From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frank Ferrer is an American rock drummer and session musician. In October 2006, Ferrer became an official member of the American hard rock band Guns N' Roses after serving as the band's emergency substitute drummer for Bryan Mantia on several occasions during the band's summer 2006 European tour. Ferrer is also a member of The Psychedelic Furs, as well as, a former member of Love Spit Love. He has recorded and worked with several high profile musicians including The Beautiful, Robi Draco Rosa, and Sarah Clifford.
