Shes a blessing for the instrument. Makes me love it even more.
close your eyes and listen. this is how we all wish we could play, top notch :-)
Chris L I may play that good if I could live two lifetimes, but I will never look that good doing it. Love her.
I got my own creative style however listening to music and the pocket within is pure to to the whole
Recorded IN the Meinl Cymbal Factory. Hell. Yeah. Great performance as always.
an artistic entertainment package, that drives an epiphany of a sunlight
I CAN LISTEN TO THIS ALL DAY...
I Totally agree! I have been trying to play this song for about 1 year now (even with her tutelage online), and I can not even come CLOSE to being able to play at any level near her. Every time I hear this song it sends chills up my spine. Her passion is infectious!
One of my most favorite drummers. Awesome grove!
That main snare sounds like heaven.
The crash cymbals sound GREAT! So clean and smooth! Awesome.
0% Nudity
100% Talent
What a great style. You inspire me not to give up. Thank you!
Nudity isn't a bad thing though.
With out a doubt my favorite! Playing "slow" is, for me, the hardest. You are incredible by keeping everything in tempo. Amazing! Thank you for sharing.
Anika when up upload videos like this you not only improve the drumming world but you reduce the ridiculous gap between female and male drummers, musicians and professionals. It's hard to describe.
You are an inspiration to everyone.
Großartig 😎
Kraft und so gefühlvoll .
Hammer 🔨
I’ve always wanted to play drums but life took me in a different direction. This young woman inspired me to start playing at 54 years old. 3 years ago. If I had 5 more lifetimes to practice I could play as well as her.
Good for you man! Doesn't matter the destination, enjoy the journey.
Great job Anika, love your drum and art work. Thanks for the great energy!
Anika is a beast, the drumming the sound the configuration of drums and cymbala are great...i love every new video she make
greatest, as always .... every new video from you is more mature and mature ....
great backing music, great guitar, great bass, great samples, great drums, great cymbals, great skill, great chops, great rhythmic modulations of rhythm = new drum level of 21st century drummers .....
I don't have much to talk about. Anika continues to surprise us with every new work released!
Your kit sounds amazingly full.
Perfect cymbal selection for this track.
...does anyone else listen to Anika to stay away while doing work? Everything she puts into her songs are beautifully structured, and the sound editting is extremely well done to capture the finer details. Keep up the solid work!
Just want to say, your understanding and articulation of rhythm is phenominal
Beautiful music, I can lie down, shut my eyes and travel a long way...
first drum artist video I've actually watched more than 30 seconds of without turning off. Very refreshing. I know it's difficult to have your own play style and sound but too many drummers these sound the same. You stood out to me
That kit sounds so organic. Excellent production.
Oh man, always feeling the funk as a fellow drummer/percussionist. Dance and slide! Oooo!
Bealtiful, song! Inspiration Every! i am Brazilian! i am drummer! very Good! Very good technique, lots of expression, really inspiring! Thank you! inspired me!
I love how this was shot in the Meinl factory too
From 2:20 - 3:40 is just so........inexplainable. So, mesmerizing, brilliant, unique, the combos that were put together and the fills.......DANG IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO GOOD! SO GREAT!!! Love the deeper toned snare on the right too. #ImInLoveWithSmooth7 #AndAnikaNilles #RawTalent #SoAppreciativeOfThisVid
i was a high school/college band backbeat guy. Then I became a commercial Fisherman in Alaska, and didnt have a kit for 2 decades. I finally got a clue, and bought a roland portable kit. Your style is inspiring. But i truly wish to thank you for inspiring another person. My 9 year old Daughter was naturally fascinated by the kit and all its sounds, and she was entertained by beating on it for the sake of the fun noise.
I showed her your videos. Now she sits with me and will intensely focus on rudiments and metronome exercises for up to an hour. (then the pounding for entertainments sake resumes, but with much better time.) Her favorite , btw, is the piece you played prior to your drumeo quintuplets lesson
You are a breath of fresh air! Love your innovative approach on the kit! one of my favorite YT drummers
Great drumming. Very interesting set design, with that snare on your right. Thanks for the video.
Hey Fabio, it's a Mapex machete Snare on the left with the black head... :-)
Is that just tuned real loose? Sounds awesome.
isnt the one on the left the Mapex Black Panther "The Sledge Hammer"?
Amazing groove!!! All those subdivisions in septuplets, and spot on... keep on truckin'!
absolutely amazing,gods finest hour.....what a woman speechless....
Hej Anika. You play with taste and style, and with a lot of character too. Such a natural groove going on and your ghost notes are right in the pocket!
Thx! Much appreciate that!
Anika Nilles he's playing in a Wayne from Valley Center
Dang this was smooth! HA get it?!?! But for real, everything about this video is incredible.
82 pessoas não curtiram?? O.o ... inveja é fogo... toca muito...
It’s so crazy, Anika probably has the most instantly recognizable sound as drummers go. Love her groupings of five.
love the 7 feel. seems to have inspired a lot of discussion!
out of interest, @Anika Nilles how are you thinking about the timing? I know it's 4/4 divided into 7's, but I can't help thinking as if it were 7/8 with the backbeat on the 4& (one backbeat per bar) - is this how you're thinking when playing? not sure if that makes sense
+Mark Evans Hey! This is in 4/4, I've played in 7 16th per quarter note... So the back beat for me is always on two and four.. But you also can hear it as 7/8... It's just a bigger time frame...
got it! I'll try and get my ears used to more exotic subdivisions I guess.Thanks for replying and keep up the awesome music!
Mark Evans It's not a 7 feel, it's 12/8---- duh.
I'm really not understanding how people are feeling it's in 7/8. Can you explain?
She's keeping a 6/8 pulse on the hi-hat and playing 4/4 on-top of that. I'm not getting the 7/8...
Am I alone in not being able to effectively count to an odd number? Such a mindblow. Love the ghosts, love the beat...Keep being awesome!
Edit: My point is cemented by the sheer number of replies with disagreement. This is a complicated beat that can be interpreted many ways. Even the artist herself stepped in and people still disagree. Read before you post.
exactly!!!
***** I've found simply playing out odd timing groups in singles on a pad first before hitting the kit is super helpful. you start internalizing the groupings and they become natural and not so "odd"
well I think the signature is not really odd here, just something like 8/4 with lot of ghosts and off beat accents. Great song though!
Pretty sure it's not in odd time. It's in 4/4 time but the sub-divisions are septuplets, that is, 7 notes pr quarter note rather than, say, sixteenth notes or triplets.
+Thomas Mikaelsen you have some good ears!
I think this might be your video with the best recorded drum sound. That snare sounds fantastic.
These dudes are just constantly LOCKED IN!!! And nothin’ but SAUCE!!!
please apply for the job as the middle drummer of King Crimson. this could be interesting. Pat Mastelotto, you and Gavin Harrison :-D
you are gorgeous and so is your playing :)
Anika, a great smoothie .... Got goose bumps hearing that piece ... Thanks for sharing
You are blowing everyone's mind with this post Anika. It's 4/4. Septuplets per beat. When she goes to the chorus, the HH foot is playing septuplets over 4 eighth notes. The bass and snare make it smooth7 by holding down the 1 and 3 bass and 2 and 4 snare. 7/8 time signature is something completely different than this. Great job Anika!!
Hi Anika! Where can i bye the 24" R&D Ride????Thanks
Hey Andew, this is a prototype Meinl did for me,... It's a medium extra dry ride in 24"... Not sure if it will be released in the future... :-S
Anika Nilles thanks nice sound!
awesome ride!!!
beginner
easy
hard
very hard
extreme

Between those two, Senri Kawaguchi. Though I think Anika gets bonus points for writing her own music.
Yeah, man! Very sweet. ..
eh lu disini juga ternyata wkwkwk
Matt garstka
Matt Garstka, Thomas Lang, Simon Phillips, Jojo Mayer?
I can't think of a single song in a septuplet subdivision with this kind of tempo, feel, and groove, much less one that sounds so seemlessly smoooth. I'd love to see her and a band do this material live!
My God she is so gorgeous and talented...her family and loved ones must be very proud of her. That smile when she is having the time of her life brings me to my knees!!
If you are a talented, hot, German woman and you are interested in odd-time signatures and obsessed with trashy Meinl Cymbals than you are Anika Nilles. :)
That down tuned snare on the right tho!
only one word for Anikas drumming....Tasty!!!
please forgive me, but I am beyond perplexed (and I'm being overly polite with my language) - but who are the 155 people who gave this woman's playing a thumbs down? Anika Nilles is nothing short of inspiring to all those who have been called behind the kit. Thank you again, Ms. Nilles
Ich bin ja schon ein bisschen verliebt in die Anika...
I love youuuu! Marre meeee! i can play guitar and can clean your drums :3
Nicolás Perez this was fucking hilarious bro lol
She wows me every time!
This gave me chills. It's like your drumming is not only the beat, but the lyrics and the vocal melody.
good drummer but terrible music.
Skillful & soulful drumming and the music is wonderful.
this is like the most iconic composition from Anika Niles, really love this
Yes! l found what it is the so extraordinary with Anikas performance.. Love
I'll see you at Bagshow of Paris !!!!! Next Sunday strongly Yeah!!!!!!!!! Very Good video Anika Nilles
une maitrise et une sensibilité musicale au top,envoutant,merci ,c'est touchant!j'adore
Sehr cool, mochte den Sound der Riesen-Ride sehr!
Great song! Great playing! Great sound! I am blown away!
Anika's vids are some of the best out there, so creative.
I find her writing and arranging to be even more fascinating that her playing. Wow
Can't believe this was improvised. So good
When I watch and listen to Anika play, certain words come to mind. Seamless, tasteful, thoughtful, introspective, graceful and effortless (though I'm certain a great deal of effort and thought to into her work.)
She is everything I ever wanted to be as a player. Its a beautiful thing to watch and to listen to.
Thank you Ms. Niles. From the depths of my heart.
Sooooo coolll..Relaxing as well..Anyone agree with me ? ?
I have watched this at least 100;times and are always blown away.
i did not have the chance to get a picture with this talented and gorgeous drummer, in the PASIC 2015
Ihr Stil ist ganz eigenartig! Vielem Dank.
Sweet video. Love the crash on her right side. Digging the backing track too.
Extraordinary musicianship.
Two snares... amazing..beuatiful...
Awesome performance! Awesome place! Congratulations! 👏👏
I think I have watched this 100 times now. :) Love it...
Absolutely beautiful. I immediately shared this with my drum students and other fellow drummers. I believe the second viewing of this video, I was weeping. One of my most favorite time signatures to play in.
This is artistry from set and title to composition and performance! What a beautiful piece of music AND visualization! Gorgeous!
Wonderful playing. Very subtle. Very tasteful and thought-out.
Brilliant. Thank you for the music.
Amazing rhythm! Fantastic music! I'm impressed!
I'm saving up for the 20" Xtra dry crash...thanks to Anika. She's really got it
Girl yer the best drummer I’ve experienced since Neil Pert-most especially from a composition point of view-he always understood that drums were an instrument and not just a beat for a song
Anika youre an unbelievable drummer, thanks for sharing this with us
Multitasking has never sounded so positive and uplifting.
Wow!!!!! As always very impressive! Your drumming skills are simply amazing
Best of the Best! Love you! Magic!!!
What a beautiful song! I cannot get enough.
Amazing gear and groove. Really awesome track. I loved it all!
I love, Love LOVE listening to you play!
Excellent one Anika. You are a blessing.
Really great composition! Thanks!
What a beautiful sound.... *eargasm*
Grande Anika. Gracias
gorgeous MASTER & MASTERPIECE!!!
One my fav so far. So awesome. I really love the two contrasting snare sounds!!!!
Some interesting and unusual mic placement in between front head bass drum and both snares, really dig the final mix of this song !
Wonderful. My favorite of all
Very tasteful music and playing. Inspiring!
