Flo is so chaotic in his drumming it's amazing. Like he's always just barely keeping control. And Matt's vocals are kickass, I agree.

Flo's playing is crazy, I love how he puts a fill every two seconds in basically every song. It's pure wild anger. Also he is very natural and doesn't really care about being super precise as a drum machine, he always has a very human touch on the drums, very unique. PS: I like the vocals but he still makes me laugh a bit with that UUUURRRGGGHHHH I have to admin. Matt can do a lot more on vocals but many Cryptopsy fans are still missing Lord Worm and do not accept anything half comprehensible.

I like Matt on the albums better. Especially the self titled album. He sound VICIOUS on there. All the live videos I’ve seen he does that “UUURRRGGGHHH” thing pretty much the whole time and it doesn’t sound the best.

Yesss this! I kinda miss the human feel in the drumming on Cryptopsy's latest releases. The drumming sounds super tight now. Nothing wrong with that of course, but the tiny imprecisions you could hear on Once Was Not and previous albums elevated the music to another level for me.

Flo is a monster, and very unique amongst metal drummers. Part of what makes him perfect for Cryptopsy is that he is not a traditionally "tight" drummer. The chaotic nature of his playing is perfect for Jon Levasseur's riffs and the spastic nature of Cryptopsy's music. Absolutely love his playing.

In -98, when i was in school, we did an almenac where we were to show our hobbies. I played drums back in the days and we was asked one person everyone looked up too, everyone choose their parents…i choose Flo Mounier! Legend!

Watch Flo's mouth. His breathing technique plays a huge role in his speed/endurance.

@@keysersoze9511 That's right, jackass. Flo said it himself in an interview decades ago. See what happens when you speak with no knowledge?

My band in high school played a show with Cryptopsy, and about 30 people sat on both sides of the stage just watching him play the whole set with their jaws on the floor. I watched as he blasted a brand new china into what looked like puzzle pieces when he took it off of the stand.

Matt has such a huge range, even though you wouldn't tell from this video. I loved his vocals on the Unspoken King. Glad to see Flo on the channel - Him and Hellhammer are just so damn creative its almost criminal.

Flos drumming is brutal and frantic at the same time and leaves you feeling panic in a good way.

Just now got more into Flo, and he's really becoming a big favourite now! And as always good stuff Marthyn!

Yes to Cryptopsy, Yes to Archspire and Yes to such Vocals. I was struck by Obituary´s cause of death in 1991 when i was twelf... primarily by the vocals. Drums are also my instrument. I have a tiny channel.

Bravo majstore, Do Archspire next!! Btw, i didnt know that Flo does heel toe!

I guess you explained the technical reason I took to a band like Archspire. I had done all my homework with Cryptopsy. They were way too ahead of their time. People could only hear the chaos when they heard Cryptopsy whereas Archspire had the benefit of more advanced studio production and ever familiar rap-style vocals.

Great video and congratulations for the channel. If you have time you should do a review of Tobias Schuler, the drummer of Der Weg eine Freiheit. Not only a good drummer, also an excellent musician on others instruments as well.

Hi ! What's your set up in this vidéo ? The e-drum !

everybody who listen to Cryptopsy should know this group if from montreal ( quebec ). Ca fais plaisir de voir un groupe quebecois ^^

Hey Martyn, isn't that triplet blast just another version of the more commonly known 'Dirk (Verbeuren) blast'?

I saw Cryptopsy play at Montebello Rockfest in like, 2013 or 14 (forget the exact year). Lord Worm actually performed with them which was great. But afterwards Alice Cooper was on the main stage. His drummer did a solo and it was so underwhelming due to the fact that I had just seen Flo do an entire set that was more insane than his solo. Obviously the solo was fitting for Alice Cooper, but ykno.

Tcheck out my new and never seen before double bass drum technique.

I have a question I’ve wanted to ask for quite a while. A lot of people have criticized Flo for being sloppy and sarcastically suggested he should try getting a metronome. I always thought that the music was just too intricately chaotic for those peoples’ brains (not an insult - hearing individual notes at those speeds is a challenge), and that his playing was too advanced for them to understand. I still remember a ghost note in the middle of the build up to the outro of Depths You’ve Fallen that is simply insane. However, not being an advanced drummer myself, this question has been lingering, so I’d be curious as to your opinion on the matter. Thanks!

I'd say Eugene could be Legolas and you... maybe Frodo? ;p Also this is probably the first time I've heard you talking about vocals (and saying that you love them at least 4 times lol)

Marthyn please do a video about Nick Barker

Please react to Matt Greiner of August Burns Red!

There’s a new Archspire music video called golden mouth of ruin. Spencer did great on that one, still at 350 Bpm. Feinted blue ornaments is a super fast despised icon. This song is believed to be at 390 Bpm from Alex Pelletier. He might be using gravity blast though but the kick drum is like wow.
