Young Drum Virtuoso Nandi Bushell Rocks Rush’s “Tom Sawyer” And Does It As Well As Neil Did!

If you don’t know the name Nandi Bushell, she’s the amazing young drummer who first went viral playing Foo Fighters’ songs that eventually caught the eye of Dave Grohl, and the whole world. Now she’s done something most drummers can’t, she’s completely ROCKED Rush’s Tom Sawyer in a video and she does it perfectly. She does it as well as Neil Peart himself would have. Even Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee agreed because they re-tweeted her video and said so personally to her. What an amazing drummer and awesome young lady.

This one is for you Professor. I wanted to try a @rushtheband song that would really challenge me. I watched an interview were Neil Peart said Tom Sawyer 'remains so difficult to play'. So I thought I would give it a try. It's actually really fun to play https://t.co/h8kjhFd3f2 pic.twitter.com/kTxVQwZiBE

Oh @Nandi_Bushell , you brought a tear to my eye with this tribute! Tom Sawyer is a difficult song to play drums to and you made it so much fun. Neil would have loved your performance and wonderful smile, as both Geddy and I do! - Alex https://t.co/vcmUNgSlIi
