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. [8] [9] In August 2009, Zummo filled in for Tommy Lee for a string of Mötley Crüe shows. [10] 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. [11] Zummo has recorded three studio albums with Sum 41, 2016's 13 Voices , 2019's Order in Decline , and 2024's Heaven :x: Hell . Zummo went by the name El Dildo (who replaced Deryck Whibley's alter-ego Gunner; who switched to guitar) in Sum 41's alter-ego heavy metal band Pain For Pleasure, where the members of Sum 41 would parody a 1980s metal band.

He has performed drum sets and DJ sets several times at Emo Nite in Los Angeles. [12]

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; [13] Zummo has credited the opportunity with re-energizing his interest in music after Sum 41's disbandment. [14] He would return as the band's live drummer again for the 2025 summer festival shows, due to David Friedrich leaving the band. [15]
