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.
sorry but in my opinion I don’t like the drumming of this song, sounds like a song written by guitarists and the drummer tried to fit in. personal opinion
@@EtopiaCA A band always has a front lead. They've clearly chosen him to be up front on stage and in promotional material. It's usually the one with the most unique style or louder precense that gets put in front. Tim has this anime eboy thing going on which is good for a front lead nowadays. Even tho on stage I notice the rest of the guys speak more than Tim. But visually he's the lead.
@@yunakovc A conventional band has a front lead. This isn't a conventional band. In your opinion you see him as the lead, I doubt the band feels the same way you do.
@@EtopiaCA I've heard Tim being referred to as the front of the band by other UA-camrs. In the common eye he's currently the lead and there's nothing wrong with that.
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
The arrangement is why I'm blown away. The way he kicks into that fill in the middle is so mind blowingingly seamless. I learned SO much on just watching. Literally the way he hits the drum as though to start, but completely makes room for that opening lick from the guitars... AH!!!
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.
@@taylorpilewski that's understandable, I think that could've been the point however; when I think about how technical yet listenable the song is and the "image of perfection," the song makes way more sense to me (Playing God). I'm paraphrasing, but Tim Henson definitely meant it when he said "The music should be a means to an end" Definitely agree with the drums sounding a little robotic at times, but to me that speaks to the accuracy and adeptness of Clay 😁
@@taylorpilewski "overproduced" or not, you can't take away the fact he wrote, played and recorded it. I think the focus should be less on the production and more on the chops. It sounds like a drum machine because that's the tone they wanted, I don't see anyone ripping Tim Scott or other clay for the guitar tones they choose. :)
Kinda speaking about this: clay g is sounding more minimalistic, yet even more fitting, if that was even possible. I wonder if it is going to be a signature for this whole album, or is just a particular bass selection for this - also particular song - (remember we have nylon string guitars)
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.
I’d put money on the drum parts originating with Tim programming them, and clay bringing his programmed parts onto a drumset. They are so counterintuitive to what drummers do.
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.
another amazing drummer (that we may never see play again in a band any time soon) is Ben Minal (ex Toska). dude doesn't play as fast as Clay, but has that same "melody" type of drumming that just fits perfectly with the guitars, and dude plays proggy time signatures and proggy fills like he was born knowing how to. there are just so many modern drummers that are out of this world
@@will2461-j2n No way. Maybe if using something like superior drummer or Steven Slate drums you could get an ok sound. But the production here is as talented as the band members.
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.
his phrasing is really what makes this stand out and better than your EDM drum machine. There are quite a few covers that hit all the right notes, but don't sound good
@@TheKingoftheriff nah. His old songs were so good. The new ones were just made to impress the crowd. In his prime, he was one of the best in the world.
The way his drums stand out so much yet compliment the song so perfectly is wild. I’d love to see each guy in the band do one of these so we can see it come together.
That's basically the bands whole shtick, find the best musicians on each instrument and put them together. No vocals because the mastery of the instruments is the voice of the band.
@@mikedrop4421 much like tool or periphery, hard to find someone who could actually make these songs into songs with vocals and make the songs still good
I noticed one thing in common from my favorite drummers across all genres. Their style of play is more involved with the other instruments in harmony vs just being a time keeper
Appreciate these immediate follow up covers for the track. They clearly know the majority of their listeners are musicians who were fumbling and fucking around trying to cover various bits the past few days
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.
clay deserves every last one of his cymbals. his splashes, builds then subsequent chokes, bell hits...everything just sounds so artistic and creative. i had stank face the entire time fr.
This guy is such a monster, man. It's one thing to be as mechanically and technically proficient as this, but to be able to do it in a way that also serves the song. Unreal levels of skill, musicianship, and creativity.
I just love how Clay knows when to hold the drumming, not to overpower too much. It shows the spectrum of musicknowledge he has. Rhythm, pacing, every drumming pattern… just elevates this song to whole another level. Keep up with the amazing artworks my dudes.
The real is accented by midi stuff, but all of them are always playing the core hits/notes. This one guy thought time had a "delay effect" for the final solo part till he watched the real playthrough.
the patterns from 1:50 through the bridge into the second half, and those massively intricate fills in between are next level! I like the musical maturity of sticking to simplified patterns and crafty symbol work during the first half of this track, it really helps lend character to the second half on the drum side.
Imagine the absolutely insane amount of hours of practice, thinking about music, and refining your style it takes to get to the level these guys are on. The level of mastery and sheer creativity thats on display with this band is absolutely mind-bending.
Legitimately, Clay's drumming is some of the best I have ever seen. It's so tight. Literally. Absolutely insane precision, not to mention suspending the drumbeat in just the right places to perfectly compliment the ungodly guitar shredding.
These are new era geniuses with complex guitar playing and super cool drumming, super inspiring, thank you for giving such awesome music to this world ❤️
The timings, the pauses, the silences, the stretch of silence from one ride to the next, bro. I can't even fathom how long this took, but the arrangement is so fucking incredible. I would be so curious to see like, what goes into writing these arrangements. I know Tim Henson does it alot, but like, with how intricate the drumming has to be, I can't imagine Clay doesn't have a heavy hand in how it goes, ESPECIALLY considering how supportive the drums are, but how other songs, use, like, a drum rhythm, for the base of the song, so its just....Its so crazy. I couldn't handle being given this as a piece of music and being told, just wait for your timings. So complex, and utterly amazing.
It's so amazing and inspiring that it's not neccessarily the part is insanely hard, but rather the preciseness and musciality is what makes it so, so good. Lots of drummers can benefit learning to play like this.
This display makes me appreciate the whole of the song so much more, the precise timing of the drums & the THREE GUITARS in tandem makes this infinitely more impressive, It's unreal
Clay playing the hi-hats God. I've been searching this since the release. I knew Clay would need to make a statement because many reactions thought it was engineered. That's how perfect his playing is. 🙌🙌🙌🙌
The technicality of this track is just on a whole new level! It requires a lot of experience and musical knowledge to come up with something as good as this!
When I first heard Polyphia, Playing God was the first song I've ever heard. The guitars didn't took my attention, the drums did. It's just dope hearing those high-hats. Dopee!
I’m a guitarist but I can admit that this guy absolutely carries the band. I can learn polyphia riffs after a week or two but I seriously think that this takes a whole lot more skill to master
I feel like they all need to release individual play throughs of their music so that we can all see that they can ACTUALLY PLAY this crazy stuff lol. Mad impressive.
I love seeing all the other members of the band. I love Tim Henson and I know he's a large part of the brilliance in Polyphia. But ever single member is such an incredible talent they should all be showcased more often.
Can we call him the greatest composer in music history? I mean, that's basically how this guy works. Everything is so intricately arranged that it's like the drums literally drive every other instrument.
The real secret to why Polyphia kicks SO much ass is their rhythm section. The Clays are unreal!
the clays lmao
Two Clays laying down the nastiest rythms, we call that a potters wheel
@@Arms2 shout out to the potters wheel 🤘🏽 big love
@@Arms2 lmao
Late to the party... are they related? That would make so much sense why they are so tight...bass and drums I assume
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.
One of the main things of drumming is to play the song, and not override it. It's always great when that's happening.
Its insane how well arranged Polyphia's songs are. Literally everything plays together so well
They're not my favourite music, but I gotta appreciate their love to music. I love when drumming becomes more than just rhythm.
Yeah he has a really cool style
sorry but in my opinion I don’t like the drumming of this song, sounds like a song written by guitarists and the drummer tried to fit in. personal opinion
These drum machines are getting more and more realistic
I wish this was the raw take they used in the official song. Sounds so fuckin good.
Really cool that they come with the beard and muscles features now too.

Tim already has something like this on his own channel.
Kinda speaking about this: clay g is sounding more minimalistic, yet even more fitting, if that was even possible. I wonder if it is going to be a signature for this whole album, or is just a particular bass selection for this - also particular song - (remember we have nylon string guitars)
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.
Not only does clay have such good technical skill but his drumming is completely unique and has a voice of its own
His tick-ticking on the HiHat reminds me of Abe from the Deftones. Checkout anything from "Around The Fur" for some jazzy hi-hat clicking.
"LiL'JpD."
Yes, reminds me of Herb from Primus, except this music is genuinely pleasing to hear instead of being ironic.
I call it live trap drums 🥁
I’d put money on the drum parts originating with Tim programming them, and clay bringing his programmed parts onto a drumset. They are so counterintuitive to what drummers do.
@@WhyTheHorseface I can see something like that working method going on.
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.

Clay is so amazing he DOES sound like a drum machine ,His cymbals always sound like a machine as well Lol !🔥🔥🔥

I love how there's a clear groove through the whole thing. Complex, varied yet straightforward so that it's an easy but interesting listen.

Yeees. Imagine if the album was doubled. One half produced hiphop style, the other acoustic.

😕 You guys can't be that stupid can you? this is clay!! the drummer from polyphia!!
Both Clays complement each other throughout the song. That's the power of Clay²
the amount of combined talent in this group is illegal
Clay's use of cymbals and ghost notes are so incredible. All of the hi-hat stuff with the stacks blew me away. This guy is awesome.
I'm so glad we didn't even have to wait for a Meinl studio video! Thanks for giving this to us straight away a week after the single.
Man, I miss watching him play live. Everything just sounds so clean. Definitely one of the best drum machines out there, if not the best.

dude, i have been a drummer for over 25 years and this is simply incredible. you didnt miss a beat or a note. its perfect. im in love. congrats!
Clay is absolutely my favourite drummer. Incredible feel and such well written parts.
You leave so much space and air in the music for each other and make brilliant accents….it’s just a beautiful thing to see
i rlly love how Clay is so original and unique. Polyphia isnt polyphia without him
Clay is a name for someone who is a perfect mix of solid fluidity.
My GOD!!!! Seeing all that he actually does is freaking INSANE!!!!! GOOD SHIT!!!
What a beautiful use of the stack and splashes.

He didn't even fail to use a single cymbal or drum in this entire kit...
Now that's actually crazy.
& use it so fitting & flawlessly. A beautiful song..amazing
The way Clay A. and Clay G. match their attacks and releases to create an 808 sound/feel is dope.

Yep, that was insanely sick!
Only possible thing that could have made this video better was that bulls shirt 🤘🏼🏀
feels like Clay is the dark horse of the band, much as I love the guitar it's these drum playthroughs that really interest me
This sounds so much better than those electronic drums on the studio version
Love the song, but it is the drumming I like the most! It is just awesome!
its actually hilarious that when you look up the top 20 drummers of all time they are all old school drummers. Clay literally runs them in a circle.
Some of the most unique organic drumming I have ever seen
Ah man I love "Polphia"!
When I first heard Polyphia, Playing God was the first song I've ever heard. The guitars didn't took my attention, the drums did. It's just dope hearing those high-hats. Dopee!
I find myself listening to this more than the released version. The drums are louder here :3
I really appreciate that the drums are not overproduced. You can hear the nuances and dynamics much better than on the studio version.
I’m a guitarist but I can admit that this guy absolutely carries the band. I can learn polyphia riffs after a week or two but I seriously think that this takes a whole lot more skill to master
can confirm this guy is too good at drums. very few can cover his parts even close to accurately
So much musicality! Love seeing a drummer be allowed to do their thing.
I feel like they all need to release individual play throughs of their music so that we can all see that they can ACTUALLY PLAY this crazy stuff lol. Mad impressive.
I love seeing all the other members of the band. I love Tim Henson and I know he's a large part of the brilliance in Polyphia. But ever single member is such an incredible talent they should all be showcased more often.
This sounds better for my liking than the studio version.
Can we call him the greatest composer in music history?
I mean, that's basically how this guy works. Everything is so intricately arranged that it's like the drums literally drive every other instrument.
Why do the drums sound do much better in this play through than they do in the studio version?
It's a drum based video. They have just boosted the drum track to be louder than the rest. It's the way it's mixed.
Videos like this have made me a better drummer. I am forever grateful to those sharing their craft with noobs like me.
This dude has the metronomic abilities of Ringo with the virtuosity of Marco Minnemann. It’s extraordinary to behold.
I just love the intentional space that is created in this song. What a drummer!!
