Anika Nilles & Jost Nickel - drumtalk [episode 34]

thanks to Oliver Laux for filming and Tim Zahn for the live mix
During Musikmesse 2017 I met two excellent German groove drummers at the Marriott in Frankfurt: Jan Delay drummer Jost Nickel and solo artist Anika Nilles spent some time with me and we had an awesome doubletalk on the art of merging feeling, soul, simplicity and groove into the universally understandable language of drumming. Success, mistakes, teaching, the rights and wrongs were important topics as well as the ides that expressing oneself, making oneself understood as well as understanding others is something that has to be nurtured as much as the rudimental exercises.

Thanks Anika and Jost and the channel. It was kinda like a light bulb moment when Jost and Anika explained feeling like your feeling it has to be perfect and that the reality is that it will never be perfect and accepting the mistakes as part of it, learning from them and moving on. I think like Jost said, a lot of us drummers obsess about technique and complicated fills as well as overplaying, and we forget why we play. To have fun and not be stressed or worried about it. Being in the right frame of mind. Great drummers and great advice. Thanks again guys and gals :) lg aus NRW und bleib gesund.

Another fantastic video featuring two of the nicest and most humble drummers alive. Great job mixing in their playing with the interviews while maintaining excellent audio quality! Keep up the great work.

Anika was Jost ‘s student? Only drummers have the modesty to teach one another and than become each other equal.
