Kid drummer from Ipswich, England, was inspired to play drums by Ringo Starr at four years old
“Ellen Degeneres often brings talented kids onto her show to introduce them to a wider audience — you can thank her for Mason Ramsey’s sudden success — and it’s pretty amazing to see children who can play musical instruments better than most adults.
On Monday, Ellen invited 9-year-old drummer Nandi Bushell from Ipswich, England, onto the show, and asked her why she’s been playing drums since the age of four.
‘On Saturdays and Sundays, [my family and I] make pancakes, and I listen to The Beatles, and I saw the drum kit and Ringo Starr,’ Nandi said. ‘He just inspired me to play the drums.’” – Claire Shaffer, Rolling Stone
Ringo Starr was Steve’s influence to start playing drums as a kid – he always called him “his guy”. Unsurprisingly, The Beatles’ drummer still influences many generations! Thanks to Ellen and Rolling Stone, you can watch the talented Nandi Bushell drum solo here!
