To all my friends,.. here it is! My new video and song is called "chary life". Honestly, I'm a bit nervous. This is more than just a drum video for me. Writing and producing songs, making music is passion. It's a creativ process that takes time. I just wanna say thanks to all of you for taking this time with me. I want to take this opportunity to say special thanks to everybody who supports me throughout this journey and works with me in the background, especially the entire Liner Studios family!
Enjoy!... and feel free to share !

Anika Nilles - "Chary Life"
I wish I came up with your ideas! That was ridiculous! Great job.
Great song, awesome drumming. Love it.
I really like the rhythm changes. You're right, all creative processes take time. So just take your time and keep up this good work!
You're awesome! Anika keel it up!! \m/
Nice job!
Every UA-cam drummer in the world take notes. This is groove and the true art of drums at it's finest. It's not about how showy or choppy you can be. This girl has got it man! Solid groove and flow. Listen to that spacing omg and the use of her splashes and tiny nuances my god... Less is always more!
Don't forget to check her hand and foot technique too... she's immaculate with it!
Boom, fluid as can be! ^
Scarf3086 Agreed, although my OCD kept screaming "TIE THOSE SHOE LACES!" ;-)
John L Rice I feel you XD
You say less is more, but there is a hell of a lot going on here. Not that I'm complaining, I love super-complex rhythm displacements and ghost notes but you can't say it's simple!
She is just amazing. One of the greatest ever.
Finaly a woman drummer who doesn't look at the camera and smiles every 30 fliping seconds! Awesome inspiring drumming that's all I need!
"Chary Life" is one of the best songs listen ever
Thousands of years ago it was the woman playing the drums in the temple. Welcome back. We need you now more than ever. Beautiful playing and feel for time. Thank You.
This is, by far, my favorite from her. So much feels without having to chop the mess out of stuff. Good vibes just like all of her stuff.
I can, t stop listening this
Because for this women and the drum sound..?
Both!
Beautiful,!!
...
I cant play drums or any musical instrument for that matter but I find this very inspirational to do something that I can do. GREAT!
wow!! Awesome!! I really appreciate your words!!!
You are definitly one of the best drummers on You Tube (guys or girls) PERIOD!What I love is you're showcasing your own style........ not copying what has already been done like just about everybody else on here!You and your style are both amazing....... so technical with perfect timing.I was in many bands growing up back in the 80's and none of the drummers I've worked with sounded even remotely as good as you.
This is my favourite out of all the songs I've heard so far on this channel.
Thumbs Up if u agree.
Bass and drums totally talking to each other...very much a pleasure to watch and hear.
Great job Anika! You are an inspiration to musicians young and old, to go after our passions whole hearted! There are people who don't understand what you are trying to do, but from those of us who do keep it MOVIN!!!!!
thanks so much! Your words are a great motivation for my future work! For doing what I'm doing! THANKS!
Anika Nilles Anika, I have created a playlist of all of your videos. I have it listed on my channel. It is in the top 10 most viewed playlist of my channel. People LOVE your style! Never stop drumming! :-)
All I have to say is this girl a genius! Incredible sense of timing, dynamics, and technique... Please don't stop making music!!!
you can feel all the passion!!!! amazing :)
This is the third video I've seen of yours. You are incredibly gifted and inspiring, saying this as a fellow drummer. I'm blown away at the fluidity of your playing and your creativity. Your grooves, fills, etc. are mind-boggling yet you can still tap your foot to them, which is important with solo-centered music like this. Technique, groove, and creativity like this doesn't happen overnight. Keep up the good work. And, for the love of God, please keep these songs coming.
This tune may have saved my soul.
Thanks my friend! I'm glad you like this tune!
I enjoy watching her play so much! Not only for the technique and the skill in polyrhythms, but the joy in her face of what it is to play and step out of yourself while playing to enjoy the music.
Lovely composition and production... As for the drumming, very groovy and tight... Superb clean chops, and absolutely love the fat snare... Beautiful...
Yup AmbarI Love the tone@ Snare.Also entire utilisation of the kit & more so, at which part of the music to go into double & 4 times in the normal 8 counts of one full bar. Resembles somehow from my point of view, is Mr. Shullai ( with sudden subtlety in the overall tone of the drums) while the rest of the instruments maintain their original level then back again the gradual increase of the drum tone to the original level. These are my personal opinion, what say!!***!
Oh, and thanks a lot for sharing this,(been quite sometime) haven't come across some interesting drums***!!!
A pleasure bro...
The fat snare is not as tight as the regular but that is probably the intended effect
Again.....I am in awe of your seemingly effortless playability. You have such a rock solid meter and an eloquent feel.....you're just a wonderful drummer to watch and listen to. Thank you yet again.....Cheers!
You are a fantastic player! A brain in each limb she has!
Talk like this I do. :)
much pleasure it gives, yes
This is the reason I started playing drums. Beautifully put together.
This is one of the only female drummers I have seen who doesn't look like a female drummer. Yes, obviously she looks female, but I mean the way she moves looks natural and fluid, Other women drummers like Sheila E, or Meytal Cohen, or Cindy Blackman, or Hannah Ford, and/or others often look awkward when they play. Even though a nice groove comes out of it, they look all stressed and like they are working super hard to get it out. There are lots of superstar male drummers that make it look easy. This is one of the only women that make drumming look easy that I have ever seen.
Doesn't "look" like a female drummer? I think the way one 'moves' is determined not necessarily by gender, but by the way ones body is put together anatomically, as well as strength and last but not least, choice of technique- just like anybody else! If Sheila E. looks like she is straining for example, then perhaps you are misinterpreting that to mean weakness of some sort! Some of that 'movement' you mention is part of the SHOW, (using Sheila again as example) and appropriate for the latin-based up tempo tunes. There are no 'women drummers', just drummers. I have played for 30+ years and always wonder what to do with the gender-directed comments such as' you play great for a girl.' What exactly does that mean? Sorry but I am amused by these comments. They must arise from a conditioned inherent male response to 'women treading on so-called men's turf.' (Although I have heard women say the same things!) it is absurd. Forget that she's female! She's an amazing ultra-talented drummer. Period. (I'm going to try and borrow some technique. Haha! How about you???)
I used to drum for about 5 years on and off when I was a little younger, stopped due to an elbow injury. Watching your videos is making me want to take it up all over again. Baby steps. Ordering a new practice pad first. I'm a little rusty! But thank you for opening up my eyes again to the wonderful world of drums. :) much appreciation from Australia!
Girl loves her fives. And can pull them off better then most. Keep it up!!!
Alta pegada no tempo certo, show de bola parabéns, sucesso e que Deus te ilumine sempre.
I'm a huge fan of Anika, and i always will be :D
Je suis très heureux de t'avoir découvert il y a quelques années maintenant , tu es passionnée et tu transmets une énergie incroyable. quand à ton jeux il est excellent tu as une dextérité fabuleuse et le son est super....Enfin pour moi il y a tout , chapeau bas...
Great music and great drumming - amazing.
Maravillosa, una gran inspiración, una bellísima canción.. gracias por la música.
Wonderful , a great inspiration , a beautiful song .. thanks for the music
Amazing, groovy. Perfect.
I have to say... I feel your drums not just like a rhythm instrument, but notes inside the music. Your style is amazing and reminds me, a lot, the great Neil Peart with that approach. Congrats...
Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words!
Anika Nilles
Yes! Anika, your style is snappy and timing impeccable! I have a playlist of you featured on my channel. Please take a look at my MASSIVE music library at my music channel. BTW, the music you drum to is perfect for your style. Very futuristic, clean lines, nice and crisp! :-)
Very groovie and nice flow throughout entire song.. Well done :)
The ride could have been mixed a little louder for my taste..
Anika, I'm just now hearing Chary Life. Dont know how I missed it but I just LOVE your work. Your level and style is so much where I want to be. This song and Wild Boy are my favorites. You are awesome to watch and just as amazing to listent to. Thank you so much for sharing your gift!
Some nice Pink Dope . . . really . . . :-)
Nice chops!
Very talented!
Happy to share!
Amazing!
creepy boomer post award goes to you
Words escape me. Hard to describe the talent here. Amazing.
Nice style,amazing playing!!
Anika is so cool! Not only writing all of the material but producing it! That takes talent and dedication! All drummers should watch and listen to Anika. She is a prime example of a master at her craft.
whos still listing to this track 2023
Her tone signature and accuracy is so refreshing
Kinda has a police like influence with the different vibes put in. Keep up the good work!!!!
I'll be waiting for some more drum-less tracks!
Keep Drumming

*****

Keep Drumming
Jonathan Riddick
***** ***** this track is coming as an drumless version soon! :-) I'll keep u posted!
Anika Nilles Great, I'll definitely be checking on it! Keep up the great musical work! GOD Bless!
Keep Drumming

Anika Nilles *****
Where can we find some of the other mp3s? I am a huge fan of both the tracks, and the playing! Keep it up!
David Denton Look on amazon mp3, the past few drum videos that where done 'alter ego', etc are now drum-less tracks you can purchase.
soulmate of the drum kit. i played drums a good part of my life and was blessed to see some of the greats of my time. what i hear here is some of the most precise, creative, cleanest drumming i can wrap my brain around. it is very much like i would want to play if i had that kind of talent. i reminded of a childhood inspiration, Mr. Bruford ~ No Rules. he also played Tama. but i will dissent here and cast my vote for the earlier Mapex kits, more fluid, nicer overtones, richer palette. you are kinda an Einstein on cymbals, testing the laws of thermodynamics. what a thing to make the world a better place with your gifts, bless you.
awesome job as always !!!
but for me, I like to hear a little bit more of the drum set in the mix
well, I changed my headphones to my Sennheiser HD 280 pro and I listen the difference and ... you are right I think I need throw to the garbage these old Nokia headphones (but to get by I use it) ... forgive me guys (especially Anika) !!!
***** both are not really balnced, i agree. They are both More made, to fit in the buying shape oft non-hifi Experte but more the youth and its fashion preferences
I'm cool with these Sennheiser, but I live in Argentina and I'm sure that you don't know that the price of the dollar it's more expensive or higher than other countries, so I can't buy dollars or buy something from USA or another country because the Customs retain what you bought or wants you pay a excess. But is not always like, I could buy a 14" Byzance brillant heavy hi hat and 19" Byzance traditional medium thin crash and I have brought it from "outside"
I can not speak English, but I can say : I saw this video and fell in love with his music and techniques ... amazing! congratulations on your music!
Hello! Can anyone tell me what kind of pedal beater that is? Great video Anika!
Thanks Kim! It's a DW Beater! A very light one!
Anika Nilles Been looking everywhere for that! Does anyone know if its compatible with the Iron Cobra?
Thanks in advance.
Gold Wolf Music It should be, but you should try the Iron Cobra Wooden Beater! It's amazing.
Such a beautiful sounding dry ride which complimented the dry drum sound. Needed a glass of water after that song ☺
Can you do a vid of yur setup and how yu warmup?
today is my birthday!! the present from you is ...watching you again......thank you......
I've heard about this chick. I thought she was some singer. She's actually a dope drummer. Not like a lotta other chick who get props for being good for a girl. She can stand with the guys. I'd buy her stuff to steal her licks. She's got some slick stuff. Gotta turn my son onto her.
One of the best drummers i have ever heard ...
5 dislikes??, wtf!!, this is flawless :3...
That was my thought too. Must be non-drummers that don't really understand what's going on. The changing time-signatures might lose some people.
The drumming is amazing as usual Anika stuffs..but the song is very boring
That was from the drug pushers who put in "dope" and ended up here lol.
I am enamored...I love double bass drumming. I came across Anika and couldn't believe how technical and amazing her rhythm is. I absolutely think your drumming is amazing...truly amazing. I don't hand out compliments like this to easily. I just easily enjoyed listening to how good and technical and off beat your sounds were. I am a fan. I hope you will continue to keep growing and amazing us with more.
Lovely comment, but just wanted to say I dont think shes using a double pedal here? I dont see a second pedal but the shots of the beater are a bit blurry, all the same I dont think she is which is even more impressive I think. Im personally not a fan of the double pedal because I think in the wrong hands they are played badly very often. Just my opinion ahaha :)
why do u have ur toms setup like that? just wondering =D
Love to have a 12" Tom in front.... It's just that I feel more comfortable with this configuration..
+Dale I'm sure Bill Cobham has his reversed, lower to higher!
I admire her ability to stay so relaxed under the pressure.
cool music!
You absolutely blow me away every time I watch this, so funky you understand Groove in a way I can only dream of, your a real inspiration
Thank you x
Your shoe is untied. I would have offered to tie it for you but your foot was moving too fast :d
The way you play is so fluid. All the technical stuff works within the context of the song and its a joy to watch.
So fucking good. Lovin this song, and that triggered snare... mmm
Thanks a lot! The snare isn't triggered.... It's tuned that way.... :-)
Anika Nilles O_o I've never heard a snare sound like that before without a trigger... I'm confused and impressed.
+Velatoget I don't know how Anika tuned her snare, but may be you look at this video " The greatest snare drum tuning trick EVER! " by Masshoff Drums. Not my sound, but it works!
+Velatoget She tunes it very loosely.
go to the meinl version the snare sound way more awesome
i love your use of permutations, watching your vids have been a huge help in learning how to incorporate them into grooves. thank you, and i hope to see/hear more soon
not my kind of sound. snare sounds dead to me.
yeah liked her old sound mix better as well
looks like they used different mics than most of her videos but I could be mistaken. That obviously can make a huge difference in sound
is she playing rim shots on the backbeats?
it´s also a different kit she´s playing.. gotta keep that in mind
well then it's the drums I don't like. but did you hear anything of the ride cymbal?
Fröelich Weihnachten und Happy New Year. Ich habe die Hoffnung 2016 wird wunderbar mit neuer Musik zu sein !!
I can't get enough of this song. This and Have you are my favorites. Thank you so much for giving us such great music. I'm waiting anxious for your next song. Greetings from Mexico City!! I hope one day you'll come and give a clinic. Crossed fingers.
You shouldn't be nervous, you are extremely talented. Keep your Confidence Level high, you have all the boyz who play drums shaking in their shoes, good for you keep up the good work.
At 4 Mins You really Start Blowing the Doors Off. You Make it Look Like any One Could sit behind the set and do it. Great playing.
It's amazing. I love it so much. Anika, you have a great talent and you are great drummer. RESPECT!!!
She is such a pleasure to watch.......Amazing skills, phrasing, use of hi-hats, everything is perfect.....Plus she is so beautiful....A perfect ten...keep up the good work Anika, thanks for sharing your talent with us...:-)
Anika... you just amazing... big thanks from my 7 year old son who learning drums.. he is a big fan of you.. good luck.. keep go..
Excelente!!! me encanta...
desde Barranquilla, Colombia
Anika, your music reminds me of why I first started playing. I haven't practiced drums seriously in years, but I'm considering giving it another go. Thank you.
ERES INCREÍBLE. HAS COMBINADO LOS RITMOS Y COMPASES BAJO EL MISMO TEMPO.
Y QUÉ CONCENTRADA! GENIAL!
VOY A ESTUDIAR ESTE VIDEO UN TANTO MÁS!
MUY MUY MUY GUAY!
Fantástica!!!
Sempre com execuções impecáveis!
Watching you and Emmanuelle Caplette........the flow and grace is pretty real. Very nice
These cymbals are awesome!! And your playing is awesome as well...
Thanks for sharing your music.
Anita Nilles.. You are amazing!!!
I cannot stop listening to this! You are an inspiration. Been playing 18 months and sometimes it gets tough trying to break the next learning curve. Thanks for all you are doing. Keep it up!
My jaw just dropped.... Need some time to comprehend and pick it up.just superb.
Omg that fill at 1:22 ! Unexpected stuff in music is the best!
Anika, you are by far one of my favourite drummers of all time. You groove so well, and the songs your write are awesome! I can't get enough of your drumming!
Anika from when she was still one of us mortals... before the endorsement deals and all the cool stuff she can get her (well deserving) hands on now without any issues. Awesome!
I think we can all agree that this song is at it's best when there's no "off-beat" fills but this is FUCKING AMAZING
Anika and Emmanuelle are my favorite female drummers.
You hear people talk about how important the room is ... and you aren't messing around! Sounds great.
I'm 42 years old. When I grow up, I wanna play like you. Thanks for the inspiration. :) Wondering why there are 86 dislikes.
+honeyacid Why is there a dislike button at all?? That's what I really want to know.
Think I'll head on over 2 AMAZON & buy this nicely composed by a girl drummer music..fantastic on the kit..well done
Need more uploads if possible. This drumming is top shelf. Gotta share it with the world more.
anika you are beast his vidios your productions really want to see more of you playing thank you for making this wonderful for us to enjoy the embrace of his new friend Charlis drums of Brazil ....
Someone asked me why I was watching videos of girls drumming and I had to respond by saying I wasn't. I was watching videos of amazing drummers and Anika Nilles clearly fits into that. Not only amazing at drums but an amazing composer as well. Keep up the awesome work.
Been watching you for awhile now, I'm an old time guy and don't have an appreciation for electronic music but I gotta say your drumming is very power full and explosive and yet so tasty and has such nuance that I'm a fan. Stay true to yourself & ignore the negative comments..you do inspire...
You are such an inmense and incredible drummer and composer. Keep on jazzing and jamming. Thanks for such talent and composition. God Bless Youuuuu.
Im so purchasing your tracks, I've only just heard of you, blown away by your talent, the composition and production quality, completely mad skills
AWESOME work. The audible presentation and watching you play... you're obviously having fun and it should be obvious you're pleasing the audience. GO for it!!
Have to say its the best song ive heard you write so far Anika. Wish it was on the EP I bought. writing a hook for a tune and underpinning it with a drumming masterclass isn't a gift everyone can do. You have a great team helping you, you can hear it in the mix the effort your friends have gone too. Love the keyboards particularly. Thank You... My wife's jealous but she does make an amazing garlic chilli chicken so unless you can do that as well...... Oh and my 2 year old son listens to your songs on the ipod and tries to play on his Roland HD1.
Sensacional!! Groove de Anika, demais..
you inspire me Anika Nilles rings too
one day I get there and I thank you very parabens may God bless you with this big hug talent
Anika I just want to say i really enjoy your playing, i don't listen to this style of music but i stumbled upon one of your videos and instantly liked it. Continue playing and God bless
From what i've heard of your music 3 minutes ago, i just subscribed, and will listen again indefinately
Speechless!!! Perfect song... perfect drumming...
Your style of groove and taste of fills makes me so stoked on drums. Really cool approach. Thanks for sharing!
Oh my gosh anika is one of the best female drummers ever
