Michael Towne Sarin (born 20 September 1965) is an American jazz drummer noted for his work in New York City's avant-garde jazz scene. [1]
Born in Stockton, California, Sarin moved as a child to the Puget Sound region. [2] He studied percussion privately before attending the University of Washington and Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, where he focused on jazz and classical drumming techniques. [3]
In the early 1990s, Sarin relocated to New York City, joining the downtown jazz and improvisation community. He collaborated with saxophonist Thomas Chapin [4] and trumpeter Dave Douglas. [5]
Sarin's drumming blends precise rhythmic frameworks with free improvisation, noted for its dynamic textures and polyrhythmic complexity. [6] Influences include Tony Williams, Jack DeJohnette, and global percussion traditions.
Sarin has conducted masterclasses at the New York Jazz Workshop and contributed to drumming podcasts. [10]
