Frank Ferrer served as the drummer for Guns N’ Roses from 2006 until his departure in March 2025, making him the band’s longest-tenured drummer. He initially joined as a temporary replacement for Bryan “Brain” Mantia during the European tour and officially became a full-time member later that year. Ferrer’s contributions spanned several tours and albums, including the “Chinese Democracy” album.
On March 19, 2025, Guns N’ Roses announced Ferrer’s amicable exit, expressing gratitude for his friendship, creativity, and steadfast presence over the years. His last performance with the band was in November 2023 in Mexico.
Following Ferrer’s departure, the band introduced Isaac Carpenter as their new drummer. Carpenter is known for his work with artists like Adam Lambert, Awolnation, and A Perfect Circle. He will join Guns N’ Roses for their 2025 European, Asian, and Middle East tour, which begins in May.
