I am So happy I discovered Anika Niles before I left this earth. Soooo much musical talent and skill. Karen Carpenter is smiling in her grave and proud!
I love her answer about being a female drummer. We're all musicians, not male or female, black, brown, white...whatever. She's a great drummer. Period.
Thr33Guns She is. But she doesn’t play like a female drummer. And we all know what that looks like. Good or not, the way she plays is what takes the female out of peoples minds when they see her play. Other female drummers definitely play like 98% of the female drummers out there.
@@FanaticDrummer Man, you really don´t idea what you´re talking about. Go listen to Nikki Glaspie, Cora Coleman, Cindy Blackman, Sheila E., Karen Carpenter, Terri Lyne Carrington, Kimberly Thompson... So, you´re an ignorant. Go shed and don´t play the smart-ass.
Great interview. Prior to her now playing with Jeff Beck in 2022! I love your, her, drumming. Its definitely based in rock, with other time signatures mixed in. I feel like you are really inspiring Jeff's playing, and bringing things out of him with your powerful, inspired drumming. Awesome. Rock on Anika- human playing drums!
This was a really great interview with Anika Nilles. My friend's teenage grand-daughter is a drummer and Anika is her idol...what she want to be in life
WOW! Loved this interview. Anika's talent is ridiculous. ...So cool to hear she's been influenced by Mike Portnoy's Dream Theater days, and how she set up her cymbals the Chris Coleman style. I can listen to Nevell all day. Just a wonderful funk to the music. She's yet another stellar talent who proves you can get an amazing variety of tones and textures from a smaller kit.
I LOVE Anika! Found her about 5 years ago. She plays the style and way I wish I could. Just came across Nick a year ago, great player. Would have liked to see a demo of the 5/16 playing.
First video were Anika is not playing but simply talking along and she is still fascinating, she is really cool and very humble.....I wonder what part of Italy she refers to when she said she works a lot back home (Germany) and Italy. Really cool story of her life and very interesting in general....brava Anika!
Just a suggestion, the interview and talking is great and love the gear and Tama portion and background of the artist but I wish there was a little more playing, maybe let the artist play one play along in the middle of the interview where nick just steps out of the way and lets the artist play. Pleaseeee Need to get Matt garstka or the entire band animals as leaders in for one of these jam session/interviews
hey anika i really enjoy your music an think you,re wonderful. i,m 55 yrs young and i am a beginner i pray i can play at my age i only have a practice pad right now an hope to get some drums soon, i find a like the music without words the best, i didnt listen to this kind before but i really like these songs that you play ,i didnt realize women played drums, i have a condition called fibromyalgia and it makes it hard to play sometimes but, i still wanna try. i wish i could have you as a teacher but i live to far away in woodbine georgia camden county, it,s 14 miles from the florida state line. if you get a chance to read my text please give me any advice you may have . thank you for your music and God bless you
Tama doesnt pay. They just have the best artist relation division and supply drummers anywhere they need a kit. Just like Sabian and Remo does. Endorsements arent about pay, its about support that helps you get the job done without paying out of pocket everywhere you go.
I don't have drum skills at all, but thank God that I have ear skills and a good taste! You play wonderfully good Anika, God bless you in Jesus name Amen! If you aint a christian yet, I pray that you get born again! I would love to hear you in Heaven one day : ) Please Jesus make it happen, and Holy Spirit make Anika get in love with you in Jesus name I pray, if she aint already, because if she isn't, then it can't happen! Anika if you ever reading this, this is not weird stuff, it is real and true, Jesus loves you. He loves us all, and He wants us to be dead to sin and alive in Him as new creations in His righteousness! Only in Him even if our body dies by this virus or by something else, we will live forever thanks to His fulfillment of God's law in our place, so invite Him inside of you! No fear for death, we all will go that road eventually. Jesus said, even if our bodie dies, we will live forever with Him. We who already are, and everyone who becomes His are only visitors here on earth. In Jesus Christ, this fallen world is no longer our home, but the Kingdom of Heaven is our new home, and it is already within us, thanks to our Savior Jesus Christ!

Thank you Anika Nilles
FINALLY! Great to see this!
Great interview.

Mega player, great interview
Everybody that watches this better go and subscribe to her channel! She is phenomenal!

Really great interview.
Really cool! Loved the mix and of course the playing. A 15 minute jam would have been awesome. Next time?

1:10 she was about to go in, but then got humble at the last second 😂 nice kit setup.
😍😍😍😍😍

Don't let people get away with mispronouncing your last name! :)
Jeff Beck only wants to play with 2 drummers either Vinnie Colaiuta or Anika Nilles!
Haha, the best thing is that it did not turn into flam fest at all.

Great answer from Anika. She's a drummer; the female title people try to put on her has little to no importance on her drumming.
Drummers dont play Tama. ARTISTS play Tama.
Actually, actually, actually...
Are you fluent in Deutsche sprache?
@@rogerstanley3005 Ich sage es nur, weil es tatsächlich eine Menge Dinge gibt, mein verärgerter Freund.
@@laiftaim Es gibt selbstverständlich viele Dinge, vor allem auf Google Translator. Du Möchtegern!
"What brought you to Tama drums, Meinl cymbals, and Evans heads?" I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess...a crapload of money. HAHA!
I would imagine she heard herself in those brands and decided to endorse them. Just Saying!
As far as i know Tama doesn t pay their endorsers, just worldwide Support. Unlike a wellknown American company. But maybe i m wrong

I mean it's a good interview but you need to get people's names pronounced correctly. It doesn't take that much homework and it's all about respect 😕
It’s not pronounced ‘niles’ mate 🙄
Nick seems like a cool ass dude and a seasoned musician but he is very awkward at times. Lol. In a good goofy funny way though.
