press quotes:

'90s, Asaf Sirkis has earned a reputation as one of the world's premier drummers”

Ian Patterson, All About Jazz, September 2008

Bill Milkowski, Jazz Times (USA), April 2009

Chris Parker, January 2009

“Devastatingly creative”

Sirkis is not only an inventive drummer but also a composer of

Chris Ingham, Mojo Magazine, October 2008

DeJohnette and Tony Williams at the height of their powers that's taken the British scene by storm over the last few years”...
