BFD Player Expansion: Americana Brushes is on Black Friday offer at $10, which is 65% off, and the deal ends Nov 25, 2026. It is a drum expansion pack for BFD Player built around a Gretsch USA Custom kit played with brushes.
The maker aims it at grungy country, neo-folk and vintage rock. The pitch is a raw, dusty sound that stays away from polished production norms.
It is an add-on library for BFD Player, so you load it into the player rather than running it on its own. The maker says it is derived from the BFD Horsepower expansion pack.
That source material gets reimagined as a brush-played Gretsch USA Custom drumkit, captured in what the maker calls exacting detail.
The drums are all Gretsch USA Custom, and the cymbals come from Zildjian and Sabian:
That gives you a full five-piece kit with two crash options.
The maker describes the sound as moving from the smoky ambience of a dimly lit tavern to a dusty, packed stage, and says the pack suits spaces where raw emotion takes over.
It requires BFD Player 1.1.0. The maker states it is not compatible with BFD3, so if your setup is BFD3 only, this pack is not for it.
On Windows, you need Windows 10 version 1909 or later, a dual-core 2.5GHz CPU, 4GB of RAM (8GB recommended) and 2GB of free disk space. The maker recommends 10.5GB of free space if you want all the content installed.
On Mac, it runs on macOS 10.13 up to macOS 13 Ventura and is Apple Silicon compatible. The RAM, CPU and disk space figures match the Windows ones.
Brushed kits earn their place on sparse, close-miked arrangements where a stick kit would crowd the track. The maker says this one is for anyone chasing that earthy vibe, from seasoned producers to musicians just starting out.
Yes. The Black Friday deal takes 65% off, bringing the expansion to $10, and it runs until Nov 25, 2026. It is an add-on for BFD Player, so you need BFD Player installed to use it.
It is a Gretsch USA Custom kit played with brushes: kick, floor tom, mid tom, high tom and snare. The cymbals are a Zildjian A-Custom ride, a Zildjian A-Custom crash, a Zildjian K Dark crash and a Sabian AA hi-hat.
No. The maker states the pack is not compatible with BFD3. It requires BFD Player 1.1.0, so load it there instead.
Windows needs Windows 10 version 1909 or later. Mac supports macOS 10.13 to macOS 13 Ventura, including Apple Silicon. Both need a dual-core 2.5GHz CPU, 4GB of RAM (8GB recommended) and 2GB of free disk space, or 10.5GB for all content.
