CRYPTOPSY drummer Flo Mounier has released more details about his upcoming instructional drum video which is scheduled for release this summer.

The content of this DVD was inspired by comments and suggestions from the many e-mails Flo has received from the public. Mounier's official web site's forum will be used to build up a FAQs section about drumming techniques, gear and other questions related to the drum world. You can also join a mailing list on the web site to be updated on the DVD's status.

Overview of the DVD's content:

* Warm-ups for practices and shows
* Various stretching exercises
* Endurance and speed-building exercises
* Foot and hand technique
* Grind library: Samples of various grind beats used in extreme metal.
* Gear and drum setup details
* Live footage: Approximately 5 songs from different shows filmed from behind the drums during the Canada 2004 and U.S. 2005 tours

As previously reported, a pre-production recording of a new CRYPTOPSY track, entitled "Carrionshine", has been posted online in MP3 format at this location (5 MB).

"Carrionshine" is scheduled to appear on the Canadian death metallers' fifth album, which will be recorded over the summer for a late 2005 release via Century Media Records. "Each song has a very unique identity and some of the material is a progression from what you’ve heard from CRYPTOPSY in the past," the band recently said about the new compositions. "The album concept has a very distinct beginning and end."

UBER.

Bogner Uberballs

oh yeah..i'll be gettin this....as well as the Kevin Talley instructional DVD..but that ones a little more underground

Is Derek Roddy's video anywhere?

This has been released.

I'd like to see it.

40 bucks!? no thanks, dude...thats way too much money..plus 5 bucks shipping...screw that
i saw a clip from this though and it made me realize that this guy has terrible cymbal sound...goddamn Sabians

I heard that guy's a good drummer.

that video of his drum solo sucked balls. he's good, but he's a sloppy bitch overall. he should be taking lessons not giving them.

I don't think he's sloppy, that's just his style.

I dunno dude, I read an interview with THE GENE Holgan recently and he watched flo and said the shit he does is amazing. Coming from Gene I think that pretty much overrides anything anyone else says.

I caught the solo at the Bombshelter from like five feet away, and it was fucking jaw-dropping. The guy's a machine, but to play a drum solo that's actually interesting to listen to, now that's impressive.

I think that him releasing a drum video is the same thing as the Shadow's Fall guys releasing guitar vid's. "How to be as good as me" Granted the guy is an excellent drummer. But I don't think that he can teach anyone anything about the drums that a few entry grade lessons could not.
If you think that is bullshit.. than trying watching a Dave Weckl video. Most people wouldn't even be able to understand what the fuck is going on.

i'm with that guy

Dave Weckl is ASTOUNDING

I would rather watch a buddy rich solo...but without a doubt he is awesome.

what a show off
