PARAGUAY -- On Tuesday, a 9-year-old girl set up her drum kit outside of the Foo Fighters' hotel in Paraguay, hoping to impress the band. Surrounded by other fans who cheered her on, her skills soon caught the ears of Taylor Hawkins, who came down to see the young drummer.She has been drumming for about two years, her father, Julio Peralta, told CNN Saturday."She was inspired to play drums by her uncle, who is a drummer and a big fan of the Foo Fighters." Peralta said.
The festival was canceled due to severe weather -- but that didn't stop Emma from trying to get the Foo Fighters attention. Emma set up her kit and played for about 30 minutes, her father said, performing songs by the Foo Fighters and Nirvana as the crowd cheered her on.
