Tom Rainey is an American jazz drummer, born in California in 1957 and raised in Santa Barbara. He studied at Berklee in Boston and settled in New York at the end of the 1970s, where he moved from straight-ahead work in the early 1980s into the city's free improvising scene. He is known for his long run as Tim Berne's drummer and for his groups with saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock, his wife. In his early New York years Rainey often played in a trio with Kenny Werner and Ratzo Harris.
