No lie, the amount of sound space Clay leaves for the other members to play is increadible.

the way he creates space is unlike any drummer i've heard. it's always so difficult to get a drummer to stop playing for even one second in a song lol

I can say with all honestly I love this far more than the studio recording. The natural drum tones are so much more appealing.

I love how every instrument in this song leads up to their own 'final form' moment to a climactic kameyameya in my ears and that it works perfectly.

perfect song to demonstrate cymbals, so many dynamics and they're the star of the drums. Well chosen Meinl!

Prod. : So, how complicated can you make the drum beat on this song? Clay: YES

I could listen/watch this all day!

Wonderful tone and amazing drummer!!!

Clay! My dude! Always such precise playing man. Loved it. I've seen you live 3 times, but it's so nice to just see all the little things you do up close.

100% most flawless performance of anything I've ever seen in my life.

What an incredible drummer! Absolute pleasure to watch!

thank you meinl cymbals for providing the most amazing content and drummers

Love the stick click at 2:44👌

The technically of this song in all aspects is mind blowing. Some dude said that the guitar was harder than the drums in this song so I felt the need to say no matter what you’re playing in this song you have to be above average to play this. And that’s a understatement

one of the gifted ones. great work. impeccable timing. smooth flow. intent to deliver. 🙂

Leave it to Meinl to bring us an amazingly unique piece that not only sounds as good or better than the original recording, but is filmed beautifully. Amazing work! So glad I found this~

I wish the drums sounded like this on the album! Amazing.

Suspenseful.. when he rests a few beats I find myself anticipating him playing again

I've always been impressed by the complexity and the damn placements are just wow.

I fully appreciate how he is mouthing the drum parts like I do when I'm listening to this song in my car. Except you know, he's probably getting them right.

Love the emotion he put in this masterpiece!

FINALLY! I was trying to cover the song but now I know what to actually play!

He just kills it for me with the hi-hat everytime. And don't even get me started on the fills.... Played to perfection

Cymbal work like that doesn’t come along every day. Pure excellence

1:33 you can hear him vocalizing the music. Pretty cool.

Never thought he could turn his cross into sticks. What a holy man he is

The Speed is straight metal, his chops are straight gospel pop & his hi hat work with the 32nd notes is hip hop (and metal).....this is the new age drummer (just good at EVERYTHING)

The drumming and bass playig is what really makes this song great. That hat work is awesome, love how it has a trap feel.
