Exploring Quintuplets | Anika Nilles

[@joe4lfc4ever5]

I love how fluid she is with everything! Not just technically great but so smooth around the kit!!

[@bmanley01]

424 dislikes...what is to dislike? Tight, technical, fantastic coordination of hand/feet, great groove...she plays better than most prog drummers I have listened to.

[@RocketinExile]

how can anyone dislike this??? she's a staggering talent...

[@noahm.4001]

Good but absolutely not my taste of drumming. I really love Bernard Pretty Purdie and Steve Jordan..

[@austinlincoln3414]

You answered the question yourself my friend

[@farrex0]

Dunno, maybe they are contrarian people and they read your comment.

[@lbudt29]

MESMERIZING, she works hard at her rudiments, and put together interesting patterns telling a great picture story, like being on a journey. Thank you Anika, keep creating wonderful music. I like your choice of cymbals too, not too bright, but telling a softer, detailed ride and crash. Very nice.

[@erinsam7821]

My favourite part was when the lesson ended. Not because it ended, but because I knew I learnt something new and useful. Thank you Anika and the Drumeo Team behind all this.

[@erinsam7821]

+Erin Joe 1 month from now will be Christmas time. That lucky person will be receiving the cymbal as a Christmas gift! (he won't receive it right then, maybe a couple of weeks later, but you get the idea)

[@DrummaMan75]

Annika is the real deal. She is such a breath of fresh air. She doesn't use stupid grins to get views. Her playing speaks for it's self. Her playing has so much substance. Her explanations of quintuplets show how educated she is. And, she seems very humbled and dare I say surprised by all the attention she is getting. Bravo, Annika!

[@FrankXtreme76]

In my opinion, one of the best drummers ever! Her music is amazing!

[@intotheprog]

Guthrie Govan taught me to teach in five by repeating "Hippopotamus" (Yes, I am a guitarist who infiltrates drum channels). Great lesson!

[@CatsCoffeeGuitars]

Another one right here! :D I've learned a lot about rhythm and various patterns, even improved my own guitar playing, watching this drum tutorials/clinics! ^^

[@antonis958]

Antonio Leggieri first you are a musician then you are a drummer

[@taunokekkonen5733]

The Indian style of rhythmic singing helps also. Check 'konnakol'.

[@punksterbass]

In Brazil we teach it as "Copacabana"

[@rikbhattacharya8048]

Often when we see female drummers play..we stereotype them and question their credibility..the best part of the lesson was her breaking those sterotypes and exceeding our expectations by leaps and bounds by her drumming prowess..more power to you girl :)

[@anykmusic]

+Rik Bhattacharya thank you! That means a lot to me!!

[@rikbhattacharya8048]

+Rik Bhattacharya :) :) thanks for sharing your knowledge and completely blowing my mind away :)

[@peterpetrov7073]

+Anika Nilles You play like a girl! amazing

[@menteencoma]

+Rik Bhattacharya What are these stereotypes you talk about ??

[@crimsun7186]

+Rik Bhattacharya Because apparently, you missed Sheila E. and Cindy Blackman already doing that before Anika was even born, right?

[@motopolak]

This is the kind of stuff I most enjoy. I've always loved drumming alongside progressive, constantly shifting, weird time signature, uncommon patterns, you name it, music. And I can't get over how each song she plays in this lesson sounds so amazing. There are so many cool harmonies and sweet fills going on.... She is a very controlled player. Love it!

[@RAFSOUND1]

I love watching her play. My favorite new drummer. A melodic drummer.

[@davidorr5299]

I really like how Anika made quintuplets accessible to the novice drummer. She started very simply and made the application of them easy to understand. Thanks for r having her on Drumeo!

[@coreymyersdrums]

The groove at 22 min it's so good! That's my favorite part of the lesson! Anika rocks.

[@petarpavasovic6333]

+Corey Myers Heey dude, didn't expect you here!

[@8020drummer]

Watch her right foot guys. Killing.

[@rrkkmalone]

Man, I gotta tell ya, this woman is just OUTSTANDING!! Wow!!!! I've been playing for 35 years and love her style and GREAT FEEL!!! WOW!!! Just great!!!

[@jjpresley6878]

I like to use 1,e,&,a,ka. But I'm totally gonna start using 1,e,Anika. Great video!

[@guyhughes4185]

i use 1e&ao

[@emilsunter3596]

Very clever!

[@RolfWamFjell]

I liked the Exploring Quintuplets part especially at 21:50, as things kind of fell into place for me as to how "easily" one can utilize quintuplets in a groove-context. It kind of takes away the sting of trying to chronologically fit an odd number in any given pulse parameter. Once it´s contextualized in a groove, or a sticking orchestration - it becomes more instinctively comprehensible and doable, even for young drummers. GREAT!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@sunnyjangiti]

+Rolf Wam Fjell You are my one of favorite drummers. Thank you so much for leaving your comment on this drum lesson. We want your drum lessons too. Thanks!

[@nickdean8923]

My favourite part of the lesson was the improvisation over the quintuplet metronome. It sounded so natural yet fresh and new. Very inspiring Anika, thank you. You make me want to get practising!

[@sdustin7986]

She’s one of my very favorite drummers. Anika is doing things never before done on the drum set.

[@sdustin7986]

Anaka is German. German metal and industrial I think in her listening background.

[@dfmarion]

She’s so locked in and I love her style of tight playing. Really awesome!!

[@TheAlmonteFilms]

Holy shit yes I was waiting for that displacement the ENTIRE time in my head and finally got it at 4:55

[@pedrosizer904]

My favourite parte of the lesson was the the ghost note quintuplets. The lesson was great! Definitely gonna try this!

[@DrumeoOfficial]

+Pedro Sizer - Congratulations, Pedro! You were chosen to receive the 10" Meinl Byzance Extra Dry Splash cymbal signed by Anika! Please message me at [e-mail] to claim your prize. :)

[@MikesMusicAndComics]

So proud of Anika. She´s one of these ladys who are driving the silent change in the industry.

[@DrumeoOfficial]

+ChrisGardner Drums - Give it another go!

[@AshleyGalvan]

These were my favorite parts of the lesson: :) •Takadimidi (in place of university) •Her being willing to do the lesson & have a smile on her face & excitement for the lesson even after her crazy day of travel! She was probably tired. •in the very beginning (the live recording) where she broke the connection cuz she's so awesome & had to restart the song lol :) •watching her solo & perfectly embellish her tracks. She's super inspiring for me as a female drummer. Can't wait to start my first lesson with her in a couple days!! +Drumeo

[@DrumeoOfficial]

+Ashley Galvan - Awesome comment, Ashley. Thank you very much! We're so happy you enjoyed the lesson.

[@edpopereira1767]

+Drumeo drumheads which model you are using snare and tom tom?

[@sarahbearse3872]

+Drumeo My favorite part was the description of the quintuplets. I love how she explained her curiosity on the subdivision and committed herself to find all the embedded patterns inside those 5 notes. It's something we COULD all do, but few have spent the time and self discipline to make it sound so natural. I also enjoyed that she teaches this concept to her young students - of course they pick it up as naturally as sixteenth notes! HUGE thanks for the lesson!

[@chaosfruitbat5970]

I suddenly want to start playing again!

[@syyhq]

+Andy Coumbe you should!

[@TheWitchOvAgnesi]

+Aenima Seriously, nothing short of a coma would keep me from playing. OK, maybe prison...

[@syyhq]

Like matt garstka said drumming is a journey...

[@syyhq]

Yes m8! were all different and have a different sound.. ;)

[@feliximbriano1855]

Tremendous phantom notes. I love this woman! Great Lesson!

[@truefilm1556]

Flawless and awesome as always! Anika is from Aschaffenburg , just a few miles away from my home town Frankfurt. Being a musician myself (mainly piano), living outside my home country, I heard over and over again: "..and I thought you Germans got no rhythm". Well some of us do ;-) You go girl!

[@rubyreddrums]

My favourite part of the lesson was having a compatriot from Germany on Drumeo, showing why she’s having so much success right now!

[@rubyreddrums]

+xbreakdownxdrummerx (Also, that drum sound, UNGH)

[@judsonl8990]

My favorite part of the lesson was definitely "Wild Boy". Some of the fills in that song are mind-blowing! Nice job Anika.

[@randarmax]

No doubt. If I closed my eyes I am sure I could have heard Gavin Harrison of Porcupine Tree. And I love the cymbals, or at least her ability to make them sound awesome. It's not about the look, but the sound.

[@judsonl8990]

+Randall M I love the way those cymbals look and sound. Also, she's got such fast and controlled hands.

[@scartabellomusic]

QUEENTUPLET!!! Just picked up her pad book! Excited to dig in! What a great player! Thanks Anika!!

[@philesq9595]

I really love the stylised etchings on the cymbals. The kit is like a piece of art and it doesn't sacrifice sound. Really cool that she customized her setup with middle eastern flair.

[@TroyWright]

25:20... heart eyes emoji

[@senorbone13]

+Troy Wright I like that you still watch drum videos.

[@ivanlostthreads1356]

+Troy Wright hehehe

[@ManguEry]

Why did you like that part? Can't figure it out lol

[@tjdh34]

+Ery Ren polyrhythm?

[@BOOM8883]

+Ery Ren Because its an awesome basic idea for playing a quintuplet groove that can be expanded on alot. Im gonna take this one to the kit right now, thanks for the heads up troy :3

[@BobCropsey]

I just watched the entire video and she hurt my head so bad, I'm going to sleep. Way beyond my ability.

[@IsawUupThere]

The first time I learned that quintuplets were a thing was when I bought Garry Chaffe's Sticking Patterns in 1998. I feel like I'm slowly getting the hang of it. Oh here's something that might actually help: Zombi Woof. The quintuplet unisono 5 seconds in is so unique that that's what I thought about every time I played quinutplets for years. Also even tho I'm relatively ok with quintuplets, nobody I have ever played with is, so that's something that stayed in the practice room.

[@rt1152]

Bob Cropsey coward

[@johnmeyers8656]

IsawUupThere

[@TheRadrussian1]

someone doesnt practice enough.

[@tomschmier9427]

You can do it bro!

[@iLiekLemonade]

The intro was fantastic, I'm a fan of her drumming style!

[@465marko]

She is really good. People pretend that it doesn't matter what gender you are, and there's no reason to point out her gender, but that's rubbish. People DO treat female drummers differently, either in positive or negative ways - eg. Often, people are *amazed* by a female drummer, who's average at best. Maybe it's just because there are more male drummers out there, who knows. Anyway, this woman is definitely one of the best female players I've ever seen.

[@wieslawirzyniec4527]

to hell with gender, her cymbal technique is amazing.

[@465marko]

Wieslaw Irzyniec for a girl

[@tiyenin]

465marko Shh. Her grip is loose, and that right pinky likes to come off the stick. Her style is great; it's just such a shame when technique doesn't match.

[@CatsCoffeeGuitars]

She's probably my favorite female drummer :D I've heard a handful of them and Anika's style sticks right out of the crowd, really amazed and inspired by this womans playing.

[@nicholastazza2798]

She is a great drummer, period. She rushes a bit, but that has nothing to do with her gender.

[@jeroensimons7525]

Respect for her!! I remembered marco minnemann did a quintuplet section in his golden dolphin song from 1998...Cheers, Jeroen Simons(Independent, Epica)

[@RogierRJDonker]

Hey! A great dutch player. Groove on!

[@my31and37]

She's great, and the cymbals sound incredible!..

[@larrytate1657]

Buy used if you have to. With drum gear it's better to have good used stuff than shitty brand new stuff imho.

[@my31and37]

+Larry Tate true....I think most of the hardware in my 3 kits is used. Buy quality cymbals, shells and hardware and they will last....and sound better!

[@juditmlnr]

+my31and37 I just saw those cymbals and fell insantly in love :D

[@himalayanpioneer7992]

+Judit Molnár-Tuovinen Do you play the drums?

[@juditmlnr]

Sam Daliya​ I'm just an aspiring one. Can't afford investing in a drumkit. So I just mainly remain an enthusiast. Hopefully one day I can follow this calling :D 

[@djohnnyemaus]

Just have to say, been watching drumeo for years. Anika, Eric Moore and Thomas L. are my favorites! Love you guys!

[@7StringSeven]

All the cymbals and the Hi-hat SOUNDS SO GOD DAMN GOOD! I only started drums 2.5 months ago but I'm addicted to these videos...

[@74drummergirl]

She is an inspiration to me as a female drummer. I will be saving this in my favorites and looking at her other videos too. Thanks!

[@bikeerajkarnikar4239]

Different sticking in hi-hat 25:30 to 26:45 good stuff to learn ;) nt forgeting Takadimidi "in place of university" ... inspiring female drummer on my list ... best part 35:27 - “Queenz” .Love to learn more abt quintuplets in days to come ... thanx +Drumeo +Anika Nilles

[@donkalil4853]

Love the fact that Drumeo supports the excellent female drummers out there! Ms. Nilles is certainly one of the finest drummers I've listened to. Her technical competency and feel for the music is just wonderful to hear!

[@Danfromoverthere]

This entire video was not only a lesson but an experience. Anika is so smooth and flawless man I can watch this over and over

[@tasbrock]

Thank you for showing more of her foot work! Confirmed what I thought I was hearing from her videos.

[@TheAtb85]

Anika at a bar: Splash me a Martini please. How do you like it? Extra dry.

[@vaughanxaviermusic]

Her drums sounds amazing!

[@Kung_Fu_Jesus]

Awesome playing, she kicks ass and you can tell she embodies the spirit of drumming wholly.

[@michellezito5542]

Excellent ideas and execution! As an 'old school' drummer myself, it's refreshing to learn new stuff. While I'm not sure how often I'd get to use quintuplets as such in my line of work, I must incorporate this into my bag of tricks, for the pure fun if nothing else! I learned some cool stuff here.Brilliant!

[@matenorth]

PLEASE INVITE JAY POSTONES of TesseracT!!!! I BEG YOU!!!!!!!

[@Gamebred-Nightmare]

+matenorth sall Or Anup Sastry!

[@gabslefloch755]

[@thalldrums]

+matenorth sall Yes please!!! He could do some awesome lessons on polyrhythms/overriding/utilizing ghost notes etc etc Love this guy :)

[@Clintti]

Awesome drummer and extremely inspiring technique. I´m taking this to part of my own drumming.

[@vincentmessina6827]

I would have to say that I was by impressed how Anika presented herself during the lesson. She takes the time to make sure you understand how she develop her grooves. She has mastered her craft and is very willing to share her experience with anyone who needs a demo. This lesson on quintuplets demonstrated how you could bury the triplet inside the quintuplets and creates a second sizzling groove independently while maintaining the entire scenario that she was demonstrating. I look forward to her next lesson. Thank you, Vini Messina (drum lover since age 7)

[@gustavlundin1920]

That hihat is GLORIOUS!... So is she!

[@milia9236]

I loved this so much. Learning how to lay drums is one of my biggest dreams since I'm little kid. I'm 16 and I don't know if someday I'm going to do it... but I hope so!

[@joachimsingh2929]

Go for it kid. Friends come and go but that skill Will be with you and never be a waste of Rome No matter what People say to you. Start saving. Get a small job! You can do it kid

[@Averagechurchdrummer]

Freakin love this lesson! I haven't heard grooves that made me smile that hard in a long time!

[@1truthinc.]

How fantastic! Anika combines great technical skill with outstanding feel and musicality. She and T.Lang really are pushing the envelope of the possible within the confines of the instrument!

[@musictechnique]

Watching her play is inspiring. What a fantastic talent she is. Just great stuff. Such a great influence for girls/women who want to get into music and feel it's male dominated. Bravo.

[@Gingerbearded]

My favourite part of the lesson was Jared's beard. LOL j/k, I really liked the quintuplets part from the lesson because I learned something from it. Also, I wouldn't mind getting a signed splash. ^___^

[@DrumeoOfficial]

+Ivo Petrovski - Can we trade beards?

[@maartenvalentin4162]

+Drumeo "Only if you use the signed splash as leverage"

[@Gingerbearded]

+Drumeo Well it depends. What do you offer in exchange? 8-)

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

+Ivo Petrovski probably just his current beard ( which is pretty cool ), but maybe he'll throw in a snare drum or something.

[@MaximeCholley]

The song she's talking about at 23:52 is "Still Play" from Kneebody. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJjcZot3rsaWfZI Nate Wood on drums.

[@musicgaines7170]

thank you

[@afifthofthemyth]

This video has been hugely helpful and informational on grooves, fills, and song composition. 5's, 7's, and 9's have been the missing link for my fills to create more tension and musicality. I have always felt intimidated by trying to utilize odd subdivisions in practical applications within a band setting but now feel that I'm ready having played kit for 25 years now. This video couldn't have crossed my path at a better time. Thank you guys. Anika, you are an amazing drummer, musician, and song writer!

[@davidabair2280]

Anika, at this moment, is my favorite drum teacher! Thank you so much!!!

[@wmdrums]

Got tons from this lesson!

[@ChrisPhoenixMusic]

55:25 My favorite part.

[@jcmusco]

She truly loves her craft and she is great at it. Wow what timing, great drummer

[@fathead1616]

So cool! The use and mastery of the quintuplets gives Anika such a unique and defining sound. Makes her sound different than any drummer I've heard. Genius!

[@ericdappen5893]

I want that drum set so god damn bad

[@Irehardt]

You're Not Alone My Friend.... You're Not Alone....

[@frosty327]

she has changed it again lol She has her extra snare on the right between her rack tom and floor tom. very different

[@crimsun7186]

Larnell Lewis does it as well.

[@timothylogan2252]

+Sean Raden 2

[@jimbeaux89]

Eric Dappen I want those drum skills so damn bad hah

[@privacyIsKing]

There are no female drummers...there are drummers. I would not count Annika as an "inspiration" in the sense that I don't want to play like her, but she is definitely a role model and maybe some of her ideas work for me; for example, I switched the order of my toms after her explanation as to why her trapset is that way. My point is...it has nothing to do with wether she is a woman or a man, she is a great drummer! And I aspire to become better each day and become the dummer that I need; since I'm the only member of my band. I play bass, guitar, drums, violin, vocalist, I can also play keys and I have to record and produce myself since no studio in my area is worth a dime and they are expensive. Anyways, Annika! Great drummer :3

[@sideoutside]

She's so great you can't even spell her name right.. Best female drummer!

[@AotearoaMetalhead]

this is the most inspirational drumeo video I've ever seen

[@bjs1130]

One of the GREATEST Openings of all time on Drumeo!! Great Tune!! WOW!! I am going to listen to it again and again!! Cheers Anika!

[@nicksdrumming4944]

I like what she did with the layout of the Toms. That must provide some interesting sounding fills!

[@noblych9953]

Nick's Drumming i did it once but didnt realy like it.

[@DanMowry]

I agree. I hit a point where I was doing a lot of same-ol-same-ol tom fills. I have 4 up and 2 down and everything started to just sound boring and muscle memory was making it worse. I moved my 16" floor tom over to my left-side by hi-hat, and took the #4 rack and put it first and it really helped me get out of my rut. Same efforts produced more interesting fills and tripped up the muscle memory that was working against me.

[@gadgetcoder]

She is not the only one who does that...Marco Minnemann (also form Germany) does it; and so does Kenny Aronoff

[@romelthomas6973]

PERFECTIONIST...LOVE IT!!!!

[@mandubien]

What a great groove maestro we've got here ! Totally in love with her skills !

[@HiVisl]

What an excellent drummer! Really loved watching her mad skills.

[@RandallFriedman]

[@santtusalminen2601]

I've been playing drums on/off for 10 years and just recently found your channel. This has been very helpful since I'm pretty much on my own right now to make progress with this instrument... and believe me it hasn't been the most motivating times. These lessons help me keep going and learn new stuff. I kinda feel the drive of progression again. Really good work, thankful admiration from Finland!

[@vycegripp8202]

There are no words to describe this level of skill.

[@skyline1219]

My favourite part is from 0:00 to 56:17

[@prettynoose8497]

I don't know why youtube promotes Meytal so much. Anika is clearly a far better drummer!

[@nzbradmorgan]

Totally agree. My mates would go on and on about Meytal's drumming. I'd point them in the direction of Anika and they are floored by her skill and how effortless she floats around the kit. One of my favourites for sure.

[@enayetkhan9397]

tits and smile. just sad.

[@MegaVince09]

They completely different drummers Anika is new age and completely original, Meytal is heavy metal mostly and musically educated, in LA music academy as a matter of fact that is why she covers songs so perfectly.

[@Emmanuelmatu]

I bet Meytal would totally have a hard time playing this groove.

[@grantolson7200]

I used to be subbed to meytal... Then I heard Troy wright, Luke holland and other actually good drummers and realized the only thing she had going for her were the looks

[@vitkirunemaster9239]

I am so proud that Drumeo is from Abbotsford British Columbia Canada and many of the drum teachers are working musicians from the Greater Vancouver area. There are tons of free videos to practice to and the cost of joining is reasonable, especially considering the quality of teaching and the amount of videos (one a day)

[@prolific9002]

my favorite part is when Anika plays the drums. Anika is awesome!

[@colombiank]

Been waiting a while for Anika to pop up!! Favourite part is seeing how she incorporates ghost notes in accordance to what the singles ask for, great intuition for rudiments that aren´t soo easy to understand....beast in her genre.

[@Cockraine]

My favorite part is your passion for the instrument. You absolutly glow behind the set. Thank you for sharing, Anika Nilles :)

[@Kik_Hat_Sne]

im glad she mentioned kneebody. Nate Wood is one beast of a drummer. And so is Anika :D

[@Kik_Hat_Sne]

+Munkiee Braynez Jared, Maybe you could also invite Nate Wood to your studios to record a lesson :D That'd be great.

The song she talks about is Still Play by Kneebody.

[@kl7360]

+graduator14 We need more great drummers regardless of gender. Who cares what's in your pants when you can play this well?

[@enersha]

34:00 she switches to septuplets?? thats cray

[@pedders69]

I love the Anika Nilles videos, She has a great technique and seems to come up with something different to the norm, which is great to study, and She makes you think about things in a different way, especially in the odd time signatures. She is indeed a top drummer...

[@alexgalexg3425]

This has been awe inspiring. Anika is one of the greats. Amazing

[@SimonB.]

i wish i had a room to play my drumset -.- havent played for a year now

Shes Really Great, not Good, Great

[@hugorezende199]

Just.. Jaw dropped

[@johnthomas479]

Nice Job Anika! You are a very very fine drummer! With this extensive lesson in quintuplets someone said he was counting them as 1-e-an-ik-a. I think I will do that as well, it fits very nicely and it is a good tribute to a fine drummer who has spent the majority of this lesson on showing us all about the use of quintuplets. Frank Zappa made use of quintuplets quite often. His song "Zombie Woof" is a great example. There are quintuplets written in for the entire band throughout the piece. Also, Peaches en Regalia, and many other Zappa tunes. Thanks again Anika.

[@KidsTalkRadio]

Thank you for being such a great inspirations. Do what you can to keep jazz alive. We need more young people.
