Drummer for the band Cryptopsy, Flo has toured Canada, France, Japan
and the United States as a headlining act over the last 6 years, and
combined record sales have reached over 250,000 copies to date.

Wherever Flo has played, his reputation remains the same; he
combines great chops with blistering speed and technical brutality.
Add this to an open mind approach that embraces different musical
genres, Flo has developed an even greater ability to enhance the
creative edge within his unique phrasing. His exploitation of the
Latin/Jazz approach has added an originality to his style that sets
him apart from the rest. Flo's speed and precision apply to his live
performances as well, and his playing continues to get even faster
and tighter. His delivery and execution of complex fills at abnormal
speeds will leave no one feeling indifferent.

His hard work has paid off as he is today one of the most recognized
drummers within the metal scene. Flo's style is an example to follow
for the new generation of drummers who wish to find out more on what
the discipline of extreme drumming is all about.. His drum kit is
one of the most impressive kits in the world, with a custom rack
created by Redge (Rene) Adolph.

Flo's style is the example to follow for the new generation of
drummers who wish to find out more on what the discipline of extreme
drumming is all about.

Flo's Extreme Metal Drumming 101 2 DVD Set is a well documented
experience in extreme metal drumming that covers such topics as warm
ups, basics of speed drumming, endurance exercises, techniques,
creative rhythms, and much more including different drum solos and
play along segments for some of Cryptopsy's most popular songs and
bonus material.

Flo is endorsed by Pearl Drums, Sabian, Remo & Vic Firth
