THE HANDMADE STRING IN GOOD HANDS. YOURS.

What they're saying about DDTs

"The first time I played DDTs their power and clarity reminded me of the first time I picked up a bass, started playing, and thought to myself, "this is what I have to be doing"."

  - Joey Clement, bassist, Selena Gomez

 

"The first night I put them on we were playing in a huge boomy shed of a place. All the instruments were echoing and muddy. Sound bouncing everywhere. The DDT strings on my bass made all the difference in the world. It was the most incredible, clear sound I ever heard. The bass cut through the sonic mess. These DDTs are the real deal. Not too many shocks after 40 years of playing until these strings. Awesome." 

- Bee Spears, bassist, Willie Nelson 

  

"I can't go back to regular strings after playing DDTs. Just the fact that they stay in tune better than any other strings we have ever tried, makes them the best all around strings out there. What is also great about them is the brightness of their attack, and the sustain we get with them on bass and guitar." 

- Coheed & Cambria

 

"Just when I thought my tone couldn’t get any better, DR comes along and kicks my ass again. The DDT strings feel great and sound even better.”

- Scott Ian, Anthrax 

  

"The notes are fuller, especially in the lower registers, than any string I have ever used and they make playing speedier parts effortless. I am amazed how long they last. In the 20 years I've been playing bass, I have never been this impressed with a set of strings. Anyone who drop tunes, has got to play DDTs."  

- John Campbell, Lamb of God 

  

"The DDT's sound amazing, super tight and punchy with a nice attack. We tune to C standard, and I'm able to drop my low string to A# with no tuning problems. You can really dig in without them flopping around or going sharp. You guys are definitely on to something good!" 

- Jeff Matz, High on Fire 

 

“Did not expect such a big difference in sound and intonation. Never have to touch my tuners during the entire show. Big punchy bottom.” 

- Brian Arsenault, bassist, Gary Allan 

 

“Playing in low tunings I always had the problem of getting a full tone from strings that were made for regular tuning, plus the floppiness of down tuned strings was always a problem too. But with the new DR DDT strings, the problem has been eliminated! They stay in tune and the tone is full. I recommend these strings for anyone who tunes lower than drop d, they are amazing! I love these strings! And I love DR!” 

- Dug Pinnick, King's X

 

 "Very positive experience with these drop down tuning strings… intonation wise, they were right on, perfect…" 

- Brian Brown, Guitar tech for Trey Anastasio & Tom Petty 

 

"Gotta tell ya, these are hands down the best strings I’ve played yet! I put on a set sat @ 3.pm, tuned em and went to do an outdoor show. It was 90 degrees out with 70% humidity and never had to retune during the show. Here in the South that’s unheard of!!  I’ve let some people try them, now everyone wants them.” 

- Pat "the scarecrow" Downey 

  

"Now I can play as hard as I want and don't have to worry about going out of tune or losing definition. These strings work great if you're tuning to "B" or lower!" 

- C Beattie-Hatebreed 

  

"I tried a set of the DDT's and they worked great, I tuned my guitar once when I put them on and it stayed in tune for over two weeks, incredible!!" 

- Michael Ostrander, Dept. Manager, Grandmas Music and Sound 

 

"Makes the gulf between DR's and everything else out there really obvious."

- Ed, Gelb Music, Redwood City, CA
