Meinl Cymbals - Clay Aeschliman - "G.O.A.T." 

Damnit!! My thoughts exactly! 😂

*Jesus

@@dalysbuschdrums Waaaaa, killer joke

Well his name is Clay Aquaman

I came to the comments just see if there was this comment. Haha

This title belongs to matt halpern☝🏻😂😂...when a cymbal isnt moving...hit it 😂😅

Tastefully I might add, no clutter just enough 👍

Best comment ever

😂😂😂

He turned drums into lsd

Lmao!!

LMAOOOO

agree. he carries the band in GOAT

Agreed agreed. Gotta pick saucy for G.O.A.T status guitar. And bad for G.O.A.T status band.

get goosebumps every time from the drums at the very end when it all crescendos

The perfect accentuation he does with the bass is, what makes the feel of the song. Guitar is great but the vibes is the rhythm here.

That bass line slaps. Guess bassists aren't that boring hahaha jk

So true...

If your not a percussionists in this day n age, you might as well join a Beatles cover band

Daniel Mihaylov Check out Matt's from Animals As Leaders

@@mido3ontheway literally was about to comment the same thing lol

David Mosher Matt is such a phenomenal musician haha

why tf this made me laugh

Yo I saw that and was just stuck and had to rewind it like 3 times just to make sure he did that! This dude is fresh as fuck.

I hear the stick snap and immediately recognized the sound. He was just showing off

@@Gvaz if i was that good id show off too

Holy shit I didn’t even see that, the talent in this song is admirable and this drummer is so good he almost looks bored.

what's even more impressive is he isn't even doing it to show off, if you notice in the studio version you don't hear it, there is a hang in the percussion and that is his way of keeping time. the composition of this is so tight that it fits right in though. like it's supposed to be there.

@Noah Mortola not really polyphia in particular, just music and videos I enjoy. It's a pretty cool way of interacting with people with common interests, though sometimes it gets pretty horrid haha.

@Noah Mortola He really is! I'm a big fan of him and alot of the prog guys (matt garstka, matt halpern, anup sastry). It's always so informative to watch these guys play and try and translate it to your own playing.

@@NickAcker Great to see you here man, this guy's got a great feel :)

Nick why is it that you have the top comment on every youtube video I have ever watched? :'D Such wisdom from this man

@@ArtOfDrummingHQ Clay is so great to watch! Always makes drumming those parts look way easier than they are.

I watched that and imediatly hit replay lol

@@ThisIsDumbImOuttaHere same looool

so subtle but holy shit it fits so well edit:spelling

Move aside Jason Bourne

@@stereosirenmusic994 hahaha, thought the same. He looks like Jim Caviezel a lot..

Dominic Borrelli he reminds me of Jason mamoah or however you spell his name

When I saw this it had 666 likes

The son of man did not come to be served, but to serve. \m/

I now wholly believe this person, shit's getting real

Everyone knows that covid kills us all in 2020

What a stupid and cringe worthy comment

@@hellodumplings8564 no dude it was funny

All this shit happened cause clay didn't do a playthrough of look but don't touch lmao

Wrong

They didn't on the studio releases, you can clearly see drum hits that are not heard in the music video version of this track.

Corbin Hohnstreiter got proof?

Jacob Foehrkolb I just saw them live. Yes they do, quithating

For anyone not getting this- it was a joke, I know they use real drums- as shown here. I was making fun of the people who say they only use drum machines, etc now. Polyphia themselves have a video with this title showing their drummer play one of the songs from the new album

His. Urwlcme

@@andychristian1621 mb, thx buddy

Reminds me of Steven Adler (without the drug induced psychosis)

God tier

some people may say he's all flash and ego but he's serving what polyphia and this specific sound need no more no less

Yeah for sure. The reason behind that is because Tim actually writes all of the parts

​@@colbyshannon6548He doesn't, though. He's said he usually puts together a basic drum pattern to match a hook or line he's written, and then turns it over to Clay to flesh out. He and Scott write the guitar lines together. Each basically writes their own parts, and they send them back and forth to each other to "fuck them up" until they have a deadline. Tim definitely gets and deserves the most credit for songwriting since the hooks form the core of their music, but the whole band is rightfully getting writing credits (on their newest album there is 1 track with no drums or bass that is only credited to Tim, Scott, and Brasstracks, so they're not afraid to credit accurately). Luke Holland also got writing credits on several tracks on RTYWD, but his versions are slightly different than the final product, so even then Clay didn't just learn someone else's lines.

You have it a bit backwards. He’s an extremely talented drummer that can do a multitude of styles. He is playing a drum track that perfectly complements this current band he’s playing with perfectly, but you could throw him in another band and he would slay that too even if it were anything from Black Metal to Jazz. His application of rudiments, dynamics, precision, use of space in the composition etc. point to him being capable of playing with just about anyone and excelling

Just to show he's a fucking beast with rythym

Necroing this comment but the most replayed part of the video. Love it. Love that everyone had to go back to it.

Yes thank you for noticing that too 😩😩 fucking amazing drummer forsure

Right, it's easily Tim ;)

Scott’s nose

@@Hoskins-pv2mu DAMNIT! You beat me to it! 😂

U r big gay

Home boy talkin' about Clay Gober on a Clay Aeschliman video

Andrew Marshall I watching through this and keeping track and I can guarantee he definitely uses every cymbal

@@ryanhenderson2388 I agree I watched quite a few times because I was blown away 😂

Kind of all he uses.

He doesn't play all like there's one tiny cymbal next to hi hat that he doesn't play but maybe that's cause he forgot to play it

He literally used every symbol just from 1:30 - 1:42 😂

Yeah agreed.

reference?

s0nspark Tim Lambesis

How many will get that haha

I seriously thought is was Tim at first lol

@@TitouanDebray Ha! :)

exactly what i was thinking. dude had to of been in drumline at some point lol

Cameron Bosch bruh played tenors

Relatable

Still fucken cool

I feel like most of the best metal drummers were in marching band. You can hear that influence all over metal.

his part is way easier. Everyone who doesnt agree has no clue

@@luisbeinstrong5419 "his part is way easier" - sounds like you are the one who has no clue...the drummer is insane

I'm not one to say shit like this, but here it is. Tim Henson is a visionary. Clay Aeschliman is a god. Scott LePage is the messenger. Clay Gober slaps. It takes a whole team of kick-ass dudes to pull shit like this together, and there are more than enough reasons this song is called G.O.A.T.

yeah true,hope scott and the two clays make it big here too

This whole band is on the cutting edge of polyrhythmic goodness

nah, they just forgot to plug his mic in the first time he played with them. he was supposed to be a drummer/singer.

JediNxf7 that’s why they didn’t plug it. They don’t want him to sing the words.

So do Roger Taylor

I honestly enjoy this new type of band, maybe it's just natural that we love something original right?

He has one but it isn’t used nearly as often as people would think

Alsaud Artworks this is not Tim.

@@DMRCapitalHill Yep, It's a joke dude, a joke lol

Probably due to too much bangin’

Hernán Andrés Noguera Hevia probably 😂

I thought they same thing lol.

Dope 🙌💯💨

Sonor + Sabian is the unbeatable

Love those brands too.

Doesnt matter. As long as the drummers good any kit will do

Gretsch-Zildjian is the way to go

Bruh

Getting there!😂

Dont worry it took me 3 years to learn the whole thing

Bilbo Baggins likes this.

It's not a cover, it's a live version. Actually, every video of them playing was a live perform. Hehe

Andy Christian he didn’t say it was a cover

Aidan Scroggins it's the unbeatable combo

Agree

Hoooold up. Ma Boi Gavin Harrison is killin it with Sonor

Rip matt halpern

@@jacobcox5536 naw dude. Halpern has mad chops. He could play this. He's actually played harder patterns .

You'd be disappointed

Garstka* and yeah, who wouldn't want that setup

He's said on multiple occasions that Matt is his biggest influence so it makes sense

And minus a floor tom.

Ill save typing that out now haha

It's a lot of people's setup

But more manly

🤣🤣

@Mr mans Great drummer, high quality drumkit, high quality microphones, microphone placement, and a really great audio engineer, it all adds up to the sound we hear in this video.

He does look like tim. But how is he more aggressive looking?

@@joeym.9868 well, I'm french so I wasn't knowing how to explain it in good english at all, but I mean he's face is looking less "angelic" than Tim for me, more "wild", more "animal", so yeah more "aggressive"

the thing is that tim is twice as big as him though

@@Ottoni174 power of steroids !
