Internationally acclaimed drummer and educator, Mike Warren embodies every exciting element that makes for a rhythmic experience that is "other worldly" and "funky beyond belief." The percussive genius he displays on the drums knows no limits, making ballads equally as lush and exciting as more up-tempo dance selections. His musical intuition is telepathic. As one of the most well-rounded and creative drummers around, he is particularly known for his unmistakable "Kansas City Swing Feel." The late jazz drummer, Max Roach, praised Mike's prowess on the drum kit, and Lincoln Center's Wynton Marsalis, upon hearing Mike play, exclaimed about his "in the pocket" groove: "Yeah man, you in there!"
