I'm a 70 yr. old man Back in the day I played 22 yrs. drums Played mostly C/W and swing music I would never be this good in my wildest dreams She is fantastic so smooth and relaxed full control at all times

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

So glad you dug it James!

[@tortillasarenotbiceps7622]

She may just be my fave female drummer. She's so in tune with every instrument it's ridiculous. I actually have a couple of her tunes in my iPod. LOVE this lady.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

She is fantastic

[@roguecheddar]

They were all having such a good time, because they were all playing for the music and each other, and not just for themselves. That's when magic can happen.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

🙌

[@craigstrickland1572]

Anika can lay it down too. Those edits when they shifted into "Africa" had me rolling.

[@tr_vmi4844]

She's amazing...the whole band was fantastic.

[@trafalgerdavis7839]

She's a great drummer, musician and composer. Man, it would be fun to be able to play in a studio like that.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes she's the total package!

[@eriktred2621]

Hi everyone, I'm a drummer, I'm 40 and I started playing drums at the age of 14. Today I keep with me the passion for every element that produces a sound, and that is musical, in the world of music production. Anika is simply phenomenal, her approach seems seemingly fluid, but she knows how to be effective and fully musical at the same time, in addition to full control of every part of the songs, even in odd metrics, of the movement and in full respect of the dynamics. Personally, I fully share and approve of this musical mentality, moreover I will never stop reiterating that study is important to grow, just as comparison is important to understand better. Study, Play Something, Create and Stay Splash!

[@aegirmeingott]

long ago i felt in love with the guitar. i guess for an amateur i’ m quite good. then i bought a roland e-drums. since then i always asked myself, why didn’t i started it a hundred years ago. drumming is so much fun. but anika is of an other planet. she knows exactly the partiture, great. so my tears would longly be there after the parture of jb when i see her with him.

[@declangallagher5075]

Thank you for introducing me to these incredable drummer, she is fantastic, those Tom fills, the Picaro tribute.. Fan f.. Ing.. Tastic🤘👏👏😎🥁

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes Declan!!!

[@robgas7507]

Tight pockets on transitions, she’s nailing all of it!!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes Rob!

[@douglascoss3702]

In the groove man, in the groove. Loved it.Anika is a fantastic drummer.

[@Jdman5150]

This has to be your best reaction..."No!!" and then walks away...hilarious!!!!!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

🤣🤣👌 This is sooooo good

[@clarkwagaman]

Best yet!! Thanks Andrew .. Love your channel... 🤣🤣😁👍🤙

[@MichaelRCarlson]

Ahhh she's just so so smooth! And mega hats off to her for working so dang hard to earn these gigs where the drums can really shine, that's rare and not easy!!

[@denveradams4909]

It is soooo nice to listen to and watch musicians who actually know what music is all about. Most of today's music is developed around hip-hop and generic night club atmosphere. It is heartless and without soul. Honestly, it takes very little talent because most of it is just manipulating electronics. Anika Nilles and Nevell remind me of the Prog/Rock band, Genesis; which I renamed the genre as, "Precision Rock". Magic happens, when VERY talented musicians get together and pour their heart and soul into their music. Tragically, we see less and less of this as we are overcome by a society who demands instant gratification without the hard work that goes into producing musical compositions like this. I hope we can see more of these videos, as I prefer to fully immerse myself into the music I listen to. Bravo!

[@BaconIsNotBiceps]

Apart from simply analyzing drummers, Anika's entire band is absolutely amazing...AND they play GREAT music to boot. She, and they, is/are one of my all-time favorites.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup needs a great band for sure

[@derek5168]

It's because she has a musical ear of course explains why she's one of the best going around

[@phildupuis1084]

Everything about this is amazing...the song, the performances, the production. To me what makes a session like this is the ability of musicians to musically communicate to each other in that indescribable and yet magical way

[@michaelb.42112]

Another great video pick from the GREATEST subscribers on KZbin, Andrew !

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Seriously Michael!!

[@garygraham2513]

Years ago, I operated heavy equipment for a living. The 2 best operators I Ever worked with were women. Hands down! They have more "feeling"! I'm starting to think that the same holds true when it comes to drummers. Again, so fluid!

[@nandopolesel]

I had the pleasure of seeing her live in Vancouver at the Drumeo Festival, she is deadly

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup she sure is!

[@brookehornback1896]

Ha ha!No you didn't with the metronome joke.😆Yes they did!!they went right on into Africa.Sweet lil" surprise!My! my! my!All around GREATNESS!!Thanks for your awesomeness!More please!😁💛✌

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

SOOOOOO good Brooke!

[@ThomasEJensen_TEJ]

The entire audience is wearing ear phones . That's confidence on a high level.🤘🤘

[@connyschilling4199]

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nathanmcintyre694]

Love this. This music is beautiful.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup agree man. Just super stuff

[@do8671]

[@papacarl2002]

🙏🏼Andrew! Loved this🤘🏼Most Excellent🤘🏼video - you’re killing it with all the clips & snippets- {🛗Antonio Carlos Jobim!} so much fun. And oh yeah, you’ve got great insight into the drumming and musician interactions. And hot damn aren’t these LBB short films (yes 🎥 !) freakin’ amazing. Just subscribed to their channel and now I must find more Anika!!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I love everything about this comment. Everything. Thank you!

[@jeoffjungbauer8767]

Jeff Porcaro is Anika's all-time biggest influence too!!! FYI...

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Oh wow Jeoff! He's my #1 all time drummer too :)

[@thehannomeiring]

you had me at metrognome

[@Iamadrummer]

I been playing drums for over 35 years and I could only dream To be able to play that good.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

So slick Jeff!

[@Ddeamorin]

I missed this one , I love Anika this track is just too clean.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

This blew my mind Dave

[@Ecstanol]

Huge fan of hers. Insane drummer!

[@mattphelps3718]

Best react video OF👏 THE👏YEAR👏 Mr. Rooney! 👏👏👏 What a performance by the entire Little Big Beat ensemble! Wow! This made my night!. As for your question??... one word... POCKET.

[@peabow1031]

That's tasty nice pick there Sir Rooney enjoyed it 👌👍

[@wolframreactor74]

Andrew has the “ I can name that tune in 3 bars” moment

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

That one got me Mark!

[@papettoutcourt8483]

Je me souviens encore d’Anika jouant avec Jeff Beck. Elle faisait oublier Simon, Vinnie et tant d’autres.

[@andreaslundin7935]

Wow she's in another league! Well - pocket, time.. and feels like she's got more to give =) And yeah I herd the gnome-joke - dad points 8/10 :P

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Haha! Excellent Andreas

[@ratamacueseven]

you sir and Joshua Crawford are Hugely # 1 Drum Reactors !!!! Absolutely enjoy your video's sir ! Immensely... Thank you sir for your Time and Energy !

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks for watching John!

[@mdwolf72]

Totally unrelated, but Mario Duplantier dropped his 2021 solo! And damn, is it Mario-y.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Oh I may have done it. I've done a few of his great solos

[@mdwolf72]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums New one is called "Cyclone". Love the videos, cheers!

[@SockerConny80]

Jeff Porcaro is on my top 10 for sure and always will be even though it's constantly changing and has no clear hierarchy. Also the half time shuffle is probably my favorite groove and always a part of my warm up. Playing the half time shuffle in odd time signatures is a guilty pleasure of mine.

[@hugeackman7524]

Anika is ridiculous. Just too many great musicians out there any more

[@jrex9199]

Amazing!

[@kackbratze6630]

Just by the way. She is currently touring through europe and the usa with a legend. just by the way.

[@MarcusKing]

Getting up and walking away is the only reaction to them slipping in Africa like that 🥲

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

HAHA Yup!

[@Mike500]

Nice one! BTW, i'm 100% sure the idea for the "Africa" hommage came right from Anika. She mentioned that listening to "Rosanna" left a big impression on her when she was young, the shuffle with a lot of ghost notes on the snare, not unlike her own playing style now. By the way, the Rosanna groove seems to be loosely based on "Home at last" by Steely Dan (1977), played by Bernard Purdie. But i guess with enough knowledge, you could trace anything back to something that came before it, hehe... anyway, i love her playing style, her use of ghost notes is unreal, so she in turn becomes an inspiration to drummers like me!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Great comments Mike! Thanks for the info

[@andyk2607]

Hey Andrew, I highly recommend reacting to Evgeny Novikov's drum play though of 'baba yaga' by Slaughter to Prevail

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks bro!!! Don't be afraid to remind me if I forget :) I'm slowly getting on top of the requests

[@drumsrox]

When you said it sounds like Africa it was over..😂😂

[@Silentghos]

🤯🤯🤯

[@borysboryck6579]

Anika is a beast. Good pick.

[@roguecheddar]

All roads lead to Toto, as it were.

[@danielfrank8982]

"female Gavin"😉 ...nice!👍👍👍

[@hawklee9702]

Why happy? Simple, the hot chick drummer has got it and is fearless about throwing it down. She has her shit together.

[@deejaegirard966]

Haha you have a drummer crush on Anika don't you!? ✌🏽👽👍🏽

[@1Lovebird1]

Kinda interested in knowing about your top student and can we see him or her play?

[@jespersommer6369]

I get U 👌👌👌👌 iam in love 😃

[@Dantr42]

"NO..!" 😂

[@FanaticDrummer]

Its all in the wrists and hands. Anika plays like a drummer, not a “female drummer”. When you see most female drummers, there is a noticeable technique difference in the hands. But her and Senri just play, their limbs move so fluid and dont look stiff at the elbow and wrist. Thats why people just look at her like a drummer. She doesnt have to be marketed as a “female drummer”.

[@tristantheuerkorn5124]

I would add Kanade Sato and Junna in that respect.

[@jeoffjungbauer8767]

Check out this song if you have a chance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnbCdp6nn5JrlcU It is a beautiful song all in septuplets, hence the name "Smooth 7". There is also another version online with her band Nevell.

[@antonioferreira842]

The bassist smiled because he just fart it, and no one noticed. I think it's obvious

[@reginamusche6135]

The Mallay Video of Anika is still better

[@wolframreactor74]

The rhythm section usually had mad respect for one another…. But you have to earn it… you can’t just throw triple flam fills out of the blue . Y’all are a bunch of pennies, nickels and quarters riding in the same pocket….

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Love it!!!

[@stephanevilleneuve9450]

The production of your videos is always very funny. Good drummer too by the way, but I can’t stand the keyboard melody’s of the first 2-3 minutes.

[@americanidiot5563]

Can you react to Claus Hessler? He's her cousin and also an amazing drummer!

[@loud7070]

Love Anika! She kills no matter what the type of music, her agility is second to none.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes Lou!
