Tosin Abasi
Animals As Leaders
The architect of modern progressive metal. Known for his 8-string mastery, thumping technique, and complex rhythmic phrasing that blends metal with electronic and jazz influences.
SIGNATURE TONE
Hi-fi, percussive, and crystalline. A full-range frequency response that accommodates deep 8-string lows and bell-like highs, often achieved with split-coil humbuckers and compression.
