Watch: Dave Grohl writes a song for 10-year-old drum phenom Nandi Bushell
"Nandi! Best drummer in the world"
Back in August, 10-year-old Nandi Bushell challenged Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl to a ‘drum off’ in a Youtube video where she played the Foo’s hit track Everlong.
Grohl accepted the challenge, replying in a tweet from the band’s official account. “Challenge accepted,” Grohl wrote, tagging Bushell. “Haven’t played these songs in a loooooong time…..thanks for the inspiration!” Before adding, “Your move!!!”
Hey @Nandi_Bushell!
Challenge accepted.
Haven’t played these songs in a loooooong time…..thanks for the inspiration!!!
Your move!!!
Your friend in rock,

Grohl graciously accepted defeat in Round 1, but it turns out he had a trick up his sleeve for Round 2. On Monday Grohl released a song on twitter that he had written just for Nandi, featuring his daughters on back-up vocals .
Ok @Nandi_Bushell….Round 2! Every superhero needs a theme song. Here’s one for you! Mad props to The Grohlettes for the background vocals. pic.twitter.com/js9xBasbpw
