According to Mårten Hagström (Meshuggah): "There was this guy called Tim Stevenson. He had a forum called Tandjent Forum. He was an old-school fan. Me and Fredrik [Thordendal, Meshuggah guitarist] were really drunk after a show, and we were talking to Tim. Fredrik was trying to explain his guitar tone. Tim asked, 'Where do you get that chug from? What is it that makes it so special?' Fredrik said, 'You gotta make it go DJENT! DJENT! DJENT!' He was slurring and spitting all over the place."

The best part of Ian coming to the channel is the chemistry he and Scott share. The videos are just so fun to watch because they are clearly enjoying themselves.
@ifgwelf
The best part of this channel is they'll touch literally every style of music. No judgment.
@joninawhitecoat
Someone once asked Amos Williams what he thought of TesseracT being desribed as Djent, His reply... "I dunno, it's better than being called a c*nt."

Clay Gober has one of my favorite sounds/styles in bass. It’s absolutely insane to listen to and fail miserably trying to replicate.
@CruisingDuck294
if you like Clay Gober's playing you NEED to check out Antecedent by the Omnific, it's two bass player's and a drummer with a guest solo by Clay on the track

It's awesome that you're covering this genre. There are some amazingly talented musicians across this growing genre. Really great to see Simon get some love, too. Thank you for this.
@sp00g37
I am happy you chose Umanski, his work in intervals blows my mind with how fun, crazy, and melodic it can be. All of his techniques just seem effortless. His bass playthrough for 5HTP shows it
@EtoDemerzelSpaceBurial
Great to see Clay on here. I feel like he sometimes gets overshadowed by the guitarists in Polyphia. Not saying they aren’t amazing but Clay just blows my mind
@lionelsayada
You guys just chatting and breaking down all kinds of music and their relation to bass guitar is just lovable! So much joy spread from you guys 🥹🙏
@ifgwelf
The genre name is indeed a reference to the sound of the palm muting. A band that could be considered pre Djent is SiKth. Amazing English band. James Leech is a monster bassist
@michaeldebecker1472
Great video! The intro and outro showing Meshuggah pushes me to kindly request something: what about a video on Dick Lövgren, and his sick bass lines! He is such a beast, so technical and accurate, and sooo relaxed even when playing crazy lines. He is also jazz musician. His contributions to Meshuggah song writing are from another planet. Bassists community doesn't give him enough justice... One of my basses is permanently tuned to practise his lines. I am learning so much thanks to him.
@krasmazov009
Djent on bass is just so satisfying.
@databloom70
So great you guys covered Simon Grove! I've seen him with Plini several times and he's just so impressive.
@mitchjoel
Love how you guys choose Animals As Leaders... the band WITHOUT a bassist! 😂
@KevinRavensberg
Thank you Djentlemen for explaining what the hell Djent style bass sounds like, had a band member tell me we should play Djent with my 5 string low A bass.
@michaelprokopeck1941
You‘re absolutely right, Dingwall and Darkglass are the goto Equipment for such a modern sound. But there is so much more that you can do with a Dingwall, just listen to Leland Sklar. As a Dingwall owner I must say these instruments are very very special and of the highest quality.
@drawntothefire
Having watched Scott's videos since 2014 when it was just him doing jazz videos, this is such a change. I don't doubt that Scott's true love is jazz, but it's great to see him diversify into other genres these days despite it not being his "thing".
