[Sako-Taco]

The real secret to why Polyphia kicks SO much ass is their rhythm section. The Clays are unreal!

[oswftt]

These drum machines are getting more and more realistic

[deylanengel]

Its actually insane how supportive his drumming is in all their music. Like everything he plays is literally perfectly fitting for the songs. I love it.

[MannyDemaga]

I can see why people think Polyphia programs their drums, this dude’s playing is just that clean 🔥🔥🔥

[terminusarms]

I hope they do this with every member of the band. I love this.

[a.pro.crastinator]

This is what i love about polyphia: their individual skill is on such an astronomical level, that their parts are not meant to show off, but to actually complete each other. That what makes a band really. And this drum performance shows what a smart arrangement is

[KiLLeRBison]

Tim gets most of the attention on social media, but every member of Polyphia is amazing in their own way. That video was simply incredible.

[GuitarmanIeuan]

The bit from 1:59 to 2:20 had me like... disgusted at how clean and good it was I can't even describe it...

[club]

Not only does clay have such good technical skill but his drumming is completely unique and has a voice of its own

[ppackers]

The way he utilizes the space between beats just elevates Polyphia's sounds so much. Sorry not a drummer so probably not the right technical terms but y'all get it.

my one year old daughter is obsessed with this play through after it came up on a playlist of mine. she calls it "bop bop" and watches it over and over, holding her little plastic drumsticks and trying to play along to the best of her ability (which mostly just involves hitting her mickey mouse drum as hard as she can and stopping to see what exactly you're doing so differently -- she does get the tempo more than you'd expect for someone who can't walk yet). she's never been this interested in something before, and i just wanted to say, while i'm kind of sick of this song after hearing it 20 times a day, it makes me giggle every single time she points at my laptop and says, "bop bop?" and then pantomimes furious drumming. she might be too little to say yet, but i think you may have inspired a future drummer.

[msketti]

So dope. On the studio version, the drums are mixed so that they almost sound TOO MUCH like a drum machine. Seeing him play through it live is very satisfying.

[randomname]

Clay is just on a whole other level. No one else plays like him, and I can’t wait to hear him on the rest of the album

[wolfingitdown]

It's so fortunate that we get to see such talented musicians find each other in a lifetime

[hyboirds]

Dude wtf... when that groove at 2:41 starts he just glues it all together. Ridiculously smooth.

[namaboku]

Clay does such a stellar job at finding unique accents in spaces within the composition that add a ton of interest while serving the bigger picture. What an absolute beast.

[justyouraveragehumanbeing]

they used trap drums at some points in the song, and this man just casually plays those parts without breaking a sweat, *he's actually playing god*

[Swollen_Goat]

TWO PLAYTHROUGHS!? Are we going to get a Scottie and Gober playthrough as well? I hope so. Also, you are amazing. Love your style. Hope to see you here in Charlotte in August.

[EmilianoGirina]

Finally a drummer who gives me the same kind of emotions as Mike Portnoy. Different style but same soul. Impeccable technique, great interpretative skills and impressive musical "phrasing" skills.

[daphenomenalz]

Both Clays complement each other throughout the song. That's the power of Clay²
