Burak Ersoz

I am a London-based international live and session drummer with over 25 years of professional touring, festival and studio experience across Europe and beyond. I built my reputation on refined groove, musical intelligence, stylistic versatility, improvisational skills and a disciplined, performance-focused approach both on stage and in the studio. I am specialised in funk, soul, rock, blues, pop, jazz, experimental and contemporary world music, I deliver strong pocket, creativity, dynamic control and musical sensitivity tailored to each event and artist. My experience ranges from large-scale festival stages and televised performances to theatre productions, touring shows, corporate events and high-end private functions. I fully understand the demands of professional production environments and work seamlessly with musical directors, event planners, technical crews and artists. Throughout my career, I have performed at major international festivals and venues (Glastonbury, Jazz Cafe, Rich Mix, EFG London Jazz Festival, Istanbul Jazz Festival and many more) and supported globally recognised artists (Blues Brothers Band, Uriah Heep, Chuck Berry and more). Alongside his performing career, he spent over 15 years as Artist Relations Manager and involved in Product Development at Istanbul Agop Cymbals, collaborating with leading international drummers and contributing to product innovation. This unique combination of performance and industry experience gives him a deep understanding of both artistic excellence and professional delivery standards. I am equally comfortable working as a touring drummer, session musician or dep, quickly adapting to set lists, arrangements and production requirements. I learn quick, work confidently with click tracks and in-ear monitoring systems, and maintain a high level of preparation and punctuality. In addition to live performance, I offers premium drum recording from his own drum studio, providing high-quality acoustic drum tracking for artists, producers and production companies. Remote recording services are available with fast turnaround and broadcast-ready sound. I am known for my reliability, discretion and collaborative attitude, I prioritise musical integrity while ensuring that every event runs smoothly and professionally. Whether performing at a festival, corporate function, theatre production or private event, my focus remains the same: delivering consistent groove, controlled energy and a polished, confident stage presence.
