More about this title

About the Composer: David Draiman

David Draiman is the lead vocalist and primary creative force behind Disturbed, a band that has shaped modern metal since the late 1990s. His work spans songwriting, composition, and vocal performance across multiple platinum albums, establishing him as a significant figure in contemporary heavy music.

Why we love this

This folio captures essential Disturbed material with meticulous TAB transcriptions that honor the band's signature guitar textures and rhythmic intensity. The inclusion of full lyrics, separate bass TAB, and 124 pages of content makes it a serious resource for guitarists studying modern metal composition and performance.

What to expect

Heavy, deliberate, and sonically textured. These songs balance aggressive riffing with moments of restraint, creating a dynamic landscape where distortion and silence both carry weight. The guitar work sits at the intersection of industrial influence and traditional metal power.

Who it's for

Guitarists serious about learning modern metal songwriting and performance will find complete, accurate transcriptions here. This folio serves intermediate to advanced players who want to master Disturbed's signature sound and understand how these compositions are constructed.

How to get the most out of it

  • Approach the palm-muted sections with precision; the tightness of attack defines the groove in these arrangements.
  • Study the bass TAB alongside the guitar parts to understand how rhythm and low-end work together in the mix.
  • Pay attention to the dynamic range marked in these transcriptions; Disturbed's arrangements shift dramatically between passages, and capturing those contrasts matters.
  • Use the full-color artwork and lyrics as context; understanding the lyrical intent behind each song informs how you voice and time the guitar lines.

How to use it

Assign individual songs from this folio as technique studies for students exploring metal idioms, rhythm intricacy, and tuning variations. The collection also works well for recital programming when guitarists want to perform contemporary material with serious compositional depth.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and performing complex syncopated rhythms in drop tunings
  • Mastering palm-muting techniques and dynamic control
