10-Year-Old Drum Prodigy Nandi Bushell Leaves Slipknot’s Jay Weinberg in Awe with Her ‘Unsainted’ Cover

What do you do if you’re a 10-year-old music prodigy who just took down a legend in a drum battle? Well, if you’re 10-year-old Nandi Bushell, basking in the glow of a triumphant victory over Dave Grohl (who conceded defeat!), you ramp the energy up a notch.

In Bushell’s latest video, she shared a clip of her first attempt at drumming with double pedals … and she chose Slipknot‘s pummeling “Unsainted,” from the heavy metal marauders’ 2019 album We Are Not Your Kind, as her focus.

It’s … intense, with Bushell admitting she’s a “total metal head” along with the clip:

Yes! I am a total metal head! I love how awesome the drumming is in @Slipknot ! This is my first attempt at double pedals! Taking my playing to the next level.

Jay Weinberg, Slipknot’s drummer, was thoroughly impressed with the homage:

Nandi!! You’re unreal! I’m blown away by your passion and energy. Keep shredding on those drums! Next time we roll through your town, give me a shout — you gotta show me how you do that stick flip right there
