Which is better, Flo Mounier or Tomas Haake?
Flo Mounier and Tomas Haake represent two philosophical extremes of ultra-technical drumming. Mounier pursues the outer limits of speed and technical death metal complexity — *None So Vile* is his monument. Haake pursues mathematical perfection through polyrhythmic architecture — Meshuggah's discography is his monument. Both operate at the technical frontier of human drumming capability, but in entirely different directions: Mounier toward extreme velocity, Haake toward extreme rhythmic complexity.
