He has received many accolades from major publications. "Pete Zimmer has learned his New York lessons well, as his dry tone, meaty swing beat and subtle accents make him an old hand (Down Beat), and "Zimmer's drumming boasts a crisp, swinging command with judicious musicality." (Modern Drummer) Zimmer has performed and recorded with George Garzone, Jeremy Pelt, Michael Rodriguez, Joel Frahm, Peter Bernstein, Ron McClure and others.
