and I don't recall that video (or song) at all, and it isn't what I remembered for "We're not going to take it." Now I'm more confused. lol. Thanks so much for the comment, as it is likely where the confusion comes from. weird how that works.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

ahhhhhh

[@ll7868]

@@ChurchOfTheHolyMho Both videos feature Mark Metcalf playing Doug Niedermeyer as the father, he was one of the main antagonists in the movie Animal House. That whole "Is that a Twisted Sister pin on your uniform!?" comes from the scene with Flounder who wore a pledge pin on his cadet uniform just before Hoover hits the horse with a golf ball and bucking Doug into the mud. Doug Niedermeyer was said to have been killed by his own troops in Vietnam, it was a shock to see it was a case of mistaken identity.

[@ChurchOfTheHolyMho]

@@ll7868 "it was a shock to see it was a case of mistaken identity." hahaha Animal House definitely had some really funny scenes / situations in it. I listened to a behind the scenes documentary in the background (while doing housework), and my 2 funniest takewaways (if I heard correctly) was a) before shooting started, the actors crashed an actual frat party and were beaten up in a fight, and b) Kevin Bacon could never convince anyone he was in the film. haha

[@ll7868]

@@ChurchOfTheHolyMho Kevin Bacon had one of the funniest scenes, "Thank you sir. May I have another?" as he's getting his ass paddled. That always makes me laugh. Plus I need Animal House to play 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon, it's the quickest way, 4 Degrees of Kevin Bacon, to get to Bernard Lee who played M in the Bond films from '62-'79. Kevin and Karen Allen are in Animal House, Karen was in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull with Harrison Ford who was in Last Crusade with Sean Connery, Sean was the first Bond in 1962's Dr. No with Bernard Lee as M. Edit, I thought I could do it in 3 Degrees, forgot Harrison Ford, still 4 Degrees is a good round.

[@ll7868]

RIP AJ Pero.

Oh no! Really?

@@AndrewRooneyDrums He passed in 2015, not many people even heard about it. Usually when a musician dies everyone jumps on the bandwagon but not for AJ.

What does "clean linear chops" mean?

[@metalogical5131]

Her intro is fire lol

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup!

[@JorgeLourenco000]

Apart from too much high-hats it was an awesome performance.

[@kristalcornwell]

Im not a drummer but this chick is fuckin insane right.... like among the GOATS. Or is this just average drumming?

[@mannybravo237]

Really cool. She kinda lost time going into the breakdown w the cowbell, her double kicks are tasty, hitting the same groove. Sometimes the drummer gets a second take, she's allowed one more too, please! 🤘🏼Long time SMF of Twisted Sister

[@johnevans2044]

If she lost time once or twice after a big fill, that’s ok by me. You have to consider that a) she’d never heard this song before, b) she had to come up with her own drum part, and c) this was her first full take. Effectively it was a live, impromptu performance and all the more amazing for that. Plus the fact that she didn’t fall to pieces when she lost time - just recovered like a professional. I find that impressive. And knowing Nandi, if she had the time and opportunity, she’d practice and practice and refine the drum part until it was perfect. After all, this isn’t the drum Olympics - just Nandi having fun, trying things out, and producing something really worth watching and listening to.

[@mannybravo237]

@@johnevans2044 yes, i agree w your comment. She's already rockstar royalty, i mean, jammin' w Dave and the FooFighters, c'mon!🤘🏼I believe she was on Ellen? Entertaining and impressive.

[@johnevans2044]

@@mannybravo237 Yep! And her renditions of Rush's "Tom Sawyer" and Tool's "Forty Six & 2" are mind bogglingly awesome. Also her cover last summer of Blink-182 "All the Small Things" - absolutely joyful!

[@MsBenlane]

pretty good choice for this. would not choose pneuma by tool.. remember the video and liked it and twisted stand against censorship but not a fan of the band.

[@magnushallin3640]

I would like that you make a distinction between commercial videos and real drumming - as in single take live recordings. The difference between real drumming and edited videos is huge. Drumeo composes videos from multiple takes in their studio. That is kind of cheating and fools the viewers to believe that what they see is really happening in reality.

[@merbertancriwalli8622]

Contoversial - I think that she has the chops, but even for a prog fan this is overplayed

[@petttybettty]

Not really controversial... she even says she got too complicated in several parts.

[@deangoings]

She's heard it before. Period. She's not a good enough drummer to not had heard it.

[@cpoled66p8]

The way she finished the full song and was so eager to hear the actual song to hear her comparison shows she had no knowledge of the song. Haters gonna hate. You're a hater. Too bad.

[@deangoings]

@@cpoled66p8 um, giving my option doesn't mean I hate her. Stop being passionate and defending her as if you know her or something lol. Being eager proves nothing. She's always eager because she's constantly looking at the camera in all of her videos. As I said she's not all that good. Just look at her channel,

[@petttybettty]

so, imagine being so confident about being so wrong. I take it you haven't Seen her play live on stage twice with Foo Fighters.

[@CajunRX8]

Have you followed her progression in the last 4 years? Nandi Is a unreal natural talent, I would bet she played that cold. She is better than that, she is a musician and a drummer.

[@deangoings]

@@CajunRX8 I don't think she sucks but I think she's getting way too much attention because there's many other young drummers who are much better.. yoyoka is one.
