After one year of jamming out and establishing a fan base, Drop D added new members Trix (Jeremy Marquardt), and E (Erik Grunow) to complete two other elements of the sound; Grinding, in your face guitar, and Fierce, yet subtle vocals that complete a vocal sound that tears right through the mix to invade your head. The final missing element to the envisioned Drop D sound was Grinding, Hit you in the face bass guitar. This was completed a few months later with the addition of Kotz (Mike Kotzian).
