Nandi Bushell is a 10 year old who has gone viral with her drumming videos more than once.
They even earned her a guest slot on “Ellen”.
On August 17th she posted a video of her perfectly executing Foo Fighters’ “Everlong”.
The video’s caption says “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”
As she finished the video she looks right into the camera and yells “Check Mate”.

Apparently Dave is one to accept a challenge.
Even though Dave doesn’t have his own twitter account he took to Foo Fighters’ twitter and responded.
He tweeted back a video of him playing with the caption “Hey @Nandi_Bushell! Challenge accepted. Haven’t played these songs in a loooooong time.....thanks for the inspiration!!! Your move!!! Your friend in rock, Dave (Thanks to my daughter, Harper for letting me borrow her drum set)”

I’m a Dave Grohl fan but I’m rooting for Nandi.
