Event Description:
“Drumbone” is a duo collaboration between Trombonist Peter McEachern and Drummer Michael Sarin. The group explores the interaction and sonic possibilities of a “bare bones” instrumentation. The duo draws on multiple genres of music including jazz, minimalism and world music.

MIchael Sarin-Drums
Since moving to New York in 1989, Michael’s unique style and approach to the drum set has
been highly sought after by NYC and European musicians looking to expand the definitions
of jazz and improvised music.
Michael performs all over the world--in major and minor festivals; concert halls famous and
infamous, big and small. He has appeared as a soloist with the WDR Rundfunk Orchestra
(Cologne, Germany); Jazz Sinfonica Orchestra (Sao Paulo, Brazil); Metropolis Ensemble
(NYC); and Chamber Music Northwest (Portland, Oregon). He can be heard on recent
recordings of Frank Carlberg, Mark Dresser, Joe Fiedler, Erik Friedlander, David Krakauer,
and Leslie Pintchik.
As an educator, Michael has been on the faculty of the Maine Jazz Camp since 1999. He has
taught drum set master classes at universities in the United States, and co-led jazz
ensemble master classes in the U.S., Brazil, Namibia, India, and Europe. He is currently on
staff of the Count Basie Theatre Performing Arts Academy; is a member of the teaching
faculty of the New York Jazz Workshop; and is an Artist-In-Residence at Project Write Now,
