A 71-year-old grandmother from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, challenged “The Tonight Show” bandleader Questlove to a drum-off on Tuesday ― and she killed it.
Dorothea Taylor and Questlove exchanged riffs with the guest holding her own. Then she took a crack at Phil Collins’ famous drumming segment from “In The Air Tonight.” (Check it out below.) Taylor was invited on the show as part of host Jimmy Fallon’s “Nana Week,” in honor of his new children’s book “Nana Loves You More.”
Questlove, who took home an Oscar Sunday for Best Documentary, appeared to do his award-winning best to hold back a bit. But his opponent was a ringer. Taylor is apparently known to some as the “godmother of drumming.”
