[@Rockin_Ross]

She’s in my top 3 of modern, working drummers. Very humble and straight forward about her craft. Tama was wise to sign her on.

[@thepluggy1]

Very true, she has a great style, very unique.

Cobb the Drummer?

Great drumming. Great sounding drums. And excellent recording

[@jacobsmith1877]

She plays the way I would play if I was good at drums. I love her style and dynamic control

She plays so soulfully, It makes you wanna buy the drumkit instantly.

[@Samford404]

Yeah but get a guy that knows how to mix as well or it ain't sounding close to that.

[@bebobalula]

She just got a new kit from Tama. I saw it on Facebook the other day, wow! 🥁🥁🥁

[@roberteski4764]

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT ANIKA: ONE OF MY FAVORITE DRUMMERS. - Rob in Yautepec, Mexico.

[@jaynitrophoto]

So glad another one of my favorite drummers, plays the brand I play. Those ghost notes, are to die for.

[@tristantheuerkorn777]

Super Musik! - macht unheimlich Spaß die zu hören.

[@Sundaydrumday]

She is an absolute stud, I do not care if it is in poor taste in 2023, she is sexy, confident, and moves around the kit so damn well, so smooth, I love it!!

[@EdenPorterMusic]

Wish we could have heard more of the snare/tom in the mix and in the playing!

[@dealzor5920]

This is Insane!!! Love the sound of the cymbals (esp the stack) and the groove is unreal! Only thing is I'd love a bit more snare and toms? They seem to get lost in the mix a bit. Otherwise, fantastic!!!

[@DarrinDinsbach]

Very groovy performance! I like!!

[@tomsblood1]

OK, jeez that's good. Kit amazing, Anika drumming it, just nailed it. Beautiful. Love the snare, not tunned high.

[@nik_in_the_box]

Great sounding kit

[@Garage-1881]

Anika needs more credit. Girl has power, speed, dynamics, articulations, and more over control that equals her creativity. Easily one of the best drummers around these days.

[@malcolmlarri9073]

you are amazing Annika - truly world class

This is why I follow her on Facebook.

[@TempoDrift1480]

She makes excellent use of that China. Most people don't get it and just use them as a normal crash because it's close to the floor toms.

[@holysmoker9649]

I love when the drums are so processed that they stop sounding like a drum

[@mikedulin1325]

Yeah...this demo is a joke. She is amazing, but this is not what drums sound like. C'mon Tama your better than that.

[@ImDatOoz]

I actually thought it was a kazoo ! what a shame

[@onnipoika6969]

i think this is just recorded well and and some processing but not too much but the drums could be little louder in my opinion

[@oldowl4290]

Easily one of the best drum videos on KZbin. I just wish they had listed what tom heads were used because they sound like muffled cardboard in this mix. :/

[@giovannicatellani1183]

😊

[@musicalgroovesaucet.v.1789]

Nice. Would you mind giving a run down of cymbals and sizes? Thanks :)

[@TempoDrift1480]

She's very attractive for not acting like she's sexy.

[@drumfanatik316]

Unbelievable playing!!! I can’t get over the angle on the cymbals though! Seems as if she would tear up a lot of sticks and risk breaking cymbals hitting them on the edge like that?

[@drumjedi5301]

I'm a Sabian player, and after talking to my rep about breaking cymbals, he suggested trying the low mount, angle away setup, and I gotta say: after I got used to it, I really like it, and haven't cracked a cymbal since.

[@drumfanatik316]

DrumJedi I started lowering my cymbals about 10 years ago. The best move I ever made. And I have to say, that since then, I too have not broken any cymbals. I don’t think it’s so much about the angle as it is a players technique?

[@drumjedi5301]

@@drumfanatik316 I think it's a little bit of both. I've changed my technique as well in recent years. For me, the angle change wemt hand in hand with it.

[@paulshumate2904]

Bad ass 4sure but I miss that Mapex sound!!

[@ajwasp]

I would love to know how Anika describes her music style. I’m passed needing names, as music should be more progressive, as Anika Nilles absolutely is, but out of curiosity. I would probably call it “free funk fusion”, but I somehow want to add the word “trashy” I’m there, as the whole “trashy” sound element to her music is also focal. Any other offers?

[@bsm6776]

that guitar tho 🎸

[@richardtemple9292]

Does she have an album or something ? I would really like to buy it

[@raydrysdale2726]

Richard Temple she does. I think it's called Pikalar

[@anykmusic]

Hey! I'm glad you like it! I have an album and lots of single tracks to purchase. Just check iTunes or Amazon... the most of them also available as drum less tracks... just in case ;-)

[@gomachanLovely]

このシンバル使えるね🎉🎉🎉

[@FedericoS8]

What's the secret to tune that damned duo snare? I have one but still have issues to obtain that fat sound...

[@Grit489]

Good drumming and nice kit if the music wasn't so loud you might be able to hear the bloody drums !!!

[@DavieDrum98]

This was meant to be a mix where it sounds like a final track. It sounds great tbh

Relax Rosenthal. You assume he was commenting on looks. Her drumming IS beautiful. The commentor is a kid, and his observation is accurate.

[@DrGray_Drummer]

What's up with the angle of your L crash? BTW, you're a hell of a drummer!

[@saintjabroni]

Logical angle though.

[@bartekbak5707]

Jeez! That hi hat sounds sweet! What is it?

[@jeremykoh156]

I think its a meinl pure alloy

[@SyntheticFuture]

Eh.. for a kit demo a full mix is not going to do it for me :( Give us some isolated sound, preferably not too processed. Give us some "the kit with room mics". Let us experience the kit as if we where standing there. A good recording engineer can make a 100 dollar kit sound like 10.000 (will just take a lot of effort), it doesn't give a good impression.

[@heliomarcoelhodasilva.4123]

[@internettoughguy]

Damn she's tight.

[@venomagent76]

I bet ... 😉

[@sebar4123]

Wait , amazing kit and everything but , why are those cymbals looking the other way?

[@graviton9282]

SebaTheRed ergonomic in when you play them their angle becomes at the place that is most easily played. Try it....

[@andyham6094]

I love Anika and think she’s amazing but her beats are ALWAYS the triples on the right hand on the cymbals. Always at some point in most of her songs. Not saying it’s the same exact beat cause the bass drum is usually different with the ghost notes but before I even clicked on this video I knew that was gonna happen at some point.

[@FanaticDrummer]

But does it djent?

Anika you are a "Goddess" on the drums. Just watching you play inspires me to sit down at my kit. Aside from all of that, you are one very sexy drummer.

[@danielbalatoni3622]

Why does it sound so muffled?

[@Fos3tex]

Because she tunes low. The snare is also an aluminum snare, which is very dry.

[@footlongrat2755]

Why she look at camera many times
