Drumming prodigy Nandi Bushell has released a children’s book detailing her amazing journey so far, as well as basic drum skills for kids to learn. The illustrated 40-page publication, titled The Life-Changing Magic of Drumming: A Beginner’s Guide by Musician Nandi Bushell, is available to order now from Amazon.
Along with step-by-step drumming tips, the book spotlights big events in Nandi’s life, like performing with Lenny Kravitz and engaging in a drum battle with Dave Gohl. It also mentions Nandi’s original song “The Shadows,” explaining she wrote it for her dad when he was battling depression.
A full description of the book, which was illustrated by Andrea Stegmaier, reads: “Find out how Nandi Bushell — the young drummer who has played with the Foo Fighters — discovered drumming when she was just five years old. She shares how she plays — from the simple drumming beats she first learned to drum rolls, fills, and backbeats — and offers insider tips and advice for young musicians around the world.”
Nandi has wowed us over the years with her sensational skills on multiple instruments. In fact, Consequence named her our Rookie of the Year in 2021.
