Somebody needs to get Tal Wilkenfeld and Anika in a studio together for a jam session. The world really needs to hear the results of said jam session.

[@xTremeSequences]

I have to say Anika is becoming one of my favorite drummers. At 50 I don't say that lightly. Her musicality is refreshing with endless chops, thoughtful dynamics, and a style so unique.

QUEEN!!!!!!!

[@tomborgmann7095]

This isn't just drumming anymore. This is ART!

[@nelsonledoux4257]

It's a joy to watch you play Anika, but what is more impressive to me is your song writing. Your talent runs deep!

[@batnesislands]

Anika, you are awesome! Did Kenny Aronoff inspired you to set up your toms like his way when he was playing with John Cougar?

[@LanceCampeau]

You've just got to love that German precision...

[@timothydavis3348]

This girl is the new age Steve Gadd, her touch is so special.

[@Olivrodasemana-wt6re]

Anika is really incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@akmiec]

5 years later, this still puts a smile on my face every time i watch. simply incredible.

[@tomt.3089]

I love her, very inspirational, tight as hell, super technical chops, excellent execution! Don't forget the band they support her every move. Great composition! God bless the independant artists!

[@pastorjamesmckoy6869]

This young lady is my favorite drummer. She is underrated and I can tell there is a story behind her art. Her gift is such a blessing to me when I listen to her play.

[@paraescucharrap]

What I like about this drummer is that this is just good music. A good song. Not a cover nor any meme or exaggerated performance to catch the attention of people. Just a musician doing music. I am glad that work like this get's millions of views and not only the above-mentioned type of videos

[@flamingzen777]

Holy crap!!! That 7/8 timing you have is the definition of flawless, wow, freakin EPIC!!!

[@baconfromhell666]

I just love those dry cymbals. Great sound for this music.

[@JesseStevenPollom]

Wow just incredible. With so much amazing talent among a seemingly endless amount of drummers today, to find a drummer that plays so uniquely, yet still so familiarly is a true gem. From her dynamics to groove to flow to chops to pocket, amazing, wow just wow. And the tracks she uses are very special

[@rdavidr]

20 mins into cymbal tuner and chill and she gives you this look

[@jessesimon2824]

Anika, this is one of my favorite songs from you to date. Amazing drums, great dynamics, and story telling. Loved the different sections, and how they all flowed so well together. Well done!!!

[@user-op]

Это Anika , как всегда безупречно, как всегда ДРАЙВ, как всегда SUPER, браво маэстро !!!!!!
