Bands in drop D

[Sikthness]

Psycroptic. This is all you need to know.

Some songs by Martyr are in drop D I believe. Maybe drop C# for some but could probably be played in Drop D.

A Life Once Lost. The Helix Nebula (one tab floating around I know of, but its fun enough to play that it deserves mention I think).

 

[BucketheadRules]

I'm pretty sure everything from LoG is in Drop D. Very enjoyable stuff to play.

Nah, a lot of the more recent stuff (certainly on Wrath) is drop Db.

 

[Goro923]

Pantera and Nirvana. Not all their stuff though.

I'm pretty sure Pantera didn't do drop tunings. If anyone of there songs is actually in Drop D (well, 40 cents below) it would be Primal Concrete Sledge.

 

[TheBloodstained]

Creed and Alter Bridge also used drop D if I recall correctly

can't remember anyone else! xD

 

[bouVIP]

The Sound of Truth and Parallels by As I Lay Dying are in Drop D

Billy Talent plays in Drop D and Gunshot to the Head of trepidation by trivium is in drop d

 

[Hemi-Powered Drone]

Nearly every modern metal band as well as a pretty heavy amount of the classics have used drop D if they don't tune lower on a regular basis.

Personally my favorite drop D riff is Slither by Velvet Revolver, first thing I learned and still fun to play.

 

[VILARIKA]

not blood and thunder.

 

[Hemi-Powered Drone]

BLOOD AND THUNDERRR

I'm certain that's in D standard, not drop D.

 

[bradthelegend]

There is a lot of metalcore to be played in Drop D.

Bands I'm pretty sure about:
The Devil Wears Prada (pre-Zombie EP)
Every Time I Die
He Is Legend
Underoath
We Came as Romans

 

[Eptaceros]

oh shit, how did i forget...GOJIRA!

 

[TheBloodstained]

oh shit, how did i forget...GOJIRA!

I'm pretty sure they are D standard

 

[Tarantino_Jr]

Sodom... not sure about this one

 

[Atomshipped]

TOOL.

 

[Ageispolis]

Trivium, the entire Ascendancy album. In Waves is Drop D flat, though.

 

[Eptaceros]

I'm pretty sure they are D standard

yeah, i guess you're right. I had a Heaviest Matter In the Universe tab that led me to believe otherwise.

 

[TheBloodstained]

I bet one could play most of their music in drop D though

I was working on a cover of Esoteric Surgery which I played on my RG2228 in standard F# tuning. Worked mighty fine. ^_^

 

[Sikthness]

I'm certain that's in D standard, not drop D.

Nope, I do believe Blood and Thunder is the one song in Drop D. Although off the top of my head there is not much reason you couldnt play it in D standard like the rest of their songs.

 

[chevymeister]

The lack of Opeth mention makes me cry.

Grand Conjuration.

 

[Ironbird666]

I went through the thread pretty quick and didn't notice Evergrey, they have quite a few Drop-D songs as well.

 

[JoeyBTL]

My band, Between the Lions.
