[@GrooveIsNow]

1:40 Guh Dang! You never disappoint Anika! I always have to watch your videos multiple times to absorb everything in. Fabulous!

[@sergiozdrums]

AMAZING PERFORMANCE ANIKA!!! AND THE TRACK BY kAZ ... KILLER!!!!

[@seamdayz]

Kaz makes some of the grooviest tracks to jam to! Anika forever killing it! Soooooo good! It sounds just like something anika would produce herself too! They need to do more collabs!

[@cknewhouse4912]

You are the best drummer male or female I have ever heard..my dream is to see you live in person one day..I could watch you 24hrs a day..so friggin impressive..

[@archibaldikowski3646]

[@archibaldikowski3646]

archi baldikowski ok, just heard it for the like 50th time and got goosebumps and its not even 8am... XD

[@GSA_Drums]

Would Love to See Benny greb and Anika Jamming together :D

[@VioletAOP416]

Recipricateable Honestly I would pay every last dime I have to see that. Granted, I have 3 dollars to my name at the moment so that's not much.

[@jordonbellondrums]

5 years later this is still one of my favorite videos

[@giant1band455]

Currently my favorite drummer on our planet.

[@silenttool]

She is just a freakin' awesome drummer, just amazing...great track to!

[@funklover24]

Unbelievable ... so phantastic drumming and great music

[@japaobatera4476]

bicho quando vejo essa mulher tocando da vontade de estudar mais ainda!!!

[@tchawkins05]

Can't but help but bang my head at 1:02 every time. So good.

[@impulsivedesigns]

I wish I had heard this back in August when it first came out. I'd have listened to it a hundred times by now. It's a pretty righteous jam. lol

[@HinnerkHesse]

I like her unique accents. Really nice to watch her playing with these cymbals, especially her stacks.

[@mjcarrasquillo]

3:56 KNOW that feeling Anika...been there (that sigh at the end). ;-) It still came off 100% kick ass, so no worries! You got back in just fine...you know what I mean. Never let 'em see you sweat (not meaning literally).

[@berrykeen3624]

I just so nice to see u play. Anika

[@bashwhack]

every little thing she does is magic ...

[@truefilm1556]

...and a thousand rainy days... Yep: the beginning.

[@FacadeDrummer22]

Her playing feels so natural, sometimes playing behind the beat, sometimes ahead. Classic.

[@astronaut2005drummer]

Amazing!!!

[@VegasYouTuberSteve]

Um, you rock honey.. Your grooves are outstanding

[@jessebowles5632]

Her style is great. Relaxed, in the pocket and mixing up the time sigz. The selection of cymbals should be noted as well. The dry crashes and the stackers go together so well. I look forward to anymore of her drumming in the future.

[@Sevaniod]

Anika Nilles - First woman on drums I impressed so much!)

[@wildanS]

+Sevaniod No offense, mate, but I can hardly imagine Anika being impressed by you.

[@StartdrummingDe]

Klasse Musik, KLASSE DRUMMING! :-)

[@bdrumr4ever]

EXTRAORDINARY TIMING.

[@fran991213]

super hard to count !

[@febinmjacob]

Ohhh what a track🔥 osm playing 🔥

[@RodrigoTPHS]

She's great

[@rosereisbatera593]

Vc é incrível toopp

[@kersilldrums]

The sound of the main snare though.

[@zackdoom]

That's a big snare

[@bohdaaanek]

***** well it should be Phat Bob and it is 14x8 inches so yes, it is a big snare drum, so the height doesn't matter...

[@MaNeuDrums]

is this Playalong track available on the internet ?

[@akurocknroll9084]

Anika 👍

[@SICRoosterKido]

Cool :)

[@spacegaiden]

funked me up!

[@ethanpardo5707]

Shit, that fill at 1:40...

[@flyingplantsinspace]

1:38 nice

[@duewestpress7292]

1:40 ... whoa

[@AranPolearmed]

Can someone please tell me what type of snare shes using? and if that outer ring on the snare is an accessory or part of it? thanks!

[@ChipsNeeson]

It is a wooden counter hoop on a Black Panther snare.

[@leandro5221]

si tuviese la posibilidad, me caso con anika de una sin pensarlo dos veces!

[@samueldavid4860]

La mejor*

[@JoelFilizzola]

Ricardo Bianchi Rojas

[@baansalprasanjit]

Why cant I hear the ride? :-/

[@truefilm1556]

Yep! Old problem: low mounted ride and just a pair of overheads. Well I never mic a drum kit that way: all drums (and the hi hats, perhaps X-hats also) have individual mics but the cymbals don't, just overheads placed to have as few phase issues as possible - nothing you can do in the mix later about the cymbals without messing up your stereo image big time. Add a darn pencil condenser to the ride and check your phase: solved.

[@jeferssondelarosa8654]

As we would say in Spanish: LA MAMÁ DANDO PALO Y PALO

[@JoelFilizzola]

Eduardo Navas Daniel Garcia Alejandro Martinez

[@onthe1481]

Music too loud drowning out her out

[@laiftaim]

...Why she setting cymbals like this? It looks not so good...

[@DuNordavind]

Snowy City Because it works for her would be my guess. Visual appeal shouldn't ever be the primary focus of cymbal placement.

[@PNW_Sportbike_Life]

sure, I can't do 'em, but those fast linear fills turn this performance into a wank-fest:(

[@BrandonGebbia]

Nice girl! But your toms are horrible.
