What is BFD 3?
BFD 3 is an acoustic drum instrument based on samples of real recorded drums. It works as a VST/VST3/AU/AAX plugin in your DAW, and also runs standalone. The main product includes 7 kits recorded across multiple studios, a built-in mixer and effects, and a groove (pattern) feature performed by real drummers.
The biggest appeal of BFD 3 is the ability to freely expand its sounds and patterns with a wide range of expansion packs. Expansion packs include products such as:
- Stanton Moore Grooves (over 300 funky patterns)
- Virtually Erskine Grooves (12 styles including jazz, swing, rock, funk, and afro-cuban, over 400 patterns)
- JM Essentials Vol.2 (reggae, funk, disco, swing, rockabilly, nu-metal, punk)
Difference from the free “BFD Player”
BFD also has a free version called “BFD Player”. It is aimed at people who want to start easily, but it differs from the paid BFD 3 in both its included content and its expansion system.
BFD Player (Free)
- Includes a core library of over 5.25GB and 340 grooves performed by top drummers
- Simple, easy-to-use design that works as a DAW plugin or standalone
- Uses expansions made specifically for BFD Player (London 70s, Dark Mahogany, etc.)
BFD 3 (Paid)
- An upper-tier version with a large library and detailed mixing and editing features
- The groove editor lets you create your own patterns using drum rudiments
- Expandable with the BFD 3 expansion sound packs and groove packs mentioned above
Note: Expansion packs for BFD 3 (the BFD 1–3 generation) and expansion packs for BFD Player are separate systems and are not compatible. Be sure to check the supported version when purchasing.
