More about this title

About the Artist: Disturbed

Disturbed emerged from Chicago's metal scene in the mid-1990s, building a devoted following through aggressive riffs, electronic elements, and David Draiman's distinctive vocal delivery. The band became one of modern metal's most commercially successful acts, known for their tight musicianship and willingness to explore heavier arrangements alongside more introspective material.

Why we love this

This TAB gives bass players access to one of modern metal's most recognizable bands without requiring them to transcribe by ear. The straightforward tablature format makes it practical for self-directed learners and group settings alike, and learning Disturbed material keeps young bassists engaged with contemporary repertoire that matters to them.

What to expect

Heavy and deliberate, with a foundation that anchors the song's darker atmosphere. The bass work carries melodic weight while staying grounded in the groove, delivering that satisfying sense of power that defines modern metal's rhythmic foundation.

Who it's for

Bass guitarists working toward fluency with contemporary metal, whether they're building chops solo or preparing material for an original band or tribute project. Players comfortable reading TAB will find this accessible as a standalone practice piece or as part of learning the full Disturbed catalog.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock into the kick drum pattern to nail the pocket; metal bass thrives on that synchronization with the kick, not on flashy movement away from it.
  • Pay close attention to any palm-muting or dynamics marked in the TAB; Disturbed's bass lines use muting to create texture and intensity shifts rather than relying on speed alone.
  • If using distortion or overdrive, dial it in subtly at first so the line remains clear and defined within the band mix.

How to use it

Feature this in a metal or contemporary music showcase, either as a solo bass performance or as part of a larger band arrangement. It also works well as supplementary repertoire for bass students exploring genres outside classical or jazz standards.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading bass TAB with accuracy and tempo consistency
  • Coordinating pick attack and muting to shape tone in heavy music
  • Locking pocket with drum patterns at moderate to fast tempos
  • Recognizing and executing dynamic shifts that distinguish sections in metal arrangements
