    Synergy, one of Anika Nilles’ more recent singles, is a blend of pop, rock, and progressive music to create a smooth blend of head-bobbing goodness. Not only does Anika deliver a killer drum performance, but she also wrote and produced the music herself - AND handled the synth and piano parts. Sheesh!

    She is such a great inspiration to young female drummers and to all drummers as well.
    Awesome playing and ability, incredible groove and finesse.

      +Aaron L one of my biggest inspirations ever along with cindy (another great). drum culture is still sexist - when it stops being sexist then we can stop pointing out genders i think.

    I love that you can see how much fun she’s having behind the kick. Those subtle smiles after each fill or once she kicks into a groove. Very entertaining to watch joy matched with technical skill.

      MEINL does it right lmao
      I believe it's mostly, if not all, Byzance series. I know her ride is an extra dry and I believe her hats are too, looks like she also has a dual crash and a dark crash all from the MEINL byzance series. One thing's for sure: I want them all lmao

      @@robintarket6844 hats are two extra dry 18" crashes I think, 2 extra dry crash’s, one dual crash, with a 6 inch traditional splash, 10" extra dry splash, the stack up top looks like a 10 inch pure alloy splash on top of the generation x china, 12", 22" Extra Dry Ride, Anika’s signature Deep Hats.

    I've played/taught Piano for 30 years among multiple other instruments. I just want to thank her for re-kindling my passion for the percussion kit! Never had those skills, but I will try again thanks to you Anika!

    • @philtravers5552
      @philtravers5552 Před rokem

      That's great that you want to revisit the kit. So many great drummers out there to fuel inspiration and creativity. This ladies playing is fantastic. I definitely urge you to jump behind that kit and finesse the hell out of it!

    @confusioncircles Před 6 lety +1

    I have been binge watching, listening in a loop for days now. It makes my soul smile. I find it technically impressive, but the composition is delicious. This is now on my "Soundtrack To Bliss Playlist". Soaring, powerful, yet sweet, just splendid, Thank You Anika Nilles!

  • @ragzdirtee9572
    @ragzdirtee9572 Před 4 lety +1

    To this point she's one of the most talented drummers I've seen on CZcams. Comparing drummers is pointless, because every great musician should have their own signature sound/style/techniques. She most definitely has a very cool personal style and some brilliant techniques of her own.
    Her handwork is mesmerizing, but there's something in her footwork as well that I can't put my finger on. Her timing is absolutely spot on, but thanks to her sense of rhytm and musicality it never sounds like a boring lifeless drum machine.
    This composition is also immensely musical, and it's just a joy to listen to.

      +Martin Bohl Im not so sure about that man they have to at least be 15 or maybe even 16 inches and i only say that because i have that same 10" extra dry splash next to my extra dry hats and in comparison her hats are much larger in her overhead shots then they are in mine

    • @larrytate1657
      @larrytate1657 Před 8 lety

      They are bigger than normal. She uses 15s a lot. She also uses the mapex falcoln pedal. I just got it a few months ago and it's the best pedal I've tried of any.

  • @KennethACrashwaggonMusic
    @KennethACrashwaggonMusic Před 6 lety +2
