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 duos between drum sets and DJ several times at Emo Nite in Los Angeles.[13]

Zummo filled in as the drummer for Electric Callboy at the Good Things Festival 2024 after their drummer David Friedrich fell sick, and was described as a "lifesaver" for helping the band perform on such short notice.[14] Zummo has credited the opportunity with re-energizing his interest in music after Sum 41's disbandment.[15] After Friedrich left Electric Callboy, Zummo became their official drummer for a string of 2025 performances.[16]
