You know typically how you play the 5th fret of the E String to get an A, well, instead of playing the 5th fret on the E String, Hold the 7th fret, and tune the E to match the A, not the other way around, you'll get a D, assuming your A string is in tune, just use a tuner, it's easy. Another way, if you play more distortion and power chords, strum both the E and A strings and tune the E slowly down to it sounds good, like a D power chord, that's the way I do it, it's pretty simple

Drop D tuning is just like standard tuning except the lowest pitch string is lowered one whole step. Starting from standard tuning, simply tune the low E string down to D and you're set.
