They sometimes ask other people to come up with the beat and 808s for the track, which then gets translated by the Clays. I'm sure they must have a lot of input on the process tho.

I have no idea how you could even memorize all those snare ghost notes and cymbal accents. His cymbalwork is otherworldly. Clay is an absolute monster.

A big thing I love for Polyphia is just the attention to detail with every instrument, everyone is insanely talented and doesn’t overshadow and sit the background the whole time. Everyone compliments each other and its just a perfect blend for me. The technical skill from everyone is incredible and with the progression and evolution since Muse.. Damn.. I can’t wait to see where you guys will be at 5 years from now. Let’s fucking go.

The 4 of them are masters, but it's always cool to see Clay Ashliman playing alone ! It's a kind of magic👌

Unbelievable. Clay is a human metronome. Can’t believe how even the stick strokes are. Tight as can be. Almost robotic 😂. Absolutely amazing talent. Hope these guys stick around for a long time.

Luke was approached by polyphia to help write and record 6 songs on their album. Luke Holland wrote and recorded. Later it was changed by Clay Aeschliman due to what he felt was right for the song.And the fact that Clay was cool with this collaboration is way too cool \m/ .

I'm an amateur drummer who got to know Polyphia though Tim's apperance on Jared Dimes's end of year video, but man, when I heard the entire band I was mesmerized not only for the other music members, but especially for the drummer's work, as this kind of music and beat are not the conventional drum game. Congrats for your work and creation on the drumset to complement the guitar and bass melodies. Your cymbal work is marvelous! Thank you for the video

Amazingly simplistic and pocketed for how complex this music is. Majorly professional.

Drums, Air Jordan Retro 1 Highs, MJ himself, Coheed and Cambria and Polyphia... Me too Clay... Me too

I love hearing and watching Clay drum. His use of cymbals is quite unique to me and even with what I consider a rather simple drum kit, his beats are so powerful and poignant. His style is not about just speed, or odd times, or fancy electronic stuff, just raw talent and boy does it deliver.

The dexterity to do the bass and those hihats is astonishing to me 😮❤
