    It was a real honour to be given a MasterClass in drumming from the INCREDIBLE Chad Smith from @RedHotChiliPeppers and Gregg Bissonette who has performed with many amazing bands such as the @ringostarr 'All Starr Band'. Thank You @drumchannel for making this happen!
    We had a LOT of fun. We jammed some Samba, Shuffles, Paradiddle, and much more. We talk about the styles of John Bonham, Jeff Porcaro, Questlove and Ringo Starr.

    I met Gregg once at a drum clinic he did at a music store I worked at at the time. He was the most humble, amazing, and super nice. Due to our policy if we were working we were not allowed to ask for personal autographs, but could for the store to display. I ended up helping him during his autograph session. At the end he thanked me for helping him remove the drum heads from the packaging so they were ready for the next fan to get one signed. He leaned over and said, 'I understand you are not suppose to ask, but I am going to give you one anyway.' He signed one handed it over thanked me again. That was something that made my week, and I still have the drum head. What a wonderful human! Always remember, a few minutes with someone, can make an impact for life. You are amazing, keep playing!

    Wow, Nandi is amazing and Chad and Gregg are top notch teachers with her. Gregg is like an Apex predator of a teacher during this master class. He cautiously awaits his moment, studying the student's ability patiently before firing away with 3 MAJOR lessons specifically catered to what he knows Nandi will need as a future career drummer. 1. "Questlove thing" - Gregg knows this style is rapidly exploding in the drumming scene, and will probably be a need to know style for her generation. 2. Cross Stick Placement - He notices Nandi can/will play anything, so a focus she will need is to begin really paying attention to the sound of each stroke. Pointing out nuances in cross stick sound will help may open her ears and mind to this aspect. 3. Trading Fours - Gregg takes note that she has learned countless drum parts and fills, but doesn't seem to want to ad lib too much while she's "on stage" with them. He wants to help her get comfortable improvising, discovering her own sound and groove, and allowing the audience to come with her on that journey of "Nandi Music." There is no better way to do this than trading fours with a couple of drumming greats.

      Yes and no.
      Yes, she is privileged to meet such drumming legends such as Chad and Gregg.
      But on the other hand, no, she isn't privileged, because if it wasn't for her hard work and dedication to her craft, she wouldn't have necessarily made as far as she's made it already.
      The fact is that Chad and Gregg is able to talk to her about executing a paradiddle and then she is able to execute it for that otherwise "tricky" drumming pattern (which has its basis in said paradiddle) shows that she has put in the time to work on her rudiments so that it can be applied thusly.
      If she hadn't put in the work (on her rudiments), she might not have made it as far as she has by this stage/by her age.
      In other words, the very thing that you talk about which made the legends successful is also, likewise, the very thing that is bringing her success as well. (hard work)
