Who is Rush's New Drummer Anika Nilles?

When the big announcement came this week that Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson would reunited and tour as Rush for the first time in 10 years, the obvious question was who will be the drummer now that the great Neil Peart has been gone 5 years after succumbing to cancer: it's accomplished German drummer Anika Nilles, whom Geddy Lee's bass guitar tech discovered and befriended when she played drums with the Jeff Beck Group on tour, and the bass tech worked the same tour. Then Geddy went and saw her play, and was pretty much blown away, thinking she may be one of the few people who could play Rush songs the way they should be played. So here's much more from Geddy, Alex, and a ton more about Anika, including two music videos of a couple of here solo tunes: https://ultimateclassicrock.com/anika-nilles-rush-drummer/
