10-year-old Nandi Bushell challenged Foo Fighters' drummer Dave Grohl to a drum-off, so he decided to write her a theme song for round two. Every superhero does need a theme song, and this one by Grohl (featuring the Grohlettes) is perfect for Nandi...

Kinda Makes me wish I had practiced more as a kid

Some people are just born with talent. Of course if your dad is Dave Grohl chances are you might be naturally musically talented. His daughter played a song on the drums live! What a life.

Wayland hit the Intersection on Saturday night for a blistering show in Grand Rapids with Royal Bliss. Hopefully you were one of the people at the show, rocking hard with us! If not, you can still check out some live videos from the show here at WGRD.com. I got together with the guys before the show, to film some cool bits with the band of their gear. I've always loved the rig rundowns and gear to

Dragonforce is wrapping up their Maximum Overload US tour leg, and have done some fun and crazy stuff, including Herman Li playing his guitar during a show on a cruise while underwater in the pool! He didn't even use a 'stunt guitar', he used his #1! Freaking weirdo. Check out that #1 guitar, and all the rest of the guitars the band has on tour, the keyboards, drums, and gear they're using.

Motley Crue is starting its farewell The Final Tour tonight. The tour's first show takes place at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, right across the street from the flagship station of "The Free Beer & Hot Wings Morning Show," 97.9 WGRD.

Most DJs just play crap from their laptops and check their email while people dance, but this dude rocks the hell out of the drum kit! Okay, so technically there are two guys in SquarElectric, but the other guy mostly does video and some sound effects.  The guy controlling all the music and samples, as well as playing the drums, is Michael Schack.  He's an energetic Belgian drummer who has put tog

Marco Minnemann is one of those drummers you have to see to believe.  He's insanely technical and the stuff he plays is fantastic.  He's played with tons of people, from Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree, to Guthrie Govan and Brian Beller in The Aristocrats, Necrophagist and more!  He even auditioned for Dream Theater after Mike Portnoy left. Recently, DW drums set up Marco with 7 GoPros and sat him
