"  Emrah Kotan is one of the amazing drummers I have had the pleasure of working with. His time is impeccable. Emrah's versatility is wonderful. He will play an an incredibly difficult Latin jazz piece in 7/8 time, and then turn around and lay down a funky in the pocket groove. On top of all that he is reliable and a joy to have around."

"Mr. Kotan inspires in fellow students, musicians, and teachers a great sense of confidence and respect. He is an outstanding drummer and percussionist. He has the ability to grasp sophisticated musical concepts easily..."
