• The "proof that drop D...
The guys over at @rsdrumsofficial were kind enough to send over their new Fairview kit for me to test out. I threw it in this riff and it sounds incredible. Can't wait to throw it into some more mixes and dive a bit deeper. What do you think?
Guitar: Aristides 060R with Bareknuckle Silos

For everyone asking to hear this riff in a lower tuning, I redid it in drop F# on my 7 string!
Also, there's now a "Proof that E standard is heavy" so go check that out too!

I honestly love drop d more than any other tone. Coming from classic piano, Most of the time it isn’t about being heavy to me, it’s about the notes and tones.
Absolutely. It's note choice and how the progression as a whole fits together. Although I must say I'm pretty partial to half-step down tuning on guitar. There's just something really nice about it.
@@itsMEADOWS fantastic playing as always by the way. Love your tone!
@@snesmocha oh cheers, dude! I really appreciate that! ❤️
I prefer drop c in that regard, because of the low c it offers you like in piano 👌
I keep my acoustic in drop d. It's an Ibanez mahogany, an open strum fills the room.
Imagine this riff in G# 😅
I mean, my 7 is in drop F# at the moment. Sooo... 👀
yeah it would be like lower...
It would suck ass
It'd be a muddy mess. I can't wait for the lower is better trend to stop.
@@KalosPVPit all depends on the composition. Some riffs work better in lower tunings and some in regular.
The sound of the 90s for me was the sound of a low e string being dropped to D. I thought I was a guitar god when I discovered it
Same here haha. Once I discovered it I did everything in drop D.
I love drop D i think its so versatile! Used drop b for ages literally cause i was in a band and that was what they wanted, but may revert back to my 2008 Asking Alexandria days
Come back to the D(ark) side, my friend.
Proof that heaviness is result of writing, if it ain't heavy now it wont be heavy lower.
Creativity is heavy. That was a brutal riff!! 😎🎸
Cheers man!
Drop D never gets old!
How tf. Unfathomably good my dude
Oh thanks dude! I appreciate that!
Dillinger making E standard sound so brutal >>>>
Instantly subscribed, those were some nasty riffs
Thanks dude! I really appreciate it. 😊
Me: Puts on As The Palaces Burn.
I don’t do drop D, but I have been playing in D Standard almost as soon as I started playing guitar.
Hell ya brother
Cheers!
Beautiful!!!
Now that is a fucking RIFF! So sick dude 🙏
Thanks so much, dude!
Let's gooooo, subbed
Yo, thanks dude! I really appreciate it!
The old, "If your guitarist looks like this" meme holds true
not sure how I feel about that but fair 😅
Very nice riffing!
Edit:
Oh yeah drop d is absolutely heavy, it depends how much Heavy is the RIFF.
Remember that "Rammstein" by Rammstein is in E standard tuning, and is still one of the heaviest riffs ever made : )
lamb of god has been playing in drop d most of their career and I think most people would agree that their riffs (at least back in the AOTW era) were heavy as hell... great gateway metal band
*sweats in baritone*
I'm coming for you
Ive been playing in dropped A and G but Ive been missing dropped D and Dropped C lately. I think its time lol
Come back to the dark side, friend
I played in A or G when I had a 7, but I got rid of it
Now even my 12 string is in D and my schecter hellraiser is in C
@@raidzeromattyour what string
@@Rehaaaaaaan a 12 string guitar?
It's a Washburn but I'm looking at a gretsch since it's like a poor man's Rickenbacker
That was clean dude
Thanks dude!
Believe it
Believe it!
dude this sounds awesome
Thanks man!
If anyone wants to listen to a band that is heavy and has insane prog noodling and riffs in Drop D, The Helix Nebula is your band.
True
remmber when trivium released their most selling album Ascendacy that was played in DROP D?
Still my favourite Trivium album!
Opeth and Psycroptic are the two examples of bands with heavy drop D riffs that quickly come to mind
Absolutely. Both of those guys can crush it in standard!
Blackwater park is one of the heaviest drop d songs ive heard
Cool af man
Thank you!
D is the best imo.
The proof is in the pudding and that was sweet!
Thanks man! I appreciate that!
I love when i don't have to tune down ❤
Me too
Lamb of God: *exists*
A neat ride this song is.
Cheers!
If I’m not mistaken Gojira’s album ‘To Sirius’ was all (or at least partially) done in drop D, and Sikth’s song ‘Bland Street Bloom’ only had the low E tuned to C#. That was enough to convince me from a young age that it’s not about how low you go, it’s about how you utilize your tools.
Nice playing!!
From Mars to Sirius was in drop C and D standard. No drop D
Yeah, it''s definitely about how you use the tools! Plenty of heavy songs around in more standard tunings!
@@lred1383Wasnt it entirely in D standard? I think they started using drop C on The way of all flesh
@@jez_77 you might be right actually. Well, for the guitar at least - the bass on Flying Whales is definitely Drop C, the low notes being used in the intro and last chorus. I'm a bassist, so i looked at tabs and made the necessary corrections for that first, and just assumed that the guitar is also drop C. Apparently not, which i think is neat
@@lred1383 Yeah, even tho you can play Flying whales on bass using D standard as well and most of the song sounds just as good as with drop C, I agree that intro is much better with drop C. Low notes are much more deep and massive sounding, same with that very heavy last breakdown
Everything is heavy with a good bass sound
imagine this in drop g
nasty!🔥
Thanks!
Finally, a heavy metal song in drop D.
Heavy riffs come from within 🧘🏽♂️
holy shit, mclovin sure as hell can play
Hahaha. Not sure I agree with the comparison but I'll take the compliment 😅
Love it !!
Heavy is the best 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
It keeps on getting lower and lower
Watching all those great videos
Of people playing low made me buy an 8 string guitar 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Drop d is for early post hardcore era in 2007 - 2012
drop D is definitely heavy but i personally prefer drop A on a 7
I like Drop “C” 🤘😝
of he can play drop d that heavily, i cant wait to see him play b standard :flushed:
Haha. Well now I'm considering redoing this video in a lower tuning just to see how it compares.
@@itsMEADOWS sounds great, ill watch!
@@itsMEADOWS that would be awesome! Crazy riff 💪😁
i think lamb of god prove it earlyer
Shiiiiiiit sooooooo nice rifffffff
Thank you!
"Drop D isn't heavy" people are just forgetting that Lamb of God exists
Damn. So tasty.
Yo, thank you!
I actually like the drop D better than drop f#
Same here. I think it's because it was written to sound good in drop D, not F#. The harmonics are rich and colourful and the note clarity is really present. Dropping it down to F# loses a lot of the colour and clarity of the harmonics and the fast notes in general also lose clarity, but it does become more thunderous. Interesting experiment nonetheless!
listen to the melvins
Someone like SikTh
Entirely possible to make standard tuning sound heavy as balls too - Sylosis and others did it
Hey man. Do you mean their older stuff?
Monuments
Sometimes it’s not about the notes you have, but how you use them
Every time I die proved this with every album, shit protest the hero played in standard 😂
I'm a big ETID fan, always loved how chunky their stuff was while being in D
@@itsMEADOWS Jordan and Andy are the best 🤘
Two words: blackwater park
Cool plays! 🤘
Thanks!
Drop C, D standard, and Drop D are my GOAT tunings. Anything past Drop B is just mud city. Also hardly any melodic songs there, too, meanwhile 90% or more of my favorite distorted electric guitar songs are Drop D-ish.
I'd consider it a safe wager to bet that your riff would sound equally heavy in standard tuning. This more proof that your riff writing chops are next level.
Thank you! What a compliment!
@itsMEADOWS You are welcome. Though I see it simply as an observation. The emotional context of my reaction was another case of having my self-confidence fundamentally shaken, and being inspired on a subconscious level. An increasingly familiar experience for this old man. I'm truly blown away by the directions that the generations after me have taken electric guitar. Even if the hands it's in are few, they are more than capable. 🤘🤘
That's awesome. I love that you're still being inspired by the evolution of the instrument! Really appreciate your compliments.
Annnnd im subbed
Thank you! And welcome!
Damn bro would love to hear this in drop G
Well you're in luck. Just give me another week and a half haha
@@itsMEADOWS fuck yeah brother!!
So bad news, I didn't do it in G. I did it in F#. And it's up now!
Gojira : You called?
Fucking sick riffs! Sounds so tight. Do you perhaps have tabs for this?
Cheers man! I think I do, but I'll check for you when I get home from work.
@tarquinball sorry mate, I've looked through all my stuff but I actually don't have a tab. Shouldn't be too tough to figure out if you slow down to 25% though!
@@itsMEADOWS thanks man! appreciate the help though. I'll try
Now imagine how it would sound in drop e…. And slower 👹
Even E standard can be heavy. Listen to The End of Chaos by Flotsam and Jetsam. It's all about the tone.
😳 time signature for this? 👀👀
Just in 4/4!
Octaver helps out but the riff is gorgeous
No octaver here. Just a guitar in drop D, a good bass tone and some drums!
Gojira already proved this back in 2004 ^_^
Should have done Double drop d
Love palm muted chugs in drop D, it just sums up that 2010s deathcore sound
Yeah, so many sick heavy bands that barely tuned down back then
I think you mean metalcore
@@celestialgamingxd Both genres used the technique heavily, even straight up death metal uses palm muted chugs often
@@jakefairley6993 well yeah, but i have never heard DEATHCORE in drop D
I feel like it’s all about the aggression the notes have, like Blackened by Metallica is in E standard and it sounds more brutal than 90% of deathcore bands that just chug on the same 2 notes in drop G# through out the whole song. Or how old Sepultura’s stuff was played in E standard as well and they were heavy as fuck too.
imagine comparing metallica to a death core band xD
NOTHING IS HEAVY WHEN PLAYED ON A CUCK GUITAR
Who’s saying that it isn’t, is my question?!?
Anything can be hard in any tuning, it all depends on the arrangement
Nice shit🔥
heavy is in how you write, not in how low you tune
Nice riff and I have been in lots of drop A and drop G recently but just went back to drop D to play some Gojira also I subbed
Tunings have little to do with heavy it’s just the riff.
Listen to animus by monuments. It’s in D for some reason
When you remember that Lamb of God plays on drop D, this drop becomes heavier than it appears (this riff you played also remember something LoG would did lmao)
I'll take the LoG comparison haha thanks!
What makes heavy is the mix, not the tuning
the riff usually makes it heavy tbh. its all about the rhythm and syncopation first. then the chuggy chuggy after lol
you look like guitar ted nivison
Call me GuiTed
Lamb of god is drop D doesnt get heavier then them
Can't wait for this guy to learn of psycroptic
Imagine thinking I don't know about Psycroptic 😓
@@itsMEADOWS Experiencing Psycroptic live this year was fucking incredible. Highly recommend.
@@flohjo9015 yeah, i bet they'd be killer!
D is always heavy. Look at Gojira. Most of their stuff is in D standard and it can level buildings at a single chug. :D
Proof that bass does all the heavy lifting
You can't spell ADHD without D
That's true. Maybe that's why I'm attracted to this tuning
Drop D is definitely heavy. Although you won get the same timbre from a super low tunes guitar you can still achieve levels of equal heaviness. Also, try some inverted power chords to get reaaaaally heavy in Drop D. Great playing!
Thanks Robert! Yeah, different interval powerchords help a lot.
Drop d is the first tuning that made metal what is actually is
It's the og
Creativity/Riff writing vs tuning isn't even a fair fight tbh.
100%. Tuning lower will never be a substitute for good writing.
Dude even E is heavy as shit just listen to Sylosis's second album or Irreversible Mechanisms first album
Now keep the tuning but get 8 strings an entire step downnnn ooof
Geez, I don't think this riff would fare too well going down that low haha
DROP D the reason i play more lower
Play the same thing in standard D and see which one sounds heavier
Standard D? As in whole step down?
@itsmeadows yes standard but a whole step down the low string will stay the same then play the same riffs it will sound heavier this why korn sounds heavier their in standard tuning same with first slipknot albums standard tuning is heavier than drop tuning
already listened to lamb of god's ashes of the wake, don't need any other proof thanks!
I mean even e standard is heavy, it's all about how you play
It can be but you can't tell me that someone can make something heavier than Devourment - Obscene Majesty in regular old E standard we gotta be realistic here. Yes Ozzy and them guys were heavy but its not the same magnitude of heaviness
Just sounds like modern progressive lol
wait until they find out about C# standard and drop B 💀
also aint nobody arguing that drop d isn't heavy
Does anyone actually think you need to tune down to sound heavy?
Have a read through the comments here and you will see that yes, some people seem to think that haha.
