Not only was she performing in front of 20K people for the first time, but on top of that, you've got Taylor Hawkins looking over your shoulder from behind and Dave Grohl in front - two of the best drummers from the last 25 years - talk about pressure! There are a LOT of pro drummers that would not have done as well if dropped into the same situation. But here's this ELEVEN year old who absolutely nails it! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes

There is a benefit to a) being young and b) being female ... because MUSCLES have to parts: a) STRENGTH and b) SPEED ... and you can only train strength to increase but when you do that you lose your speed. Men automatically develop strength because they usually work in such areas that require strength ... and the only way to "keep your speed" is to keep training reflexes and such. Women have less muscle mass and thus arent prone to "going the strength route". tl;dr Her SPEED is awesome and this fuels her energy. If she keeps this speed drumming up she will probably find it all quite easy.

The screaming and emotion she played had veteran bass guitarist Pat Smear jumping into be beside her and completely animated. Bass guitarist's are not easy to impress, as a drummer, you really have to do something special to impress them.

When Nandi twirls those sticks, then you know she means business. I love her energy, charm, and talent; it's infectious.

The lil angel stole the shoe. Dave is very gracious , God Bless them both .

When I was a teenager and told my influences I wanted to jam they just laughed at me and told me to get lost, how wonderful must it be to be her age and have her idol invite her to perform live in a stadium.

I've watched 8 videos of this all from different angles... I really don't have words. Thought I was badass retiring at 43. The reality is my whole life was wasted compared to hers. 11 years old.

I love how Foo Fighter's guitarist's just gravitate towards Nandi after she screamed her heart out and drummed her heart out. You just watch them get right into it moving. That's very special that an 11 year old can impact a band that's pretty much seen everything touring that much. They were so into it.

Love how Pat runs across so he can watch her play at the reprise.

If that kid can get out there for the first time and nail that set like a pro in front of all those people, there's no stage that she cant conqueror. Im looking forward to seeing how this young prodigy progresses into adulthood. We might have had a glimpse at the greatest female drummer of all time. RIP Taylor Hawkins.

We get to jam "with" Nandi... and never mentions her age.. Grohl is such a class act ✌

I'm left wondering how the talent of a highly gifted 21 year old drummer got to manifest itself in an 11 year old girl. Her timing is brilliant. No wonder Mr Grohl is mesmerized.

I think I've watched every view of this song about ten times each. I just can't stop watching. This is the joy and positivity we need more of.

Pat Smear jumped in to be beside her and moved to the music like I haven't seen in over two decades. Pat Smear has been around for decades, Nirvana, not one easy to impress. The fact thar she had her timing so on point, the screaming.. how can you not gravitate towards that. She just earned the respect of Pat Smear. I would love to see the Foo Fighter's have Nandi as their drummer going forward. Taylor I'm certain would approve of that choice. Respect.

I know one thing fer sure , back in 1973 when I was 11 wouldn't have been no rockstars letting that go on , would bruised their egos. This is why I admire Dave . He remembers being one a them kids in the crowd this is where he came from. Besides she's really good !

Nandi is not only a musical genius, but an embodied spirit of the very most joyful human kind. For those of us who have followed her a bit, this moment was more than a showcase for a great star in the making, it was for many reasons and most of all because Nandi is touched by the gods, an occasion to witness a kind of peak human experience. The stuff of dreams. I can't watch it enough.

First off all thanks goes to the most real and humble MF’ers in rock and roll The Foo Fighters. These guys are hands down some gifted and talented musicians but beyond that they are a great group of human beings. They didn’t have to extend this platform or showcase to enhance their brand or show whatsoever but they did it to extend the life of this thing called “real musicians playing real music”. They know the next generation of music can only survive if the custodians of music like themselves breathe life into it for future generations to flourish and it’s their responsibility to make sure that happens. Just by extending this platform to Nandi on that night may have sparked a fire in thousands of children around the world via KZread to pick up and learn to play a real instrument be it drums, guitar, bass, piano or whatever. Nandi was excellent and after watching many of her previous videos I expected no less and to her I say “Bravo kid you’re the real freakin deal and not a gimmick”!! However this “Props” post I gotta give to the Foo Fighters for being what the world really needs right now “ One Love”!

When your good you know your good Nandi is not big headed like all great musicians she is totally confident in her abilities and crowds don't faze her or interrupt her one goal to be Infront of a massive crowd and making them happy JOB DONE NANDI the best of British

The enjoyment I get from watching a youngster enjoy the music as much as I do is priceless.

It was an amazing event! And even more special now being one of Taylor’s last shows in LA :(

So much emotion and passion from that little girl.. I can relate having a 3 year old girl myself that's adventurous, always headstrong and going, stubborn as a mule. If I could bottle that energy and sell it I'ld be rich. She does have a very caring side when she's not taking toys away or beating her 3 year old twin brother and 5 year old brother. Perhaps I should get her a drum kit. It's either that or at least 2 activities like gymnastics and swimming.

Pat really enjoyed it! Wow! She's really good!

If the Foo Fighters with Paul McCartney and Nandi don’t perform at the Super Bowl this year, the selection committee missed a once in a lifetime opportunity !!!

She is so talented The other part of this is how Amazing Dave has been as he could have ignored her but hes gone out of his way to make her welcome. Also a big high five to Taylor for letting her close out the show Great bunch of guys

It’s watching things like this that gives me faith in humankind, I know nothing about drumming/tempo/pedals etc, but what I can say, is this just looks like sheer perfection to me, watching those sticks going like a blur, hitting those cymbals for the first time at the chorus in perfect time, I’ve watched this so many times, I can’t stop. For a band to give someone so young an opportunity like this is just awesome, what guys!. What a future this young lady has, looks so humble too, I wish her the world.
