Described by JazzWise Magazine’s George Howlett as having “ever-crisp stickwork, spanning Cuba to India and beyond,” Adam’s drumming is marked by a rare combination of precision, fluidity, and cultural diversity. His sound is deeply rooted in jazz’s improvisational spirit while drawing heavily from world rhythms and ambient soundscapes, creating an unmistakably immersive and multi-dimensional experience.
