recently I've been messing around with my distortion pedal and the drop D, but I'm still having trouble getting a good metal sound. any ideas?

Maybe technique...

All the same, getting a good "metal" sound is about more than distortion in "drop D". I think getting a good tone in metal is about getting clarity and a good range of frequency, just like any other "genre". Tone has a lot to do with how you play too.
