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!
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.
I think you'd be Samwise Gamgee because you're always super positive, your strength and will are remarkable and you're very perseverant. You look like the kind of guy who doesn't give up until you reach your goals while also helping others to achieve their own, even if you need to carry them on your back, you'll get them to their destiny. You also seem like a noble and loyal person, so yeah, Samwise Gamgee.
I currently practice with the bass guitar, but I also liked the drums as a last option. I like this channel, how he details the events, have always followed him ...
I would say you would be aragorn because you were the one to gather all these monster drummers to teach us just as he was the first one to say he would join the fellowship. You told the drumming community that we have your sticks lol
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.
I never watched LOTR so I'm gonna use the Ninja Turtles instead: Flo is Master Splinter, Eugene is Michaelangelo, and Marthyn is Donatello. (Side note: Dave Astor is Krang)
Always been a HUGE fan of Lord Worms vocal style. Definitely an acquired taste for most people though...can't handle his level of brutality 😂 if I'm not mistaken, he taught poetry at a college? Dude's a beast either way
lol. " i love the vocals" erhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol.. i don't mind death metal growls.. but ENUNCIATE YOUR WORDS MAN!!!!!!. I have a few of their albums and flo's instructional vid. great vid. made me think of the alice cooper scene in wayne's word. dude in a death metal band going apes shit all the time. i turn on the dvd and he talks like the hippy teacher in beavis and butthead. sooooooooooo mellow
First off if you know anything about death metal, you'd know you don't need to hear the lyrics. Especially cryptopsy. Secondly this is a live perfomance, matt actually enunciates pretty well in the studio, but live a lot of vocalists enunciate less to keep their vocals in check, corpsegrinder is the best example of this, but frank mullen did it too.
@@drumtechniqueacademy yep. You should check out Alex Pelletier playthrough of Light speed, he’s super fast on that song. You should also check out Unbreakable, another awesome play through. He’s another formidable drummer like Flo Mounier but much faster than Flo. I heard quarantine is almost around 320-340 Bpm like Light speed and Vies d’ anges. 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. Alex Pelletier has his own youtuber video play through of The aftermath-Despised icon. He was so fast on this one. Another 310 bpm song along with the music video of bad vibes-Despised icon. His drum playthrough is through Nuclear blast records channel, both light speed and Unbreakable. UMC, sick drummer magazine, 66Samus himself comment his playthrough as one of the best, without a doubt.
IMO he did his greatest work (CoF, Dimmu, Old Mans Child) when Sickdrummer or Drummersfromhell weren't around yet, so there are only a few snippets of his live drumming in these days. :/
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.
@@6.thedollar415 dude i have a video of one from benedictine convulsions, flo used to sound like an angry pre-pubescent kid screaming at a video game (in the good way) shit sounded so cool lol
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.
hey marthyn i just had a question on how to fix a problem in having with double bass. whenever i go faster than about 150 my feet switch to ankles and i have no control and i start to lean back on my chair. i want to be like nils fellstrom where you lean forward with full leg. how to i fix this so i don’t lean back and switch to ankles??
Ich schaue deine Videos schon länger (echt gute Videos btw!) und ich bin froh, dass du das TH-cam-Game gelernt hast und noch viel mehr Zeit ins Editing steckst. Sieht finde ich sehr gut aus. Und inhaltlich ist es (wie immer) super analysiert. Du verstehst die Musik und die Techniken dahinter. Liebe Geschwindigkeit-Freaks Grüße ;-)
You'd definitely be Samwise Gamgee. He always made sure Frodo didn't mess up. The voice of reason. So when you think about.....he was the real hero., not Frodo.
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)
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.
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.
You would definitely be Legolas from Lord of the Rings! Haha! I could totally see that Marthyn with your dreaded hair. You do have deadly accuracy after all!
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.
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!
Cryptopsy was probably the first band that I couldn’t understand how someone could play so fast. Now I understand it.. I just can’t do it. Lol. Yet…
😀 same here
@@drumtechniqueacademy Thank you for this he's so fast the camera can't keep up haha. Amazing drummer one of the all time best
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.
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.
I noticed him take big gulps of air, like a power lifter.
@@ChrisWilliamsREI Yup, and he knows exactly when and where to do it.
@@keysersoze9511 That's right, jackass. Flo said it himself in an interview decades ago. See what happens when you speak with no knowledge?

@@drumtechniqueacademy I'm just being honest man! Thanks for replying and keep it up, you're doing a great job!
There's things worth blastin' for Mr. Frodo
Flos drumming is brutal and frantic at the same time and leaves you feeling panic in a good way.
The good Flo, one of my drum heroes. The drums in None so Vile and Once Was Not are just incredible
I'm watching your channel for years now. Your content is improved and you look very confortable on the camera. Drum is life! peace!

The moment I heard CRYPTOPSY years ago (lord worm stuff) I knew this was gonna be my favorite Death metal band of all time!
Hey Martyn, isn't that triplet blast just another version of the more commonly known 'Dirk (Verbeuren) blast'?
Isn't the flam accent rudiment the 'Dirk Blast'?
HOW do you not hit your laptop?
Will happen sooner or later 😉

@@nicolasreny221 yup
@@J_Cadaverous I don’t watch tnmt so idk krang but I’m curious as to y he would be him
Anyone notice how Flo continuously varies the tempo? He is almost never playing exactly on time, he is either slowly accelerating or slowing down.
Yeah, in my experience he has a tendency to speed things up live
Happens a lot with live bands that aren't playing to a click!
5:12 subtitles go "fun" x)))))
Marthyn please do a video about Nick Barker
What drum set do you have?
That solo sounds like it was taken directly from Tornado of Souls
Sounds like it could have been inspired by Tornado
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey Marthyn, have you heard of Kai hahto from Wintersun or Nightwish? Maybe do a react video plz? 😁
great vid and yes his vocals rule.

Somebody answer that phone please!
Flo was so ahead of his time. Nobody else played like that in the 90s
@1983Overkill dude no offense, I love Pete, but no 🤕
Y hoy quien toca así?
How about you do the Nick Barker some time? His work is so creative it would be interesting to see.
IMO he did his greatest work (CoF, Dimmu, Old Mans Child) when Sickdrummer or Drummersfromhell weren't around yet, so there are only a few snippets of his live drumming in these days. :/
I was backstage at a show with Napalm and Lock-up - Barker farted and it made me throw-up
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 the fellowship of these metal drummers Marthyn is the Aragorn the king of ankle technique
😄
@@drumtechniqueacademy Don't break that ankle kicking an enemy's skull though!
You're definetly Aragorn and Eugene is Legolas🤣
Just now got more into Flo, and he's really becoming a big favourite now! And as always good stuff Marthyn!

He only started heel/toe in the last few years (beginning with the first EP). He said he wanted to go faster than he ever has
