Electronic musicians, producers, and engineers looking to expand their BFD library will be impressed with the BFD Heavy, a drum sound expansion library that features meticulous recordings of a Yamaha Recording Custom kit and a Birch Custom Absolute kit. The expansion features 3 kicks, 9 toms, and a bonus Yamaha Jimmy Chamberlin steel-shell snare (borrowed form BFD Signature Snares Vol. 2).
The kicks include wood and felt beater versions, while the bonus snare and five of the included toms are provided in stick and mallet versions. Expressive articulations include rim clicks and rim shots on the birch toms, and half-edge samples on the bonus snare. Heavy is compatible with BFD Eco, BFD 2, and BFD 3.4 on Mac or Windows.
