“So how did you start your musical career?” Nandi “I drummed for the Foo Fighters when I was eleven.”

[hashslingingslasher]

He never refers to her as a kid, simply just “this person.” So much respect to Dave.

[zepheniahparker]

When your kid asks for a musical instrument, buy it. Cause every once in a while you get magic like this.

[soxpuff]

Give a child the time, resources, support, and inspiration, and they will flourish

[nhlover]

The fact Taylor sat this one out and let her drum instead of drumming too, showed how proud of her he was. Hope she keeps drumming in Taylor’s honour

[TSKseattle]

She didn't just play well, she knew where to come in with his breaks. She just understands music.

[Just_Sara]

She's not a kid drummer. She's a drummer. Who is also a kid. Damn. I am so excited for her!

[mannsolo]

Why can't life just be this good all the time

[AmericanSpyFox]

For those who don't drum, this is a very complex song to drum to with very fast, very odd transitions that requires a ton of endurance. To my knowledge, Dave has never allowed a drummer come on stage to play this particular song because he knows they're probably gonna screw it up or get tired and fall behind. The fact that he allowed her to play this song says that he has the utmost confidence in her abilities.

[tydenz-spsy]

The way she stops herself from throwing the last drumstick and asks Taylor “can I keep this one?” the sweetest moment captured on video man 🥹 that was awesome 👏🏼

[kevinstaggs]

Dave Grohl is so cool to these kids. The smile on that girl's face when everyone is chanting her name is priceless. A lifelong memory for her.

[jimboloper]

Some kids just dream and fantasize about things like this. This young lady lived it and she is awesome

[michellewheatley]

I cried when I found out Taylor died. I cried again when I found out Nandi had been selected to play his tribute concert. How beautiful. How honorable. How bittersweet. Be happy on the next part of your journey Taylor. You've left the drumming in young but talented hands.

[justsomedude]

I'm a 40 year grown ass man and this brought a tear to my eye.. you rock Nandi!

[joekirsten]

He takes her hand, brings her into prime location, gets the crowd cheering and then steps out of the spotlight?! That is pure class!

[Hanjhob]

This might be the coolest little girl I’ve ever seen. This is what the internet was made for.

[ricter]

I don’t think ppl realize how hard most of foo’s songs are to play on the drums this girl is amazing

[Dreveryn]

I love how naturally humble Dave is. He's not like "we let her come up and jam with us, " no. According to Dave they get to jam with Nandi and that's awesome.

[sibhuskyguy]

The fact there are 1.1k haters disliking How TF can you dislike watching someone live their dream and bring their joy of life to so many people?!?!?

[alexreid]

Nandi walking off stage with Taylor at the end had me in tears. I miss that beautiful and wonderful man.
