FRANK ZUMMO Releases 'Unbreakable Rhythm: My Journey Through Music, Wellness, and Mental Strength'

Today, legendary drummer and Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductee Frank Zummo has released his highly anticipated new book, UNBREAKABLE RHYTHM: My Journey Through Music, Wellness, and Mental Strength with music journalist Jason Pettigrew. The memoir is out now via Modern Drummer Publications and available here and here. Limited edition signed copies are also available via Premiere Collectibles here.

The idea for the book was sparked during a powerful moment during Zummo’s 2023 School of Rock Workshop. After performing with Sum 41 and The Offspring, Zummo drove straight to House of Vans Chicago to lead the event. In the crowd that day was Pettigrew, who had already been discussing the possibility of a book with Zummo and had driven several hours just to attend. What unfolded backstage after the event became the starting point: Pettigrew hit record, they began talking, and that conversation ultimately became the book’s introduction.

Fans can expect a deeply inspiring and raw story that bridges mental health awareness and musical passion to create something real and impactful. The book features a heartfelt foreword by musician Dhani Harrison, son of the legendary George Harrison, It will also include notable conversations and interviews from Tommy Lee (Drummer, Motley Crüe), Deryck Whibley (Singer, Sum 41), Kevin Lyman (Founder, Vans Warped Tour), Laird Hamilton (Big Wave Surf Legend), and many more.

Frank Zummo shares:

“I can’t believe Unbreakable Rhythm is finally out in the world. This book is a piece of my heart — a journey through struggle, resilience, and the beat that carried me forward. I’m honored to have so many special guests from all walks of life be part of this book, from music to wellness, each shaping the rhythm that brought me here. My hope is that anyone who reads it finds strength in their own rhythm.”

In addition to the book, Zummo recently released EP Feels. This new project serves as the book’s soundtrack, intended to be listened to as you read through the book. The EP’s cover art was created by Zummo’s two sons, adding a deeply personal touch to the project. It’s a collection of emotionally driven, genre-blending tracks that reflect Zummo’s evolution as an artist and human.

Zummo will also have a handful of book / workshop tour dates, which can be found below this fall and winter. Additional details will be announced in the coming weeks. To stay up to date on all of Frank Zummo’s latest news please follow him at @FrankZummo.
