you aren't giving us enough info to judge this -- the simple TAB notation does not provide rhythm cues. these TABed note patterns could virtually be played an infinite number of ways using rhythmic variations and yet be true to their respective TABs. can you give us standard notation, or at least rhythm-annotated TAB?
also, if it's in drop D, why not label the string as "D"?
