This is the exact course I've been looking for. Signing up today!

[@BenedictusEsDomine]

I’m not usually big into fabricated fills, but this is super cool. Super hip and melodic. Awesome signature lick, Anika!

[@beagnimitra]

Wow thanks for this lesson!! Just love the dynamics she has whenever she is playing 💫🙏🏻

[@90dahveed09]

came from the stutter snd extend lesson and IMMEDIATLEY understood everything she was mentioning. nice

[@JPBouvet]

That’s awesome to hear. You’ll keep seeing it everywhere now!

[@wdjmo]

So slick. After watching your lesson about stuttering and extending rudiments, that first 4 and 2 part makes a lot more sense too - she’s stuttering the RL of RLLK and it really clicks.

[@JPBouvet]

Dude, EXACTLY! It’s one of the primary melodic strategies of so many drummers

6:38 😂🙌

[@portal432]

she seriously started playing at 26? so there is hope for me at 38?

[@VIZUKAEOOD]

She started playing at the age of 5. Her father was a drummer. At 26 she started to study drums at a college, before she was a kindergarden teacher.

[@mexicanstorm]

there's hope

[@canadiandrummer]

Love chops WITH groove. That's Gadd, Vinnie, Chambers, etc. Chops without groove is redundant, a waste of listening time and boring AF unless purely as an exercise. These two drummers have chops and more importantly, a deep sense of groove, to spare.
