Flo Mounier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flo Mounier (real name: Florient Mounier) is the drummer of the Canadian death metal band Cryptopsy. He has been with the band ever since they renamed themselves from Necrosis to Cryptopsy. He is most known for his technical skills and speed incorporating double bass drumming and blast beats mixed with a jazzy play of rhythms. He is also recognized as the inventor of an extreme metal drumming technique known as the hyperblast, a modified blastbeat where the snare is hit with even more speed and both feet are used at an equal speed. Currently, Mounier is the only metal drummer to have really mastered this technique. He is considered one of the most talented heavy metal drummers of all time.[citation needed]
Flo Mounier was born in France, in 1974 and moved to Chicago seven years later. He moved to Montreal, Canada when he was 14.
Flo Mounier released his very own instructional DVD in November 2005, titled Extreme Metal Drumming 101, which included music clips and lessons.
