The musician

Percussionist, singer-songwriter and instrument creator, best known as the founding member, frontman, and leader of Besh o droM, the first internationally significant world music band from Hungary. Their music combines Balkan Gypsy, Hungarian and Middle Eastern folk songs adapted peculiarly by bending genres like rock, funk and even Drum and Bass. Their songs have been selected on several world music and balkan beat box compilation CD-s.

He collaborated with renowned musicians like Peter Ogi and Félix Lajkó.

As part of Besh o droM, Ádám contributed music to films by Miklós Jancsó and theatre productions by Róbert Alföldi. He also developed a unique percussion instrument called the Peckdrum, which serves as a drum kit alternative. He plays this innovative instrument in the Babindák-Juhász-Papesch-Pettik Quartet.
