It all started with a YouTube video of Nandi Bushell playing drums for the Foo Fighters song "Everlong".
She posted the video on Twitter and wrote that it was her dream to jam with the Foo Fighters one day.
She also challenged Grohl to a drum battle.
Grohl accepted the challenge and also released a video in which he first played "Everlong" and then challenged Bushell to play the song "Dead End Friends" by "Them Crooked Vultures", a former band of Grohls.
The ten-year-old was not asked twice and not only performed the proposed song, but also imitated Grohl's movements when he challenged him.
In his reply clip, Grohl not only congratulated the young drummer on her victory, but also played a song specially designed for her.
Grohl not only sang at this, the "Grohlettes", the musician's three daughters, performed in the Backgrund.
Now the temporary climax of the battle, which has now become more of an internet friendship: During a video link organized by the New York Times, Grohl invited Bushell to jam with the band on stage at the next gig in Great Britain.
But it had to be towards the end of the concert, because otherwise Bushell would steal the show from the band, Grohl said.
The two also agreed to record a song together.
