DW artist and “DRUMMER WANTED”star Dean Zimmer recently flew over to England to take part in the filming and music recording of a documentary entitled “We’re The Superhumans” for the 2016 Paralympics (broadcast on Channel 4 in England). He can be seen in the middle of the above trailer performing as the drummer in the rock band.
Zimmer was born with arthrogryposis – a rare condition that severely restricts joint movement in his legs and arms.
Dean’s interest in music led to him playing drums back in South Dakota where he befriended the late, great Mark Craney of Jethro Tull fame.
Dean also appeared in Modern Drummer and in a show that featured him on the DRUM CHANNEL with his buddies Gregg Bissonette, Terry Bozzio, Doane Perry, Myron Grombacher, and more (clips of the show):
