Anika Nilles Steps Into Rush's Legacy | Music News

Anika Nilles, the YouTube-famous drummer who toured with Jeff Beck, is now stepping into legendary shoes as Rush’s new drummer on their “Fifty Something” tour — a massive undertaking honoring Neil Peart’s legacy while redefining the band’s sound. Though she admits she wasn’t deeply familiar with Rush’s catalog growing up, she’s immersed herself in mastering their intricate arrangements, treating each song like a blank canvas to honor Peart’s genius while adding her own voice. With sold-out shows across North America and Geddy Lee personally praising her chops, Nilles is proving that Rush’s music still resonates powerfully — and that fresh talent can carry its torch forward with grace, grit, and groove.
