I will never forget the first time I discovered Anika. I randomly came across her video of “Alter Ego” on YouTube. Within the first few seconds she played a simple, but very cool, quintuplet drum fill. I was hooked.

Since that video, Anika has exploded on the internet and she also has a great album of play-along tracks you can pick up here.

This video breaks down a great drum fill she played on her track entitled “Wild Boy”. The video shows the example at full speed, and then slowed to 70%.
