introducing the Djentstick
So some guy (a fellow named Miguel Yépez, apparently) took what a piece of wood, added a pickup, a string, and a few other items to create an instrument he calls the Djentstick. He then added some distortion and recorded himself playing along to the After The Burial song "A Wolf Amongst Ravens." Genius.
Does this prove that all djent style metal can be played using one string? Not necessarily, but I'm sure that more than a few songs could be handled with the Djentstick. Regardless, I guarantee that a few hundred kids would buy one of these if it was properly manufactured and marketed. This is a Kickstarter waiting to happen.
Somebody on Lambgoat's Facebook pointed out this video, where a guy did a similar thing with a hockey stick and Emmure. I guess that dude deserves some credit too, but he didn't have a catchy name like Djentstick.

stupid. should've panned the original and the djentstick so we could here what he was playing. for all we know he just faked it and eq'ed the song to make it sound like there was something else playing along. stupid, again.

Further proof that After The Burial, Veil of Maya, etc... are overrated garbage.
Too bad this shit isn't shocking the shit out of him. So dumb.
this played fretless which makes him more talented than the hacks that wrote this song.
What??? no whammy bar???? no whammy bar no care. JK great idea, the track sounds way better with the extra instrument. I bet it'll become the latest trend in hollywood and dave grohl will release a Djentstick album.
Misha Mansoor has tons of one-string demos he posts.
The Simpsons quote "i wash my back with a rag on a djent stick" is the best thing I've ever read on lambgoat in the past 8 years. Bravo

my little brother has a class with this guy. word is he does more than just cover shitty metal songs with that stick.
you idiots are getting trolled. he seriously taped a cord to a wooden stick and pretended that he was playing music with it and you guys are so fcked up you believe it
"stupid. should've panned the original and the djentstick so we could here what he was playing. for all we know he just faked it and eq'ed the song to make it sound like there was something else playing along." I thought so too until i watched it with actual speakers. you can definitely hear it, and it's shockingly acurrate
"Drummer plays Rush songs on Pots and Pans, proving once and for all Neil Peart of overrated and Rush sucks forever."
