Known for his distortion technique and possessing a tremendous level of vocal stamina for staccato passages, Disturbed's David Draiman is by my estimation one of the most unique sounding voices in mainstream rock/metal music. There's a level of drama to his diction and delivery that is far beyond most of his peers, be it in his signature distorted snarl or in his surprisingly poetic sounding clean voice.
Shout Outs: Big thanks to Seanblasted for the original voice type idea and Baronessa, IHateMana, and Falsetokaiba for additional feedback and assistance on the notewatching of this thread.
