Clay is an amazing drummer. One of the things I noticed is how well he fits in with the rest of the music. He lets the other instruments shine at the right places but still does his own stuff. Killer player.

Composing drums for polyphia is a feat in of itself. The music/timing sounds so abstract it takes a special talent to pull it off like clay. It's seamless for such awkward rhythm.

The hi hat work always blows my mind

One of my biggest inspirations, this guy is absolutely amazing

That snare! Just perfect!

Definitely an appropriate channel sponsor for Clay, because one of my favorite things about his playing is his cymbal work.

Honestly might go far as to say Clay's drumming is the most interesting thing about polyphia in general....which says a lot

I love the way Clay play drums. Very creative. Another example that Polyphia isn't only about guitars.

This is literally perfect.

That chops was so godlike

He has the chops, and his technique is so cool and relaxed while doing all of it. This is a guy who knows how to play the fucking drums!
