The identity of Slipknot's new percussionist, Tortilla Man, has been a mystery for a while now, but that riddle might finally be solved.

It appears the new drummer's identity has been revealed, possibly by accident, through a post in the band's merchandise store.

Slipknot kicked off a new, virtual pop-up store this weekend, and fans noticed Tortilla Man's gaiter was called the "Pfaff Neck Gaiter Face Cover." Here's a tweet with the original listing.

Pfaff? Last year, it was speculated that Michael Pfaff – drummer in Clown’s Dirty Little Rabbits – was the new masked percussionist. Could he be the guy? It seems likely, but there's no confirmation from Slipknot.

Since the original listing, the item's name been changed to say "New Guy Neck Gaiter Face Cover," so it's still a mystery. But perhaps closer to being solved.
