Not long ago, Electric Callboy shared the announcement that their longtime drummer David Friedrich has decided to leave the band. Despite this, the scheduled shows for 2025 will still go ahead – and now the band has revealed who will be behind the drums at their summer festival gigs.
Their pick: Frank Zummo, who could have been enjoying a well-earned retirement after Sum 41’s farewell tour – as seen in the video below. But plans have changed: this summer, he’s hitting the big festival stages again, this time with Electric Callboy. Most importantly: his kids gave him their blessing – so it’s all systems go!
Back in late 2024, Frank Zummo already stepped in spontaneously for a show in Australia when David Friedrich was unable to perform due to illness.

David Friedrich has also shared a heartfelt statement on his personal Instagram account about parting ways with Electric Callboy. In it, he expresses deep gratitude to his bandmates, the entire EC crew both on and off stage, and of course to fans all over the world. While his next steps remain undecided, he says the decision feels “right and important”.
We wish him all the best on his journey ahead!
