I love when a guitar player can play for the song and not just noodle over an otherwise wonderful piece. This gentleman has a wonderful approach on this track.
What a great song, great band, love this all around!! Anika is a terrific drummer, so much technique and feel. That groove is not easy to pull off perfectly, but she does!! But...that little bit of polite applause is all they get?! C'MON!
Wonderful complex drumming, style and rhythm changes at a superb level and four musicians that give you the feeling that it is so easy that they could tell you some jokes in between and still having fun playing. Simply phenomenal!
Flawless Guys. I love the energetic intermediates. Excellent musicians, always awesome Anika. Top recording. Everything founded onto a lot of Fun. Thank you all for magic moments Rüdiger
Fantastic version. Anika is such a drummer.... rocking & grooving with style and elegance.... true master. Must have been born with drumsticks in her hands ;-) ...
Anika easily one of my favorite drummers! The amount of control and finesse and pocket that she has to pull off her fills and grooves just wow! Drummer face literally the entire song 🤯
I love that it's recorded in front of an audience, are they asked not to move though? If I were privileged enough to be at this I would be bouncing around like I was on springs! I literally could not keep still watching this! Fantastic!
.. ОФФИГИТЕЛЬНО .. и технично и драйвОво ！ Изумительный дзаз-поп ！ Тенденция возвращения в мУзыку живых ударных и изгнания из рока электронной ритмики ...！ 👍💥
'So, it needs an insane amount of feeling and groove.....but for the first three minutes no-one can know where one is' Anika Nilles 'I got you fam' Just brilliant!
WOW!! Your video popped up in my YT feed. I couldn't tell if this was about a drummer or a band or ... but figured that out. Sheesh great chops, great groove and nice playing within the song. And great song/band/etc. Very nice.
Anika is world class ...really inspiring for all drummers community and much beyond-what a great musicianship , talent and skills , and all serving integrity of the song - enthusiasm and will to share is so refreshing! great band musicians also you can feel the connection- thank you so much for sharing video!!:)

In the past 7 years I've never regretted clicking on a vid that has Anika's name in the title and I'm pretty sure I never will. Thank you!
same here :-)
Definitely won’t🤘
+1 on that. An awesome track, each and every time.
right on
I just found her :) There's a unique sweetness and a balance i cannot explain. So good to listen to.
The balance of the audio and the sonic quality of the band is outstanding!.
For real. Some of the best mixing I've ever heard on this type of heavy yet melodic music.

Oh my word, sooo tight!
The guy on the guitar at 2:36 also has perfect concise arpeggio!
✨.....like a fine wine, that keeps getting better & better ✨💜
Did not know she could funk out like that, nice. Now you know the music is good, when the bassist and the keyboardist are both rocking.
Fantastic version.

That was an outstanding performance. This band is so talented, hopefully I'll see you live some day. Cheers!

It is a recording session inside a recording studio so I guess everyone has to stay put.
