How many DADG players?

[Micolao]

I play 90% of the time in DADG, it's perfect for me and I don't think i'll ever need to go lower than D with my darkrock band...

how many other people play this way most of their time?

I'm in...

I play EADG & DADG, DADG is soooo sweet, it has opened up some real creativity with our band.

We are about 55/45 DADG/EADG right now so I can do an instrument swap half way through the set if I feel like it.

I've always liked lower tuning but it doesn't fit all music so we jump around a bit

My band are in DADG pretty much all the time, unless we chuck in a cover for a laff. Doesn't bother me, I can adjust easily. The guitarist likes it that way, and it allows me to pull off some mean octaves under his soloing

I play dropped D tuning a half step down, so C# G# C# F#, on 80% of my original songs, D# G# C# F# and G# D# G# C# F# on the rest.

Playing a mix of B0-E1-A1-D1-G2-C3 and A0-E1-A1-D1-G2-C3 - really need to put Sperzel D-Things on my basses so that I can change tunings quicker. Sperzel stuff available at TK Instruments

Sperzel D-Thing and tuners on a sweet Dingwall Prima:






No affiliation, just think they work great.

I hate dropping only the E string to D, messes me all up so I just tune DGCF instead.

[greenboy]

I was doing that for awhile (though on a Five or Six), but found that for some songs/keys it was nice to have a different low note within reach for multi-stops/chords.

I play in drop d about 75% of the time.
