Anika Nilles (the new Rush drummer) live - Leverkusener Jazztage 2023 - Jazzline


Line-up

Anika Nilles - drums
Joachim Schneiss - guitar
Johnathan Ihlenfeld- bass
Patrick Rugebregt - keyboards
Hilde Müller - keyboards
Santino Scavelli - percussion

She's got the groove and feels the beats. She sweeps across her drum kit with determination and expressiveness, mastering every nuance between explosive and sensitive. Anika Nilles, a lecturer at the Pop Academy Mannheim, is a wonderful presence in the male-dominated world of drumming and – quite understandably – is truly sick of hearing the phrase: "Not bad for a woman." Anika Nilles, who has drummed for artists such as Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp, combines rhythmic intelligence with an urgent joy in her playing.
