Thanks guys! I'm really happy you like it! I honestly means a lot to me! We always put much passion, time and effort in the compositions and video production.... To see your great response keep me going!! thanks to everyone who's dropping by and especially following!
Not only is the playing superb and classy but all the music Ani works with is exceptional and very atmospheric too, great combination for start to finish and in a class of its own
Hola Anika Nilles, soy de República Dominicana quiero que sepas de parte mía que eres una Excelente Baterista muy buena y profecional. me encanta mucho tu sonido, tu ritmo y tus arreglos musicales. Espero que pronto vengas a mi tierra ha darnos Dios Te Bendiga.
I think you’re the best drummer I’ve ever heard in the world I’ve been playing the drums for about 30 years and today is the first day I’ve ever herd you play and I think you’re just awesome you’re just so good you have such rhythm you put everything together and it sounds wonderful Believe me when I tell you it sounds wonderful
Watching you play does 2 things. 1) Reminds me how much I suck. 2) Makes me feel like I can hop behind the kit and play this song first try because you make it look so simple Nice job!
Superb in every sense as always,with great production and sonority.Syncopated pattern flows over the song naturally and effortless.Tighten snare is a joy,thank you so mutch!
ihr Sound ist einfach umwerfend, da gibt es keine Frage. Die Art wie sie Schlagzeug spielen ist der absolute Wahnsinn. Die Komplexität ihres Rhythmus am Schlagzeug ist unübertroffen. In ihren Videos ist die Leidenschaft des Schlagzeug spielen omni präsent. Ihr Album gehört für mich zu den Besten der letzten Jahre. Ich hoffe es erscheint bald ein neues Album. Das war alles, hoffentlich gibt es noch viele Video mit den eigenen Liedern.
I don’t believe in ze thumbs down business. Artistically appreciation is important. Always thumbs up. This analogizes to a ceo who cannot go into a meeting without a secretary, partner, consultant (most companies do not even have such anymore) and ears to pause and praise (null hypothesis void). You never hear the pure intention without the buffer of bias. It’s deserving, yet not understandable (on my planet). Yet we cannot knock it. It’s just massively accepted and continues the raise the multiple to eps. What my bias craves is raw figures without other. I massively appreciate your efforts and follow through though madam. Ty.
Hi Anika, very nice inspiration with this groovy syncopated shuffle. Musical, dynamic but also innovative. Very good musicians indeed, the sound is on top as usual with you. Jonathan's bass is terrific.
You just made that look so easy! I LOVED IT! As a fellow drummer, that time signature was one of the best things I've ever heard. KEEP INSPIRING because you're inspiring!!!!
Wow, as a progressive rock fan, I must say this composition is already at first listen one of my favorite by you. Your drumming is, as always awe-inspiring. Great intensity and beautiful phrasing. Thank you.
Puh ha! Das ist mal cool. Ich wünschte ich würde nur die Sticks so elegant halten können wie Du. Danke für dieses wirklich tolle Video und den supercoolen Song! Dein Spiel hat wirklich hohen Wiedererkennungswert und eine unglaubliche Qualität. Fetten Respekt.
What's so mesmerizing about your playing is that while it's very technical, it's also so fuckin musical! Keep it up, dude. You're an inspiration to us all.
I've read a fair amount of critical comments in regard to drummers who use a negative cant angle on their cymbal setup. A lot suggesting this would lead to more broken cymbals... however, if you are drumming with proper technique, (I.E. hitting the cymbals at a reasonable power level with an oblique, glancing motion) it its not likely cause an increase in damage. I started to use this setup technique on one particular part of my kit and its been helpful. Don't be afraid to try new things!
LanceCampeau let's not forget that she is a pro drummer and is endorsed. Every musician has their personality and unique set-up. There is no wrong or right. The haters need to stop judging and focus on getting better.
Awesome!!! Another video that I can use to get my students pumped about playing drums!! So fluid, and yet strong...keep up the good work Anika!! You are inspiring the next generation!

You sound so great on acoustic drums, it's unreal. Thanks for all the drumming and the music. I hope you never have to play e-drums ever again.

I have respect for you Anika. You are a natural. Thank you for sharing your gift!
Strong and smooth...outstanding music

Nice job!
Exactly my thoughts :D Every single video from Anika makes me feel that I can make it too, but when I get to the chair... haha
Yup...she makes it look so effortless.
You'll never be good, if you think bad about yourself. Stop saying that you "suck". Get grip and keep going.
