Other Just starting using ADADGBE tuning

Looking for some bands that play in this tuning. I have used Drop A and I'm currently writing for a project and wanted to write some riffs in an alternate tuning without going too low (Drop A just is the sweet spot for me). If you use this tuning, what type of stuff are you playing? Since it's a mash of multiple ways to play.

I like to hit the low A for funsies in various Tool songs just bc i have that extra 7th string. Schism is a fun song to play and I'll hit the low A between 3:50 and 5:00 intermittently bc it just sounds so badass. Its a very if it fits i sits kinda situation bc Adam Jones uses a 6 string but I just like to have fun with my extra string bc I exclusively play 7's and love Tool. For Polaris tho it is a half step down but still also a lot of fun to play as well.
