Frank C. Zummo[2] (born July 2, 1978)[3][4] is an American drummer, best known as a member of the rock bands Sum 41,[5][6] Street Drum Corps,[7] Gravas, and Electric Callboy.[8]
Career
Zummo is one of the founding members of Street Drum Corps. He has performed as the drummer for several other bands, both as a full-time member and session member, including Thenewno2, theStart, Dead By Sunrise, Virgin Steele, and Krewella.[9][10] In August 2009, Zummo filled in for Tommy Lee for a string of Mötley Crüe shows.[11] In January 2011, he became the new drummer for the band Julien-K.
Zummo joined Sum 41 in 2015, following the departure of original drummer and founding member Steve Jocz in 2013.[12] Zummo has recorded three studio albums with Sum 41, 2016's 13 Voices, 2019's Order in Decline, and 2024's Heaven :x: Hell.
He has performed drum sets and DJ sets several times at Emo Nite in Los Angeles.[13]
Zummo filled in as the drummer for Electric Callboy at the Good Things Festival 2024, mastering their entire set in less than a day after their drummer David Friedrich fell sick;[14] Zummo has credited the opportunity with re-energizing his interest in music after Sum 41's disbandment.[15] He would return as the band's live drummer again for the 2025 summer festival shows, due to David Friedrich leaving the band. The band is currently continuing on with Frank Zummo as their touring drummer.[16]
