I agree with the people who said he uses DR, even though I didn't know for sure. But everyone uses DR's. For a small company in New Jersey I didn't know you could get them in Finland?

Doesn't all that tuning change make Janne's work a lot harder?

Not if you get used to it I suppose, But thats one of the main reasons I'm alsoways in Standard, so I can incorporate synth into shit. I find its not too hard if you really know your shit, but when I was jammign with some people who were used to 1step down They woudl give me the notes and chords to play adn I would always get confused and fuck up. THen again I fuck up playing anythign ahaha.

I personnaly think you don't need to tune down to sound heavy, you can sound just as heavy in standard then with anything. Most disagree

 

[Heavenscent]

you can even sound heavy in F. Or at least you can sound heavy metal in F

You can sound heavy metal in any tuning. Check out Megadeth fro example.
