The BFD Jazz & Funk Collection is an expansion pack for FXpansion's BFD acoustic drum software loaded with killer grooves. Recorded at Omega Studios, Maryland, USA, by a new engineering and production team, its sounds offer a whole spectrum of fresh flavours for your productions.

Sticks, brushes, mallets, rods and hands Most of the instruments in the collection are provided in stick and brushed versions, with selected pieces also played with mallets, rods and even hands! A wide range of controlled, dynamic articulations are featured, including some never heard before in a BFD library. Snare cross-sticks and brush sweeps offer new expressive potential for your drum performances.

The kits are recorded in a warm, bright-sounding room, using high-end mics and preamps chosen for their transparency and accuracy. The sound revolves around the sharp and dynamic direct and overhead channels, while the room and PZM mics reinforce it with subtle space. Brushed instruments possess a fluid, soulful intimacy while the crisp, full-bodied stick versions sizzle and slice through your mix with focused intensity.



A vast and versatile collection BFD Jazz & Funk Collection is centered around three beautiful kits - a Slingerland, a Yamaha and a 6-tom Gretsch. Several high-resolution hi-hats with closed, 1/4 -open, 1/2 -open, 3/4 -open and fully open positions are included, along with a vast array of Sabian, Wuhan, and Zildjian cymbals. Finally, a variety of additional kicks and snares further expand your musical possibilities: vintage classics such as a Ludwig Super Sensitive snare, a 1970s Slingerland 32" kick and a restored 1940s Leedy 26" kick are just a few highlights of the drums at your disposal.
