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.

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 original drummer had to depart unexpectedly."[13]
