“Since arriving in London from Israel at the end of the end of the '90s, Asaf Sirkis has earned a reputation as one of the world's premier drummers”

Ian Patterson, All About Jazz, September 2008

“Israeli-born drummer and London resident Asaf Sirkis unleashes with thunderous abandon on this hard-hitting fusion offering that harkens back to a time before the genre became codified, diluted and reduced to a critical joke” .
Bill Milkowski, Jazz Times (USA), April 2009

...“Sirkis simply the most sensitive of percussionists” 
Chris Parker, January 2009

“Devastatingly creative” 
John Fordham, The Guardian 2008

“Asaf Sirkis sounding creatively freer and more dramatically inventive than ever on drums”.
John Fordham, The Guardian, June 2009

“Sirkis is not only an inventive drummer but also a composer of rigour, wit and surprising delicacy”
Chris Ingham, Mojo Magazine, October 2008

“THE MONK delivers beyond expectations. It is an album by an ingenious composer and drummer who carries the listener into new and exciting musical heights! It's definitely not for the meek. This CD has balls, yet it is also very quiet and thought provoking. It's bold music coming from a higher plane and from a drummers perspective, it is a major slice of heaven. Highly recommended with 5 stars”. 
John Pritchard, jazz-rock.com 2008

..."irresistible power"... 
Bill Donaldson, Cadence Magazine, USA, Oct. 2009

“Asaf Sirkis, the world class drum phenomenon reminiscent of Jack DeJohnette and Tony Williams at the height of their powers that's taken the British scene by storm over the last few years”...
