Description

BFD Heavy is an expansion for BFD3, BFD Eco and BFD2 featuring 2 stunning Yamaha birch drumkits and a variety of presets designed for hard rock and metal styles.

Containing meticulous recordings of both a Yamaha Recording Custom and a Birch Custom Absolute kit, BFD Heavy includes 3 kicks, 9 toms and a bonus reduced-detail Yamaha Jimmy Chamberlin steel-shell snare (taken from BFD Signature Snares Vol.2). Kicks include wood and felt beater versions while the bonus snare and 5 of the included toms are provided in stick and mallet versions. BFD Heavy's expressive articulations include rim shots and rim clicks on the birch toms and half-edge samples on the bonus snare.

BFD Heavy is recorded in similar studio conditions as BFD Percussion, other FXpansion Yamaha-based expansions such as BFD Maple Custom Absolute and the Mapleworks kits in BFD3.

    Don’t be fooled by the name

    Yes, the factory presets lean metal, but the raw recordings are modern, clean, and versatile—think two tight, bright birch (Yamaha-style) kits with fast attack, solid low end, and detailed close/overhead capture.

    I built a kit using Heavy shells with Stanton Moore Bosphorus cymbals, then dropped it onto a Jazz & Funk preset (kept the J&F mix scaffold). Result: super musical, classy, and tight—nothing “genre-locked” about it. It handled lighter grooves and a boogie intro beautifully, then scaled up when the full band hit.

    Bottom line: a genuinely useful, modern kit source even if you never mix metal.
