Some of Alice In Chains songs use that tuning. Listen forexample Them Bones or We die young... use that tuning. also disturbed, avenged sevenfolds and linking park have used this tuning on their song and many others... for a reason, IT SOUND GOOD :D. In your case it's not just the tuning because it may have only some strings on one tuning, but it may sound a bit better on some cases, like check the tuning Drop A or D standard variation - A-G-C-F-A-D... and compare that to "standard tuning" you may find it out. hope this helps :) -Emp
