Description : BFD3 is the third generation of FXpansion’s flagship acoustic drum software: a new level of realism and innovative features in a redesigned intuitive engine.
With stunning new kits, pre-made mix presets, and modeling technology for toms and cymbals, BFD3 delivers uncompromising detail. The updated interface has a new mixer and a browser for sounds and presets, which makes working with BFD even easier.
The new BFD3 library is designed to provide a diverse range of drum sounds out of the box. Andrew Scheps, Rail Jon Rogut and John Emrich took part in its recording. The recording was made in 2 rooms to create a varied sound atmosphere, using sticks and brushes.

If u ever see a newer Battery around? Never had luck w BFD and even minimal libraries. But for velocity-mapped kit pieces and creating kits Battery was fantastic. The versions that are around each have issues. The Speedrum pkg is similar to Battery but a little slim on layers. Didn’t get far w Maschine, maybe expecting it to be more like Battery than it is.
Something I’ve noticed in your site recently is searched items are listing by date…… don’t know if that was a setting on your end or ???? It works again 🙂
thx man…….
how come these awesome drum instruments never come with factory libraries or at least a link to where it can be obtained ? it seems like they used to so many years ago. boo i say. boo
@zachary j pususta you got a good point there……. I think there’s a CORE library around but can’t find anything that tells whether you need that before other kits like XFL will work. No samples or anything in the base program either.
