The BFD Maple Custom Absolute Black Friday deal puts this Yamaha maple drumkit expansion for BFD3 at $15, which is 69% off, with the offer ending Nov 25, 2026.
BFD Maple Custom Absolute is an expansion pack for BFD3 built around a Yamaha maple kit. It is a sample library, so it loads inside BFD3 and does not run on its own.
The maker calls the kit warm and refined, and describes it as one of the most advanced kits Yamaha has made. It is pitched at all genres, with pop, indie, rock, jazz, classic metal and fusion named as the main fits.
The pack is a download-only product, and it needs an internet connection for the download and authorization step.
At its center sits a maple Yamaha kit built from seven drums, made up of a pair of bass drums plus five toms. The tom sizes listed include a 7"x8", a 7.5"x10", an 8"x12" and a 14"x14" floor tom.
A reduced-detail Yamaha fibreglass snare comes along as a bonus. It is taken from BFD Signature Snares Vol.1, so you get a snare to build a full kit around.
This BFD3 expansion centers on maple drums, with a bonus Yamaha snare made of fibreglass. The kick was captured using two different beaters, and the toms with sticks, mallets and rods. Samples of the drum cases are included too, and the kit works across all genres.
The maker says the kit was recorded in studio conditions similar to those used for BFD Percussion, the Yamaha-based BFD Oak Custom expansion and the Mapleworks kits in BFD3.
If you already run any of those, the Maple Custom Absolute sits in the same family of Yamaha recordings. That is useful when you want kits from one source in the same BFD3 session.
The two kick beater types and the three tom implements (sticks, mallets, rods) give you different attacks from the same drums, so you can change the feel of a part without swapping kits.
You need BFD3 to use it. The pack also needs an internet connection for download and authorization, and 4 GB of hard drive space for a full install.
The retailer listing also shows compatibility with BFD Eco and BFD2, so check which BFD version you run before you load it.
