Grab BFD Cocktail on Black Friday at $15, which is 69% off, with the offer running until Nov 25, 2026. It's an expansion kit for BFD3 built around the Yamaha Hipgig portable drumkit.
The kit was developed together with drummer Rick Marotta. The maker says it works for all kinds of music.
The drums have 7-ply birch/mahogany shells. The maker describes the upfront sound as a fit for pop, rock, jazz and funk, among other genres.
Recording conditions match those of the BFD Jazz & Funk and BFD Percussion expansions, plus the Mapleworks kits in BFD3. The maker also says it was designed to sit well alongside BFD libraries recorded in other locations.
The library is built around Yamaha's compact HipGig kit. Sticks or rods can strike the snare, and the kick is sounded by either a felt or a rubber beater, so attack and body shift depending on the choice. Fifteen presets span several genres.
You need BFD3 to run it. A full install takes 2.1 GB of hard drive space.
An internet connection is required for download and authorization.
