Nandi Bushell Pays Tribute To Neil Peart With 'Tom Sawyer' Drum Cover

After famously competing head to head with Dave Grohl (and forcing him to admit defeat), child drum prodigy Nandi Bushell has now set her sights on paying tribute to one of the all time greats - the late Neil Peart. In a new video, the young wizard performs Rush's 'Tom Sawyer'. 
 On the decision to cover the classic song, she wrote:
"I wanted to try a Rush song that would really challenge me. I watched an interview where the Professor said that "Tom Sawyer," "remains so difficult to play" — so I thought I would give it a try. It's actually really fun to play. I really hope I have done the song justice. Professor Peart's playing is incredible. I hope I got the strength and smoothness balance right."
