Pete Zimmer, a gifted and articulate drummer, composer, and
educator, moved to Queens,
New York in June of 2001 after his completion at the New
England Conservatory of Music in
Boston,
MA.
Upon his arrival in the Big Apple, Pete Zimmer quickly became
recognized for his uncanny swing and propulsive authority; all while
maintaining a very high sense of musicality when seated behind the
drums.
These attributes, along with his constant
professionalism, brought Zimmer to perform or record with a fine
array of artists including: George Garzone, Joel Frahm, Jeremy Pelt,
Michael Rodriguez, David Wong, Dennis Irwin, Rick Germanson, Randy
Napoleon, Michael Karn, Julius Tolentino, Gene Perla, Tom Kennedy,
Wayne Escoffery, Jaleel Shaw, Dan Nimmer, among many others.
In May of 2004, Pete Zimmer launched his record
label, Tippin’ Records, and on September 7th, 2004 released his
first album as a leader, “Common
Man,” which was declared “an impressive debut” by the
Philadelphia Daily News.
Since that time, Zimmer has produced and released three
additional CDs as a leader, “Burnin’ Live at the Jazz Standard”
(2006), “Judgment” (2006), and “Chillin’ Live @ Jazz Factory”
(2008). These CDs feature
many of his compositions that have brought him a great deal of
critical acclaim worldwide.
In
addition to being an active performer, Zimmer is dedicated to
educating and developing the talents of students.
Mr. Zimmer has conducted educational clinics at many
universities throughout the USA
including Indiana University,
Ohio
State University, Northern Illinois University,
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and Wisconsin
Conservatory of Music, in addition to private lessons of various
ages and levels.
