He comes from generations of Cantors. In respect of of his family heritage he does not have tattoos. He also removes all piercings when he goes home to see his grandfather. From what I understand, all the men in the group are very stand up and honorable men. No drugs, etc
He was very sick that performance with the flu still showed up Awesome goose~bumps performance!! I personally have seen them live just under 10 times ok 8 what a show!! Exactly what you expect and want to see and hear. Never heard of him being altered or wasted when performing 👏✌️🤟🤘 google him, not just a cantor/, heavy metal dude.
I’ve realized a lot of metal bands are actually stand up guys and very creative contrary to popular belief. Good people who want their voice heard and expressed.
No matter how many times I listen to David sing this song, half way through I'm brought to tears! It's not just the profound meaning off the lyrics or the sound of his voice. It's the feelings he stirs inside you. Deep down in your heart and soul you know what you just heard is Perfection!
His training has been extensive... Love Desturbed... Love David .... Am 81 yr old grandma... love all their music... but this one moves me the most. He was really sick the night he performed and the band would only let him perform if he would sit down... so that's why he's sitting but even sick WOW
After David draimen's classical training as a cantor, he trained with a woman to perfect his vocal fry without hurting his voice. This cover is a master class, take a look at the original video as well, very impactful. He just got out of the hospital the day befor with a serious flu, which makes this performance even more astonishing.
It's the way he transitions in and out of the vocal Fry so seamlessly with impressive control. He trained as a Cantor when young so he had an incredible foundation going into Heavy Metal. The best in his field who works with the best in Metal vocal coaching. This performance is quite a work of art all around and reminds me of Phantom of the Opera. You also have such a lovely voice my dear, I enjoyed your reaction✌❤😎
Disturbed is a HEAVY METAL Band, and they are VERY good at that. But they also have done many covers of songs that are not Heavy Metal, and they don't try to change them to Heavy Metal. They are just AMAZING. A Heavy Metal Band made this Folk song sound amazing. Just imagine what they have done with other songs. It is definitely worth the look. (IMO) Great reactions to this Cover. And thank you for sharing with us.
It's so cool when artists react to other genres of music. You get such interesting perspectives and insights. As a non musician, it helps me learn to appreciate the music on a deeper level.
He was sick that night, but his voice still wrapped around you in the beginning with a warmth and then he hits notes that makes you rise up from your chest!
He said in an interview that he had a lesion on one of his vocal chords during this performance. His voice is already amazing but that is mind boggling.
david told them NO autotune but they did it anyways. It sucked when i found out about it but you dont notice it and it only kicks in a few times during the song
The fact that he had a cold the night he performed this and it STILL sounded amazing says A LOT about just how talented he is. I never would've known he had a cold.
I love watching people discover this song! My favorite part of every single one is when the reactor stops commenting and just stares ooen mouthed at their screen 😊😊
I have listened to different versions of this song over the years. Also, in my opinion, his voice has been the only version that has resonated through my mind, body, and soul. It gives me goose bumps everytime I have listened to him. And I know by that feeling it goes through me deep insideBecause not even the original version by Simon and Garfunkel had that affect on me.
Conan remarked that during his performance, all the stagehands unexpectedly gathered at the edge of the stage to watch halfway through the song, a situation that had never occurred before.
I am not a disturbed fan as im not into the growling and screaming but i hsve to say that this performance is flawless and has brought me to tears a few times. His voice is incredible even after being in hospital the night before and still willing to go on stage because he didnt want to let anyone down. I have seen on many videos reaction comments that auto tune was used. I have heard the studio version and the live performance and there is no way this is auto tune. I wish there is a way I could show you how this performance wasn't auto tuned
He actually had a cold or flu this day. He took some sinus medicine and the show went on. This how David sounds when he's sick. When he isn't sick, well, he still sounds pretty much like this. 🙂
The Audio Tune your hearing was added to the west cost performance . David was pissed off about hearing they did that and almost didn't do the show because he was very sick with the Flu had a high fever. That's why he reminded sitting during the show.
The studio version is also auto-tuned. About his being "sick," that's not what he said. See his interview here: ua-cam.com/video/osBbQLhOp8A/v-deo.html
Can I just say I loved your reaction? First time finding your channel, so I subscribed. I love this version of this song. David can really sing. Obvious understatement lol. Thanks for the reaction!
One more live version of this song that you should definitely check out. David duets with Myles Kennedy (live in Houston). If you are not familiar with Myles you will be in for a major treat. Don't miss it. Myles is an amazing singer.
When Disturbed first started to look like it was gonna take off he went and got a vocal coach, because in the beginning he was frying the shit out of his voice, he basically said "if I'm going to do this professionally I need to learn how to do it properly" cos at one stage he couldn't so much as talk, the day following a show.
That is metal for you. I wish it is more represented here in USA. I grew up in the heyday of 80's and 90's metal. I know many opera singers even from my parents generation who prefer metal above all other non-classical genres.
indeed. we have an entire show about metal singing and the vocal fry as well as opera singing. its a cool show.. one of our first, check it out! ua-cam.com/video/KhtJ7R6ldA8/v-deo.html
These kinds of reactions are my favorite when someone who really knows about music recognizes the talent of these singers. I've known Disturbed since my younger years, mostly from the song Down With the Sickness, and I always appreciated David's voice. If you want to try something new, you can try Nightwish or just their vocalist Floor Jansen; for me, she's one of the best voices of our time. Maybe start with "Ghost Love Score". Greetings from Portugal.
@@themcsyoutubechannel I specifically recommend the Ghost Love Story performed by them in the Wacken 2013 Live video. Fun factoid, this was one of the LAST few songs of their setlist of 14 or 15 songs for this night in front of a crowd of 85k Mind ye, I'm not sure if that's 85k that NIGHT or 85k over the course of the show's weekend. Nevertheless there were MANY in attendance that night!
Simon and Garfunkel version fit the time and circumstances as a gentle reminder of what was about to happen. This version by Disturbed is the alarm, the warning of what’s happening today!!!
He is classically trained. You would be shocked to her the normal Disturbed music...haha. And he was really sick and had to be carried off the stage at the end of the song.
i think i read somewhere that since he was sick during this performance, it was decided to autotune his mic.... David (the singer) did not agree to this and was apparently pissed that it was done
Oh if ye want see vocal fry, check out Jinjer, specifically the "Pisces" Live Session version. Mind ye, while its labeled Live Session, it DID have some post done to it, specifically added some past vocal tracks to create some subtle chorus doubling of her voice in a few parts. But you'll still get a good feel of her vocal talents. Also recommend NOT doing any prior research before the video. Methinks ye'll like Tatiana's performance. Ye could follow that up with Tati's "Judgement (& Punishment)" One Take Studio Session to get a pretty good view of her breathing and throat/shoulders.
One thing, that many don't understand, is that David never unveils upper teeth, unless looking for a distortion. This is important for a male singer (not for a lady due different anatomy) - when you reveal the upper teeth you are compressing your voice (shutting larynx down). Only some distortion mechanisms need that, not when singing a pure classical sound. Just look at Pavarotti singing a well coordinated tenor C with a great vibrato - small mouth, no expression. That is the goal every singer should have.
@@michelleconcannon7584 Another thing that people don't understand is a "forehead wrinkle". For example, if we talk about Pavarotti or any great classical tenor, you can see that there is a point when these wrinkles come out. These are natural markers for using certain muscles, like the expression of the upper teeth (gum). As the goal is a wonderful strong voice without effort, one must learn how to use many small muscles correctly. I always remember one Pavarotti's interview where he said that "one technical thing required 10 years of learning...". Maybe a bit of exaggeration, however I guess >50% true. The great voice is build on small perfectly handled blocks. A difficult work needing a right talent.
Ah yes!! David Draimen is your quintessential rock/heavy metal vocalist, but he has such exquisite control of his vocals that it’s no surprise that he really does this song justice! It has to be noted though, for those unfamiliar with the band ‘Disturbed’, this cover in no way represents what the band usually sounds like - they are proper metal normally and Dave Draimen’s vocals are usually much more frenetic and utilises tons of vocal fry
And he was so sick during this performance! He had the flu and a fever of 102!!! They were so scared that he'd pass out that they made him sit on the stool. And he needed assistance to leave the stage. But still an amazing performance!!!
I think I read somewhere that he had the flu or something when he sang this. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm not. Idk if it would've changed anything if he didn't, but he sounds amazing.
Yes, he did have the flu, quite badly, and was layed out backstage, up until it was time to go out. He stated in an interview that he was feeling so badly that they offered him to reschedule, because he was feeling like he was gonna pass out. But, he just layed down for a while and went out and performed.
Again, when I wasn't looking, I passed through a wormhole to a parallel universe. When I first hear this Paul Simon song it was called "The Sounds of Silence." That's Sounds, plural.
David Draiman was trained as a cantor and comes from a long line of cantors. He wasn't very well when he appeared on Conan's show. Paul Simon, who wrote this when he was 23 said that this is his favourite cover. Simon's version is looked at being a warning to us. Draiman's version is what happens when we don't listen to the warning.
simon and garfunkle's version be a warnin and disturbed's version be the anger that the warnin wasna heeded also disturbed singer david draiman also be classically trained as a cantor
I honestly feel like this version by Disturbed is one of the best songs ever recorded 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Definitley is
He comes from generations of Cantors. In respect of of his family heritage he does not have tattoos. He also removes all piercings when he goes home to see his grandfather. From what I understand, all the men in the group are very stand up and honorable men. No drugs, etc
Thanks for praising him! He Family and Loves his with Respect!

Same ❤😢
His training has been extensive... Love Desturbed... Love David ....
Am 81 yr old grandma... love all their music... but this one moves me the most. He was really sick the night he performed and the band would only let him perform if he would sit down... so that's why he's sitting but even sick WOW
his vocal is not a joke, I always liked Disturbed but this cover made me speechless...
Gotta love classically trained metal vocalists.
I'm 74 and I truly love this version of one of my all time favourite songs.
I’ve seen Disturbed live about 5 times.. every time his vocals blows me away
One of the most incredible singers I’ve seen live.

The original was a warning. This was a condemnation.
Not many covers are better than the original....
This is one of them!
It's so cool when artists react to other genres of music. You get such interesting perspectives and insights. As a non musician, it helps me learn to appreciate the music on a deeper level.
One of the top live musical performances of all-time, in my opinion.
Definitely, and sadly I feel the crows didn’t realize what they witnessed. I would love to have been there
Definitely! Bobby Hatfield unchained melody, Beth hart and Joe bonamassa I'd rather go blind, would round out my top three.
He was sick that night, but his voice still wrapped around you in the beginning with a warmth and then he hits notes that makes you rise up from your chest!
Yea it does I heard he had the flu and even while being sick he did an incredible performance
He said in an interview that he had a lesion on one of his vocal chords during this performance. His voice is already amazing but that is mind boggling.
david told them NO autotune but they did it anyways. It sucked when i found out about it but you dont notice it and it only kicks in a few times during the song
The fact that he had a cold the night he performed this and it STILL sounded amazing says A LOT about just how talented he is. I never would've known he had a cold.
Tears
David went to school and was trained classically that's why he is so good. Please let your followers know. He's an artist just like you. 😊
Yes. He’s a classically trained Cantor ❤
I love watching people discover this song! My favorite part of every single one is when the reactor stops commenting and just stares ooen mouthed at their screen 😊😊
Down with the Sickness is their most popular song and has a lot of fast transitions between the grit/vocal fry and clean singing that you mentioned.
I have listened to different versions of this song over the years. Also, in my opinion, his voice has been the only version that has resonated through my mind, body, and soul. It gives me goose bumps everytime I have listened to him. And I know by that feeling it goes through me deep insideBecause not even the original version by Simon and Garfunkel had that affect on me.
That control comes his classical operatic training. Such an interesting, super-talented man. I don’t tire listening to him sing this song.❤
He is an awesome Rocker! You can absolutely tell he uses his music as a sort of therapy…. I think all the geniuses do!
David Driman is a trained Cantor. His voice is no joke. Incidently, David had a bad case of the flu during this performance.
Conan remarked that during his performance, all the stagehands unexpectedly gathered at the edge of the stage to watch halfway through the song, a situation that had never occurred before.
To hearing this song,and listening to your honest reaction, it’s just makes it ten times more enjoyable !!!!!! + your beauty !!!!!!!!
Best cover EVER. An epic MASTERPIECE ❤
great voice
He performed that night with a fever of 102 hence the use of the stool and still nailed it.
David is a insane talent! Oh he has the FLU during this performance!🤒 That's y he's sitting on a chair! 👏👏👏
He is a classically trained singer from an early age. The guy is just amazing.
Every time I come across your page, it brings me such happiness.
Amazing. Never get tired of hearing this. Great reaction too.
I am not a disturbed fan as im not into the growling and screaming but i hsve to say that this performance is flawless and has brought me to tears a few times.

Are you saying he was... Down with the Sickness ? 😂
Stop it! U ppl just repeat internet rumors 9ver and over like it's a race
..or your comment is needed! It's retarded!
This must be heard with the official video. It sets the mood perfectly.
The Audio Tune your hearing was added to the west cost performance . David was pissed off about hearing they did that and almost didn't do the show because he was very sick with the Flu had a high fever. That's why he reminded sitting during the show.

"Here we go, this is what I live for." YES!
Can I just say I loved your reaction? First time finding your channel, so I subscribed. I love this version of this song. David can really sing. Obvious understatement lol. Thanks for the reaction!
thank you so much! welcome aboard!
Other songs by Disturbed to check out, that reach out and take hold of you is "The Light" and "Hold Onto Memories".
He is one of the top 100 all time heavy metal Artists 🎉
💋🤟
Yeah, I would like to hear him sing.Please thank you
It says something when Paul Simon is very impressed and enjoys their version.
One more live version of this song that you should definitely check out. David duets with Myles Kennedy (live in Houston). If you are not familiar with Myles you will be in for a major treat. Don't miss it. Myles is an amazing singer.

Disturbed was a band long before they hired David as their singer. They hired him because of his amazing voice.
He is classically trained as a Cantor, but he went heavy metal with his band. Listen to Down with the Sickness and you will see his metal side.
He knows how to do that distortion sound and the R sound just right. The man is amazing.
Not only is he a classically trained singer, but he was also sick before this performance. A true artist
Two things, this live version was done when David was ill. Second, if you want to get a feel for Disturbed, listen to Down With the Sickness.
He did this sick as hell. 101 temp and nearly passed out before the performance
Wow I like your reaction to his singing!!!
❤😊 Down With The Sickness the official video ❤😊
That is metal for you. I wish it is more represented here in USA. I grew up in the heyday of 80's and 90's metal. I know many opera singers even from my parents generation who prefer metal above all other non-classical genres.
I would love to hear you sing this song !!! You have a beautiful voice ❤️🙏
They did a cover of Land of Confusion. And check out Hold on to Memories.
He's a classically trained Jewish Cantor
Even though he was sick during this performance I think it is better than the studio version.
Cool reaction. Thanks!
The lead singer was sick the night the were on Conan.
I personally feel it was a bonus to his already EXTREME voice.
Down with the sickness is definitely they're most famous song.
❤❤❤
Some once said that the original version by Simon and Garfunkel was warning - Disturbed's version is a threat.
He was sitting because he was so sick that night. Had a 101 fever if I remember what I read correctly.
Fry is the word for what his voice does in rock mode
indeed. we have an entire show about metal singing and the vocal fry as well as opera singing. its a cool show.. one of our first, check it out! ua-cam.com/video/KhtJ7R6ldA8/v-deo.html
I strongly suggest watching the video of this performance. He had a cold on Conan, and the visuals in the video are amazing.
Something to keep in mind, when performing this on Conan, he was very sick.

Reason to fight (official video) is an amazing song by disturbed and is a must
May I suggest Hold onto Memories!? It's a different vibe to this and their usual stuff.
He said he was pacing backstage because although he can comfortably perform live in front of thousands of people, the cameras make him nervous.
Awesome reaction, loved it!
He is classically trained. You would be shocked to her the normal Disturbed music...haha. And he was really sick and had to be carried off the stage at the end of the song.

He was trained as a cantor !!
You need to do video the light by disturbed
Thanks for the reaction! Eddy Vedder of Pearl Jam uses the reflexive R a lot. I would love to see you check them out.
David said he has been Classically Trained to sing
Everyone notices the strings playing here but guess what, they've always been there on the original video.
And he was so sick during this performance! He had the flu and a fever of 102!!! They were so scared that he'd pass out that they made him sit on the stool. And he needed assistance to leave the stage. But still an amazing performance!!!

He stated in an interview that he was feeling so badly that they offered him to reschedule, because he was feeling like he was gonna pass out.

El está totalmente comprometido con el mensaje de la canción y esto no pyede pasar inadvertido. Da la vida por pasar el mensaje.
Again, when I wasn't looking, I passed through a wormhole to a parallel universe. When I first hear this Paul Simon song it was called "The Sounds of Silence." That's Sounds, plural.
He was sick when he sang that...fever or something. Still a perfect performance.

He was sick at this performance.
simon and garfunkle's version be a warnin and disturbed's version be the anger that the warnin wasna heeded also disturbed singer david draiman also be classically trained as a cantor
David was so sick with the flu and so weak they were afraid he would fall so they gave him the stool to lean on.
Oh girl, you need to listen to Down with the sickness by Disturbed ;)
The colab we all needed was distrubed and bone thugs
oooo NICE!!
He is a classically trained musician
