Anika Nilles - "SMOOTH7"

Anika when up upload videos like this you not only improve the drumming world but you reduce the ridiculous gap between female and male drummers, musicians and professionals. It's hard to describe.

You are an inspiration to everyone.

is this based on septuplets? it's incredible! I just watched a video of Anika explaining and playing quintuplets, and I'm still trying to think in 5s, and now this... I can't!

Müll /rubbish

Why this song so underated tho?

Best cymbal sounds ever.. and those drums sound incredible. Amazing playing.. damn it.

I bought byzance extra dry hi hats because of you Anika. They sound amazing.

Girl yer the best drummer I’ve experienced since Neil Pert-most especially from a composition point of view-he always understood that drums were an instrument and not just a beat for a song

💜

Thank you for this masterpiece. I surely enjoy drumming/thrashing to it often! Aaayyee

I have watched this at least 100;times and are always blown away.

울누나 멋지다♡

Still hyper appreciated ;)

Anika you good drs

Love this groove!

What time signature is that in?

The best

When I watch and listen to Anika play, certain words come to mind. Seamless, tasteful, thoughtful, introspective, graceful and effortless (though I'm certain a great deal of effort and thought to into her work.)
She is everything I ever wanted to be as a player. Its a beautiful thing to watch and to listen to.
Thank you Ms. Niles. From the depths of my heart.

this is like the most iconic composition from Anika Niles, really love this

Please do some popular songs cover like A7X pls pls

saw this a couple of years ago, glad to have stumbled upon it again. such an emotional (??) groove!

Großartig 😎
Kraft und so gefühlvoll .
Hammer 🔨

This video has 14k views as I'm writting this and I myself alone probably account for 1% of that... love it.

It’s so crazy, Anika probably has the most instantly recognizable sound as drummers go. Love her groupings of five.

Yes! l found what it is the so extraordinary with Anikas performance.. Love

Excellent one Anika. You are a blessing.

These dudes are just constantly LOCKED IN!!! And nothin’ but SAUCE!!!

She wows me every time!

7/8 🪽❤️‍🔥

Das hört sich sooo gut an......einfach großartig

One of the best ❤

So inspiring and original! Love this : )

Ok, I just recognized why in 6+ years i got not one single like to my comment - because it got censored by x*\–"¿:Yt=¡zkbrzn?. No shit, Sherlock. Anyway, the great Adam Neely propagates this today as Hypertuplets and talks about the magic of the remaining 4/4 character. The great Anika Nilles did this - so smooth - already 7+ years ago.

Count the septuplets starting at every quarter note as follows, accents/played notes = uppercase syllables:
1.) KA - li - ba - shi - UH - ma - le
2.) KA - li - ba - SHI - uh - ma - le

Put BD on KA of 1.) and SN on KA of 2.)

For the most part of this great tune you‘re ready to go with it. Good luck. :)
