David Michael Draiman (born March 13, 1973) is an American singer and songwriter; he is the lead singer of Disturbed and Device. Draiman has a distorted, operatic baritone voice and percussive singing style. In November 2006, Draiman was voted number 42 on the Hit Parader's 'Top 100 Metal Vocalists of All Time'.^[1] Draiman has written some of Disturbed's most successful singles, such as 'Stupify', 'Down with the Sickness', 'Indestructible', and 'Inside the Fire'.

In October 2011, Disturbed went on hiatus,^[2] and Draiman worked on an industrial rock/metal project with Geno Lenardo (former guitarist of Filter), which was later named Device; they released one album, in 2013. In June 2015, Disturbed returned with a single and a new album, Immortalized. In 2018, Disturbed released Evolution.

• Apr 08, 2016  Last week, David and Disturbed were the guests on ‘Conan’, and they performed ‘The Sound Of Silence’, and they absolutely killed it. Well, I should say David killed it. There has been some critics saying that he may have used ‘Auto-Tune’ or studio tricks to pull of the intense vocals of this song.
• David Draiman says Disturbed’s cover of ‘The Sound of the Silence’ is a tune his parents can enjoy. Things keep getting bigger for Disturbed.The metal band’s cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s.
• But the auto-tune, pitch correction, whatever you want to call it, detracts from the song, IMO. I would rather hear a more 'human' performance, with human imperfections. It's not like a singer of that caliber is going to hit a real clam. If MOST people don't notice autotune, then MOST people won't notice if his voice isn't sine-wave perfect.

Early life and education[edit]

Nov 21, 2018 “The Sound Of Silence taught us that we shouldn’t be afraid of pushing the boundaries. We’ve been hungering for years, years, years to do material like what we’ve done on the new record,” explains David. “Some people just like the heavy stuff and they don’t want to take a breather. Apr 12, 2016  Just as an FYI, 'Autotune' is the brand name for Antares' pitch correction. It most certainly is not generic. Autotune's major advantage is that it.automatically. detects notes that are outside the pre-programmed scale and moves them to the closest scale pitch. Again, automatically. Okay, sure, there are way too many shots of David Draiman looking all David Draimany., but the rest of it looks like a R.E.M. Video from back when there were still budgets for these things. Watch Disturbed’s “The Sound of Silence” below.

Draiman was born in Brooklyn, New York, on March 13, 1973, the son of Jewish parents Miriam and YJ Draiman. His father, who was subsequently a candidate in the 2017 race for mayor of Los Angeles,^[3] and had worked as a real estate developer and small-business owner,^[4] was arrested for embezzlement and sent to prison when Draiman was 12. Draiman's brother Benjamin^[5] is an ambient/folk rock musician who lives in Israel.^[6][7]

His parents, while not personally observant, sent Draiman to Orthodox schools, where he believed he was on the path to receiving rabbinic ordination. Draiman frequently spent time in Israel during his early life.^[6] Draiman attended five Jewish day schools, including Wisconsin Institute for Torah Study in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Valley Torah High School in Los Angeles, California, where he formed his first band; and Fasman Yeshiva High School in Chicago, Illinois.^[6]. During his freshman year at Wisconsin Institute for Torah Study, he was asked to leave, as he 'rebelled against the conformity' and 'just wanted to be a normal teenage kid', adding that he 'couldn't really stomach the rigorous religious requirements of the life [there]'.^[6] Of his study at Jewish day schools, Draiman stated that he 'was a bit resentful', but he later encouraged his family to observe Shabbat and was trained as a hazzan.^[6]

Draiman later enrolled at Ida Crown Jewish Academy in Chicago, Illinois, and graduated from high school in 1991.^[6] From 1991 to 1992, he became romantically involved with a girl who used heroin and eventually committed suicide, which inspired the song 'Inside the Fire'. At 18 years old, on New Year's Day, Draiman attempted to do the same but woke up under a 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass nearly frozen to death instead. After detoxing, Draiman described a 'moment of clarity' and never did heroin again.^[8] He spent a year after high school studying at the Yeshivas Neveh Zion in Kiryat Ye'arim, on the outskirts of Jerusalem.^[6]

After returning to the US in 1992, Draiman commenced pre-law studies at Loyola University Chicago.^[6] In 1996, he graduated from the University with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Government, Philosophy, and Business Administration.^[9] Initially considering offers to matriculate and study at law school, Draiman realized that although criminal defense law was the only area of law that interested him, he could not 'really look at myself in the mirror and say 'I'm going to lie for a living and protect criminals'.^[6] During his university studies, Draiman also worked as a bank teller and in phone sales.^[6]

Career[edit]

Early career and influences[edit]

After graduating from college, Draiman worked as an administrative assistant in a healthcare facility.^[6] After his first year, he earned an administrator's license and commenced running his own healthcare facility.^[6] For five years before joining Disturbed and the band's signing with Giant Records, Draiman was a healthcare administrator.^[6] Leaving that position strained his relationship with his grandfather, a traditional Hasidic Jew.^[10]

Draiman said, 'the first record I ever bought was Kiss’ Destroyer. And those classic bands like Black Sabbath were my first loves .. I focused on the seminal metal bands like Metallica, Iron Maiden, Pantera and Queensrÿche'.^[6]

Draiman continues, 'But I could also appreciate the hair metal bands – When you hear Whitesnake, you can’t deny their greatness. Then I went in the direction of punk and new wave, groups like the Sex Pistols, The Ramones, The Misfits and later The Smiths and The Cure – that was my '80s'.^[6]

'And then when the grunge revolution happened, it was like a wakeup call. I'll never forget getting my first Nirvana, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains records'.^[6]

Personal life[edit]

Draiman is married to former WWE DivaLena Yada; they have a son, Samuel Bear Isamu Draiman,^[11] born in 2013, three weeks early after 23 hours of labor.^[10][12] Draiman is Jewish. In politics, he said 'I'm liberal about everything that is issue-based as far as ideology, but I'm also of the opinion of a very small government. I don't agree with the fiscal policies of the Democrats, but I certainly don't agree with the right-wing craziness of the Republicans.'^[13] Draiman was a supporter of Bernie Sanders against the Donald Trump candidacy.^[13] He also described himself as “a very, very strong supporter of Israel forever and for our people (Jewish people).' He described Roger Waters, and other activists, seeking to boycott Israel for alleged human rights abuses as 'Nazi comrades'.^[14]

Disturbed’s* cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence”** is unsurprisingly unpleasant… but the video for Disturbed’s cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence” is surprisingly beautiful***! Okay, sure, there are way too many shots of David Draiman looking all David Draimany****, but the rest of it looks like a R.E.M. video from back when there were still budgets for these things.

Remember, even if you’re just learning how to EQ, trust your ear!

Watch Disturbed’s “The Sound of Silence” below.*****

*Isn’t it really a David Draiman solo cover? The other members of the band barely seem involved and are largely absent from the video.
**Yes, it’s a cover! I’m assuming if you like Disturbed, this is news to you, because if you’ve heard Simon & Garfunkel than you’ve heard real music, and therefore cannot possibly appreciate Disturbed.
***So long as you listen to it on mute.
****That is to say, he looks constipated.
*****Or don’t. I mean, it’s not so pretty that you’d regret skipping it.
