In 1982 the school band EFB (Electric Fire Birds) was founded in Rostock, Zimmermann joined EFB in 1983 as a bassist. In 1984 the band was renamed Rosa Rock. The band has won many awards over the course of its existence. It has been voted the most popular amateur band in the Rostock district by readers of the Ostsee-Zeitung several times , and in 1985 it was named the best young band in the GDR at a youth festival in the city of Suhl . In November 1989 the band achieved their first chart placement in the GDR radio DT64 charts.

At the turn of the century , Zimmermann went to Kiel and a short time later joined the Schleswig band Jack Mc Tiger. He toured with many greats in blues and rock music such as Alvin Lee from Ten Years After . Zimmermann gave his first concert in Kiel with Jack Mc Tiger in the Ostseehalle in front of 10,000 people as support for the band Illegal 2001 , which was popular in the 1990s .

Jack Mc Tiger was renamed Timsen un sien Lüüd (Low German ) at the beginning of 1994 . The front man of Timsen un sien Lüüd was the current guitarist of Santiano , Tim Hinrichsen. Zimmermann switched to the double bass. The rocking double bass became his trademark at this time.

At the end of 1994 Zimmermann founded Northern Germany's first bass duo, DoubleBass, with the Hamburg bassist Carsten Börk.

In April 1997 Zimmermann founded the TwoRemarks band with the drummer Tim Engel, the guitarist Wolfgang Meis, the percussionist Sönke Liethmann and the Kiel pianist Georg Schroeter .

The band was then repeatedly reshuffled until the regular line-up, consisting of Mitsch Knauer (keyboard), Tim Engel (drums), Jochen Topp (percussion), Hauke ​​Kliem (guitar) and Sven Zimmermann (bass). With this band, Zimmermann made it back into the German charts. The music director of the radio station NDR 2 , Fred Schoenagel, named this band in 1999 as the best English-speaking act in northern Germany.
