Anika Nilles: the protégée
Whether she’s writing and recording originals, educating the next generation of drummers, or taking the throne for the late Professor, Anika Nilles has forged a rhythmic path that few drummers can hold a candle to. Her fast-growing catalog of unique solo releases and her tenure teaching at Nexus ICA, Drumeo, and the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg conservatory have inspired percussionists worldwide and earned her critical acclaim from Modern Drummer magazine, DRUM!, the Drummie Awards, and Music Radar. In June of 2026, Anika took the stage with prog-rock legends Rush for the group’s highly anticipated and hiatus-breaking Fifty Something Tour. Sweetwater is proud to partner with both Anika and Meinl Cymbals to bring her celestial cymbals of choice to the masses!
