Tama Anika Nilles 14" x 6.5" Signature Snare Drum
The Tama Anika Nilles Signature Snare Drum is the result of over two years of development between Tama and one of the most acclaimed drummers of her generation. Built to Anika Nilles' exact specifications, it combines a deep, enveloping low-end with clear note definition and a vintage-inspired aesthetic — a snare designed to serve expressive, groove-led playing at the highest level. Available now from Into Music, one of the UK's leading independent drum retailers and an authorised Tama dealer. Call us on 01507 526517 or order online with UK next day delivery available.
Aluminium Shell
The AN1465 is built from an aluminium shell — a material choice that sits at the heart of its sonic character. Aluminium delivers a focused, cutting attack with strong projection and a naturally tight, controlled low-end. In Anika Nilles' hands, this translates to a snare that can hold its own in complex, layered musical settings — articulate enough to keep intricate ghost note passages clear and defined, with enough body and depth to carry weight in the overall mix. At 6.5" deep, it has the presence and resonance to produce a full, satisfying tone without losing the sensitivity she requires for more delicate playing.
Developed for Expressive Playing
This isn't a snare designed around a single genre or a single application. Nilles plays across a broad musical spectrum — urban jazz, modern funk, progressive rhythmic music — and the signature snare had to match that versatility. The development brief centred on three priorities: substantial lows, clear articulation, and classic styling. More than two years of refinement went into achieving that balance, and the result is a snare that rewards players who demand more from their instrument than a one-dimensional voice.
Vintage-Inspired Aesthetics
Anika Nilles has a longstanding appreciation for vintage snare drums, and that influence is clearly visible in the AN1465's design. The visual execution draws from classic snare drum aesthetics while remaining a thoroughly modern instrument — a signature piece that looks as considered as it sounds.
