Drop C Bands

Sign in to disble this ad
Title says it all. If you dont like De-tuning and bands that use them, plase dont flame me or anything like that. I'm just asking people that know of some pretty technical or even just metal bands that use drop c to work up my chops, much appreciated.

Mudvayne - the end of all things to come, Lost and found
Machine Head
Lamb of god - some songs off wrath
Pretty much every band that plays in melbournes metal scene

I like drop C tuning, its heavy but not absurdly low.

Cheers,
Jordan

My band plays drop C, in the future we plan on just going B standard.

If you're cool with downtuning instead of drop tuning:

Black Sabbath, Sleep and Kyuss all tuned in C Standard.
