Djent pulse · 4/4 · 100–140 BPM
0-0-0-0 bounce
Four even 16ths on the low strings, then a rest. Repeat. Precision over speed.
Djent is a mute and a clock. The rest after the burst is what people call 'bounce.'

The silence has to be as clean as the hits.
- 01
Fret nothing. Mute with both palms if needed. Four 16ths, then four 16ths of silence.
- 02
Every hit identical. Use a noise gate later — not as a substitute for the mute.
- 03
Accent the first of each burst only.
- 04
When 120 is clean, try 5-note and 3-note bursts against the same 4/4 click.
