10-year old musical prodigy Nandi Bushell has left rock fans stunned yet again with her cover of Slipknot’s ‘Unsainted’.
The wunderkind who managed to get Dave Grohl to concede in a drum battle has taken to YouTube to upload her latest seriously impressive rendition.
“Yes! I am a total metal head! I love how awesome the drumming is in @Slipknot,” Bushell wrote in the YouTube video’s description.
“This is my first attempt at double pedals! Taking my playing to the next level. This song is called I #unstainted by #slipknot! Incredible drumming Jay Weinberg! This song brings my A game Corey Taylor #metalhead #metal #heavymetal #doublepedals. Thank you Ludwig Drums my new kits is sounding awesome! Zildjian Company Vicfirth Drum Sticks Roland #roland #vicfirth #zildjian #ludwig #zildjianfamily #zildjiancovers”.
Unsurprisingly, it didn’t take long for Slipknot to take notice of the video, with drummer Jay Weinberg revealing he was “blown away” by her talent.
“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,” he tweeted.
Weinberg is far from the first high-profile muso to have taken notice of the English tween, who has announced she is co-writing a song with Dave Grohl.

After plenty of back and forth during their drum battle, last month the pair met up virtually which led to Grohl inviting Bushell to perform with the Foo Fighters.
“When the Foo fighters finally come back to the U.K., do you think that you would get up onstage and jam with us? But it has to be at the end of the set, because you’re gonna steal the show. It can’t be at the beginning of the set, because if you come out first, it’s just all downhill from there,” he said.
“Yes, definitely, 100%,” she responded.
