Such a genuine, sweet , chill teacher and performer. Anyone she plays with always have nothing but great things to say about her. I am overjoyed that millions of people are enjoying her phenomenal skills and lighthearted joy that she brings to Rush and the fans. She has earned her place on Neils throne by blood, sweat and tears making her way. If you have not watched her with Mr Jeff Beck, make sure to check her out

I'm watching this as I've just been introduced to Anika via Geddy and Alex. I'm not a drummer, but appreciate the skills and tuition here, very well explained and demonstrated.

Also nice to see she is using the old Tama imperial Star snaredrum, ( back from the 80's) it still sounds great.

It's like a reversed heel toe and it is super useful! I'm currently working on developing both direction, and after 8 months of practice i can do them at 160 bpm with almost no efforts for a minute straight. It's a long path to gain high velocity but your drumming will have huge benefits from this, especially in balance, power, precision and....of course for great doubles! If you practice both direction after a while try jim chapin section 1 with the feet, you'll be surprised :)

She's the miracle.

This is a great technique and she is great. Jo Jo Mayer did this years ago. She probably studied him intensely. Welcome to RUSH.

Because of you, I've changed a lot of my technique. You are an inspiration, without doubt! This heel toe technique on the kick is proving to be a God send! A while back I even reversed my number one and two toms due to you! I'll never go back! Thanks for all you bring to the craft!!! You rock!!!

She really good drummer

@emergentform1188 4 years ago (edited)

Brilliant, love it. I've been working on this exact technique for a few months now (learned from another teacher on youtube) and it's great. Solved so many issues I was having. Doubles or however many strokes you need. Harder than it looks for sure but absolutely killer. Anika is legend and we should all be grateful for her sharing this gem with us 💛

@dwayneaguiar1148 4 years ago

Wow I love it thats a bad azz grove.

Since the big news broke even non-drummers watch drum lessons - by Anika. That's a good thing I'd say because these lessons give insight into all the little but hard to learn details that make a good drummer. Anika is a good teacher, having honed her teaching craft in hundreds of live clinics all over the world. She is also the Head of the Drumming Department at Germany's most renowned academy for popular music ("Popakademie Mannhein"). I am so thrilled that she got the Rush gig. It's good for her and good for Alex and Geddy. Unfortunately I won't be able to see the shows since I live too far away. That's why I hope that they put out an EP or something to celebrate the next phase of the Rush project.
