Drop B has that sweet spot. Not sure if this can be done but a cool series would be taking chimaira riffs and playing them in different tunings. “What if Cleansation was in drop A” etc
off topic but Unearth basically rewrote the songs from the first few albums that were originally in standard B and converted then to Drop B and then started writing that way (in drop b) moving forward.That can't be easy to do to have to retrain your mind to play those songs a different way. They just said it sounds better live and the notes ring out better I have never really heard of another band doing this. Kinda cool. imo
I’m a sucker for the drop A riff. But I’m going with the drop C riff. It’s just the best balance of clarity, heaviness and tone. I set up my only ESP LTD electric guitar with drop C years ago and I never looked back!! Surprisingly the E standard version was pretty bangin!
Drop C was my fav out of this, but I honestly think B or C standard would be my goto for this riff, as I liked how standard was but prefer the timbre of something lower tuned.
I’m in a E Standard moment of my life… I just love the fact that it sounded heavier than the other tunings. If I had to choose another, Drop C/D is the sweet spot for me …
I think standard D is the sweet spot for heaviness and clarity... so I would probably have to pick Drop C here as the best sounding one, but the drop D sounded sick too.
Drop B just sounded the most pissed off to me, as much as C and drop A sounded great. I also think it has to do with the tension of the strings as well, medium tension just has a nicer mid range punch in my opinion
@@RobArnoldWorld response from Rob Arnold, 19 year old me hunched over my Washburn dime 332 playing "pure hatred" is validated. Shit 35 year me is buzzing too. Thanks Rob!
At this point in music. Anything that doesn’t sound similar. It’s hard to play in standard or even some drops without ending up playing a song that’s too close to another. Hence lower and lower. Anything you play rob has a great sound it’s all in the fingers and technique.. great content
Tough one. To me it came down to when the double bass of the drums kick in. E standard and drop b both sounded sick. Going with my gut...drop b. Had to listen multiple times. Sick riff Rob. Cool content concept. Do it again!
I think drop A sounded best! I spent years playing in Drop C (mainly because of your influence haha) but lately i've been addicted to Drop A# and i love it. Once you tune down, its just so hard to tune back up, but you need to find the sweet spot where the tone doesnt turn to mud, and for me thats Drop A#. Btw, I absolutely love this sorta content and I think you should do alot more videos like these :D Also those videos you did comparing the STL tones were sick as! Love your work as always Bro :D
Another awesome video! Funny enough, with every tuning the riff had a different vibe other than sound IMO: - In E standard it felt like an angrier, heavier version of Metallica; - In drop D it reminded me of a cross between Slayer and early Lamb Of God (Palaces Burn era to be exact) - The drop C version was instant Chimaira style (no surprises here 😉), seemed like a riff from the TIOR era! So chunky and heavy! - Drop B was still pretty Chimaira-like, IMO it had a groovy and stomping character not unlike some riffs on The Infection. Last but not least drop A was pretty damn cool too! I immediately thought of Fear Factory or early Meshuggah! Overall each one was very cool in its own right but I have a small preference for drop C and drop B versions, the riff sounded more heavy and menacing like that. The E standard and drop D ones vere very neat too, maybe more aggressive but less crushing. Cheers! 🤘🏻
@@el_t4931 not in this specific case IMO, it still has that unmistakable Rob riffing style feel! It quickly reminded me of stuff from The Infection that was in drop B (Destroy And Dominate or Try To Survive), still Chimaira-esque but chunkier and with the low mids more present. With this particular riff I think that it sounded best with drop C and B, even though drop D was still pretty badass!
Love drop B, but I'm a C guy. My guitarist plays most of our heavier stuff in Drop C. I'll never forget his reaction to hearing Chimaira for the first time 🤘
for that riff definitely drop c followed by drop d for me, I am usually a lower than those tunings kinda guy but some riffs shine more on different keys, higher or lower
For this demo, Drop C, Drop B coming in close second for me personally. I think string tension itself plays a big part in tone, and 11's just sound better in those tunings to me.
I missed your reply, in general…not saying from your video, most songs I hear in B or A sound like a bass… most do, like I said earlier, maybe I’m getting old! Thank you brother
I think I’ll go with Drop C. It’s my go-to tuning with both my bands on 6-string. So I always liked it and it feels like home to me in a way. I prefer it because I like the tension of the strings in D tuning and you have a kinda low end with the C.. so it sounds and feels really good! And man the RA-2 and the RA-600 must be some of the coolest guitars I’ve seen in my opinion.. and I really regret that I’ve never purchased an RA-600 back in the day that they were available and now I can not find one anywhere..😕
Ahh testing the waters on what tuning to use for the new album? Sounds good can’t wait! See ya then I’ll tell all my friends new chimaira is coming I’m so excited 🥲. Also Drop D sounded good, I expected C to be best but idk D just did it
Drop D fit perfect for that riff for me. I usually play in standard D or Standard C tuning on 6 string and A standard for my 7 string but always appreciate drop tuning as well.🤘💀🤘
I'm currently tuned to Drop A, but my favorites are Drop B and Drop C. Also, Rob, can you do a tutorial for Severed? (if you haven't done one already, if you have then that's fine)
All sound great, its the combination of the song/structure intention and motivation of the band thats behind it that determines the right tuning I guess. The tuning has to fit the music and the band basically. To me personally I find the D, C sharp, C, Drop C the most balancing between heavy and still be defined.🤘😎
I can guess which tuning is his favorite! Cause it’s the only one played on one of his customs the sick RA-2!!! Love your content brother! Been a fan of yours since 2002!!! 🤘🏼
I have a soft-spot that is comparable to 4-ply Charmin TP for a tight, heavy and chunky middy driven sound in Drop C and Drop C.. ( I may go ahead and tune up a half step if I get to play 😅). TO ME : DROP B PLUS THE KICK DRUM SOUNDED THE BEST!!
Drop C sounded the best. It had the best balance of girth and articulation. Hitting that low B was epic, but the rest of the riff had no articulation (probably because of the Amp settings). E standard was by far the most articulate, and it did sound heavy (which is surprising for someone who doesn't think E standard can be heavy). Then, drop C came in and took the crown.
Hell yeah, im like a 1 3 5 kind of guy, i play in e flat and drop d flat, but my favorite tuning is c. But you definitely showed you can get the grit in standard. Standard, drop c, and drop a are my favorites. 🤘🤘
Awesome video! I liked it in drop D the most in the mix the first time around. (I like the 7 in drop A but it’s not quite apples to apples.) Drop C was really close but after listening the 2nd and 3rd time it’s becoming my favorite. The lower strings give it the growl and it still snarls nicely in the middle with more room for bite. Videos like this make me appreciate my DigiTech Drop pedal even more.
Bro, Drop A sounds nasty asf man.. I also liked Drop B.. those 2 tunings just crush.. if you're looking for the heaviest tone, I'd go w one of those 2 bro.. Such a sick idea for a video too btw.. 🤟😈🤟
@@RobArnoldWorld Definitely a good way, wasn't able to justify/have a dedicated guitar for drop a for your early stuff, with a 7 string it makes it super easy. May just made me realize I NEEDED to.
Personally I go back and forth a lot between Drop C and Drop B most of the time. I love jamming to Mudvayne, Chimaira, System of a Down, and early Slipknot stuff.
I tune in drop b but in my opinion and perception this riff goes very well in drop c, sounds more clear and very powerful. Cheers from argentine Rob! 🤘🏻
I think it started sounding good and heavy at C. And I think you were for sure feeling at home when you hit the C tuning, you started moving the guitar and getting into the riff more.🤘

Drop D 😂 toss up with drop C and B I like ‘‘em all!
Drop B has that sweet spot.
Not sure if this can be done but a cool series would be taking chimaira riffs and playing them in different tunings.
“What if Cleansation was in drop A” etc
off topic but Unearth basically rewrote the songs from the first few albums that were originally in standard B and converted then to Drop B and then started writing that way (in drop b) moving forward.That can't be easy to do to have to retrain your mind to play those songs a different way. They just said it sounds better live and the notes ring out better I have never really heard of another band doing this. Kinda cool. imo
Drop D is the best sounding to me. It is clear, articulate, all while being heavy.
agreed :D
Yes... :)
it depends about string gauge you using
But, difficult to play on those heavy gauges. 😅
Drop D was the sweet spot with that riff and tone. If it was a little tighter drop C would’ve been the winner.
Mate they all sounded killer...🤘
The drop A sounded thick...
Drop C and Drop B sounded crushing also.
Drop D ftw, you don't need to lower your tuning so much to sound heavy, Lamb of God is the proof
That drop C is just what makes my junk vibrate. That's my favorite.
Drop D clearly had the best harmonic response
I’m a sucker for the drop A riff. But I’m going with the drop C riff. It’s just the best balance of clarity, heaviness and tone. I set up my only ESP LTD electric guitar with drop C years ago and I never looked back!!
Surprisingly the E standard version was pretty bangin!
Drop A would be my 1st choice and drop B would be my 2nd. The drop C was sick too.
I'm a Drop C kinda guy. That ESP RA 2 is one of the sickest guitars ever! Another unique and original video from king of content. Awesome Rob!
👊
For a second I thought this was Rob himself saying "I'm a drop C kinda guy" and I was thinking yeah no shit 😂
Drop D gives the clearest sound.
Drop C was my fav out of this, but I honestly think B or C standard would be my goto for this riff, as I liked how standard was but prefer the timbre of something lower tuned.
E standard and drop C were my favs.
I’m in a E Standard moment of my life… I just love the fact that it sounded heavier than the other tunings.
If I had to choose another, Drop C/D is the sweet spot for me …
It just sounds nastier for some reason
That Drop C with that amp and sig guitar was instant Chimaira ❤
I love Drop C and Drop A
I think all of them and bands should have 5 guitarists to cover all the tunings and melt our faces off 😂
Rob doing what he does best bringing the groove
👊🤘
I think standard D is the sweet spot for heaviness and clarity... so I would probably have to pick Drop C here as the best sounding one, but the drop D sounded sick too.
Drop B just sounded the most pissed off to me, as much as C and drop A sounded great. I also think it has to do with the tension of the strings as well, medium tension just has a nicer mid range punch in my opinion
Drop C just hits the right spots for me 🤘
Great riff, bro! You know I'm a D Standard guy... I'm digging the Drop C on this one tho. Surprised myself! Cheers, m'man!
🤘🍻
As someone who started playing in 2000. Drop C is always going to have a place in my heart
💯
@@RobArnoldWorld response from Rob Arnold, 19 year old me hunched over my Washburn dime 332 playing "pure hatred" is validated. Shit 35 year me is buzzing too. Thanks Rob!
@@andrewmorrison5289 Haha cheers brother!👊
Drop C is absolutely beast
Honestly I think it’s simply your right hand that makes ALL of these sound Heavy As Fuck 🤘
👊😏
Damn drop c sounds so pissed but drop d is where that riff really shined. Loved that outro tune
Thanks man! It's 'Mercury' from my solo album!
Drop C is great heavy but quite versatile when mounting in standard D and the Esp RA2 just perfect
Drop D on the 6 for tightness and Drop A on the 7. They all sounded great though. Awesome comparison Rob!
E std or Eb std would be for me. sounds heavy enough and allows some good melodies. a good bass helps as well.
Drop D and C have that extra stank. Gotta love it.
Drop c, has that dark sound but doesnt start to lose clarity, and still "chimes" on the open non muted chords
C and B have great crushing clarity
drop C and drop A for sure.
At this point in music. Anything that doesn’t sound similar. It’s hard to play in standard or even some drops without ending up playing a song that’s too close to another.
Hence lower and lower.
Anything you play rob has a great sound it’s all in the fingers and technique.. great content

Damn you made E standard sound so heavy!
💪
That was a pretty badass demo. I’m typically an E standard snob but that drop D just hit perfectly.
D and C are so good and tight. A sounds good too

🤘
Drop C sounds wicked af. Great guitars.
All of them were good. Was waiting to go even lower than that 😂😂
I’m changing my vote. Play it like this: 0:01 into 1:39 on a seven string
Fkin huge
for that riff definitely drop c followed by drop d for me, I am usually a lower than those tunings kinda guy but some riffs shine more on different keys, higher or lower
C and A were my favourites. Though for different metal subgenres I do prefer other tunings at times.
For this demo, Drop C, Drop B coming in close second for me personally. I think string tension itself plays a big part in tone, and 11's just sound better in those tunings to me.
I missed your reply, in general…not saying from your video, most songs I hear in B or A sound like a bass… most do, like I said earlier, maybe I’m getting old! Thank you brother
I think that drop D had the best sound honestly it sounded heavier than the lower ones IMHO .
Mmmh I really don't know!!! Everything sounds perfect!!!!
I'd probably have to say drop B was my favorite 🤘😎🤘
Mine too!🤘
@@RobArnoldWorld Some new Chimaira in drop B would be nice lol
Drop D
It's between drop C and B for me, drop C being my fav tuning overall. Nice video Rob !
I agree with this
I keep my 7-string in drop A most of the time, but that riff in drop B sounded massive and nasty while maintaining clarity and punch. Awesome!
Drop C is the GOAT. Awesome video
To be honest, that riff sounds good on every tuning presented! If i have to pick one, i would go with Drop B 🤘🏻
Epic riffage 😎
I think I’ll go with Drop C. It’s my go-to tuning with both my bands on 6-string. So I always liked it and it feels like home to me in a way.

Only one drop d rob❤😊
52's on drop D sounds so tight! But, playing on a 11-48 on standard is already a pain to play.
Drop D fit perfect for that riff for me. I usually play in standard D or Standard C tuning on 6 string and A standard for my 7 string but always appreciate drop tuning as well.🤘💀🤘
I'm currently tuned to Drop A, but my favorites are Drop B and Drop C. Also, Rob, can you do a tutorial for Severed? (if you haven't done one already, if you have then that's fine)
I'll keep it in mind bro!
You forgot the 2 best ones.....C# and A# lol. But I thought there was a certain something to the drop D.
Drop C for me, pure gold in my opinion.
All sound great, its the combination of the song/structure intention and motivation of the band thats behind it that determines the right tuning I guess. The tuning has to fit the music and the band basically. To me personally I find the D, C sharp, C, Drop C the most balancing between heavy and still be defined.🤘😎
I can guess which tuning is his favorite! Cause it’s the only one played on one of his customs the sick RA-2!!! Love your content brother! Been a fan of yours since 2002!!! 🤘🏼
👊🤘
Drop D to my ears on this set of headphones
I like C# a lot, clean but harsher growl and not too loose
I have a soft-spot that is comparable to 4-ply Charmin TP for a tight, heavy and chunky middy driven sound in Drop C and Drop C.. ( I may go ahead and tune up a half step if I get to play 😅).
TO ME : DROP B PLUS THE KICK DRUM SOUNDED THE BEST!!
🤘😝🧻
Drop C sounded the best.
It had the best balance of girth and articulation.
Hitting that low B was epic, but the rest of the riff had no articulation (probably because of the Amp settings).
E standard was by far the most articulate, and it did sound heavy (which is surprising for someone who doesn't think E standard can be heavy). Then, drop C came in and took the crown.
Drop A hands down!
Drop B is where tha first open chord of B started to breathe...
I play different tunnings, but it sounded best on E because of the crunchyness and metal brightness that is missing on lower tunnings.
Hell yeah, im like a 1 3 5 kind of guy, i play in e flat and drop d flat, but my favorite tuning is c. But you definitely showed you can get the grit in standard. Standard, drop c, and drop a are my favorites. 🤘🤘
Drop C for life!
Drop c and Drop A are my favorites for sure
I live in Drop A on my 7's. Been jamming out a ton of Frozen Soul.
Drop D sounded tight
Awesome video! I liked it in drop D the most in the mix the first time around. (I like the 7 in drop A but it’s not quite apples to apples.) Drop C was really close but after listening the 2nd and 3rd time it’s becoming my favorite. The lower strings give it the growl and it still snarls nicely in the middle with more room for bite. Videos like this make me appreciate my DigiTech Drop pedal even more.
That Drop C guitar looks pretty AF.
I'm beetween E standard and drop B
Bro, Drop A sounds nasty asf man..
I also liked Drop B.. those 2 tunings just crush.. if you're looking for the heaviest tone, I'd go w one of those 2 bro..
Such a sick idea for a video too btw.. 🤟😈🤟
🤘
In love always with drop D, Lamb Of God proves that.
D & C for me... I love clarity in my chords, riffs.
Drop B is the best. But A is also great.
Preferred C and B, however... D sounded tightest with enough aggression
Finally convinced myself to pick up a 7 string after seeing the reunion concert in May. Dove straight into dropped A and I can't get over the tone.
In a good way I hope!
@@RobArnoldWorld Definitely a good way, wasn't able to justify/have a dedicated guitar for drop a for your early stuff, with a 7 string it makes it super easy. May just made me realize I NEEDED to.
I'm normally a Drop A guy, but this riff sounded the best to me in Drop B
Drop B was the best sounding for me.
Drop C for me, but I think Drop A# would be awesome too
Personally I go back and forth a lot between Drop C and Drop B most of the time. I love jamming to Mudvayne, Chimaira, System of a Down, and early Slipknot stuff.
I tune in drop b but in my opinion and perception this riff goes very well in drop c, sounds more clear and very powerful. Cheers from argentine Rob! 🤘🏻
🤘
I think it started sounding good and heavy at C. And I think you were for sure feeling at home when you hit the C tuning, you started moving the guitar and getting into the riff more.🤘
🤘
Drop B makes that riff sound absolutely evil.
Drop B 🤘
absolutely loved the video! gorgeously vicious tone as always, LOVE that heavy drop b
👊🌮
I would say drop C
For me it’s between drop D and drop C. Drop C# would have been perfect
