Michael Pfaff (born May 17, 1980),[2] also known as Tortilla Man,[1] is an American musician, best known as one of the two current percussionists of heavy metal band Slipknot.
He was also a member of the alternative rock band Dirty Little Rabbits as their keyboardist with Slipknot bandmate Shawn Crahan.
Pfaff has been a lifelong friend of Slipknot bandmate Sid Wilson, who introduced him to Shawn Crahan in 2007.
[4] Following the dismissal of longtime Slipknot percussionist and backup vocalist Chris Fehn in March 2019 due to him filing a lawsuit against the band, Pfaff was quickly contacted by Crahan while working on his day job about potentially replacing Fehn, to which he accepted.
He took over percussion duties, joining the band shortly before the filming of the music video for "Unsainted", the lead single off of their sixth studio album We Are Not Your Kind, released on August 9, 2019.
