Well, I have to disagree with Bermuda's dig at Anika. She's a pretty accomplished drummer, one of Jost Nickel's former students. Sure, she's done a lot of YouTube video work, but she at least shows a lot of promise and plays very well.
Certainly not meant as a dig to her, or to anyone who has exposure online. I might do the same if starting out today. I only commented because I still wonder at what point a YT drummer gains the kind of credibility required to work in the real-world of gigs, sessions, and touring. Or, is being a YT drummer a suitable achievement? Assuming they monetize their views, there's some money to be made, but is that a career? And if that drummer becomes pigeonholed, how do they break away from it without simply starting from scratch like everyone else?
