Adrian David Krok is a Polish drummer living and working in Berlin.

He is involved in a wide variety of musical projects, mostly in the direction of free improvisation, free jazz and experimental music.
After studying music for a short time in Switzerland, he left the academic music world and continued to expand his technique and personal approach through self education and experience.
His approach to the drums embodies a combination of static grooves and beats with extended techniques and more textural elements, utilizing objects and preparations in addition to playing in the traditional manner. His playing is characterized by an incredible sensitivity and awareness, but is at the same time powerful and direct.
