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.
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 this channel is they'll touch literally every style of music. No judgment.
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.
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.
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.
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 🥹🙏

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
The “My Girl” gag got me good! Amazing tones and songs here. I love that you guys manage to make this just as much fun as your videos about funk, Primus, or anything else. Carry on, djentlemen!
Djent on bass is just so satisfying.
Clay's hybrid picking inspired me to finally practice bass with the pick, and oh boy it's a lot of fun.
I've never been more proud of my generation of musicians. I remember all the old heads hating on modern music as the mainstream was moving away from punk and grunge into nu metal and eventually metalcore. "It's all trash," "they have no skill," blah blah blah. Fast forward to today, and you have bands like Periphery, Animals as Leaders, Polyphia, Intervals & Plini who are some of my favorite bands of all time, and what they're able to do with their instruments just blows away what people thought was even possible 20-30 years ago.
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
You guys have great chemistry between each other. It's a pleasure to share a laugh and passion for music through the screen with you.
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.
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
