Daniel Hans Erwin Zimmermann (born 30 October 1966 in Nürnberg, West Germany)[1] is a retired German heavy metal drummer. He is best known as having been the drummer of German power metal bands Gamma Ray[2] and Freedom Call.[3] He was a founding member of Freedom Call, from which he departed in 2010.[4] Two years later he also left Gamma Ray, announcing a retirement from the music business in 2012.[5]
Freedom Call celebrated their 20th anniversary and release of M.E.T.A.L, their tenth studio album, on tour.[6] The new album featured a reprise of Zimmermann's drumming on the title song.[7]
