FXpansion have released the awaited new version of their highly successful and insanely authentic drum plug-in.

FXpansion call it “The most powerful acoustic drum production workstation ever.” and they have every right. I’ve been using BFD1 for a few years now and reccomend it to anyone looking for the most authentic acoustic drum set plug-in available. The combination of unheard of levels of velocity layers combined with impulse responce reverberation were a match that gave BFD a level of realism that just hadn’t been touched upon yet when it was released. Since then FXpansion has been working hard to release some amazing drum kit add-on packs such as XFL, Deluxe, Percussion, and Jazz & Funk.

I don’t think it’s too much to say that BFD is directly responsible for changing the way we look at acoustic drumset plug-ins and their ability to sounds convincing, but it hasn’t gone without some stiff competition in the last couple years. There have been some other really big libraries released that have definitely given BFD a run for it’s money, but it looks like BFD2 is about to raise the bar again. And by raise, I mean launch the damn thing into space.

FXpansion have recorded an all new set of samples for BFD2 as well, so there are plenty of new pieces of kit to bang on. I can’t wait to check it out.
