Every once in a while, when the Geezers get together in the garage we try David Letterman's favourite Foo Fighters tune...
Again.
And then, when it comes time to play live in front of actual people, we shelve it for myriad reasons including the fact that the drummer has a bit of a problem hitting the big cymbal crashes and fills to his liking during the big build-ups/tempo changes.
Well, given that said drummer is sixty years this kid's senior, I reckon he (and we) no longer have any excuses...

Truth be told, all the geezers are fantastic musicians and, personally, I don't even get what's not quite right about the crashes and the fills...Then again, I'm there pretty much as the mascot and/or the student manager of the varsity team except for the occasional tune that calls for a harmonica break, maybe...

What an amazing young talent! And kudos to Grohl for handling this with such class. I loved the bit where she kept one of the drumsticks!
S-B--
Ya - the drumstick thing was very quick thinking by that young kid...If you need a pick-me-up she and him are all over the place on the interwebs
(and as I've said before...who would have guessed in the early '90's that Mr. Grohl would turn out to be Nirvana's P. McCartney over the long term?)
