Florent Mounier[1] (born 29 June 1974) is a French-Canadian musician, best known as the drummer of the Canadian death metal band Cryptopsy.

He has toured Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia and the United States as a headlining act over the last 24 years, and combined record sales have reached over 300,000 copies to date.[2]

He is highly recognized within the metal scene, not only as a member of Cryptopsy, but also as a professional drummer and clinician. He is sponsored by Pearl Drums,[3] Sabian,[4] Vic Firth,[5] Evans Drumheads,[6] Shure (Canada) [7] and Billdidit.[8]

Along with his longtime stint in Cryptopsy, Mounier has contributed to other metal projects, including collaborations with Egyptian-American songwriter Nader Sadek, as well as death metal supergroup VLTIMAS, alongside former Morbid Angel frontman and bassist David Vincent and former Mayhem guitarist Blasphemer.
