Get the BFD Player Expansion: Dark Mahogany for 65% off this Black Friday, which brings it to $10 until Nov 25, 2026. It is a drum expansion for BFD Player built around a Q Drums Mahogany kit.
The maker says the kit takes its cue from the mid-2000s California hard rock scene. It is meant to sit under a wall of heavy guitars and still lock in with tight bass lines and chugging rhythm parts.
The kit list is specific:
The maker describes the core sound as deep and woody, with the feel of a live take in the studio. The big 24"x18" kick and the two snares are the centre of the kit.
With a single rack tom and two floor toms, the maker says tribal-style, thunderous tom fills come easily.
The drums were recorded at Middle Farm Studios in South Devon, England. The maker says top-tier microphones and preamps captured the stone-walled live room, and that the machine-gun effect of repeated hits is absent.
The Zildjian hi-hat and cymbals are described as dynamic and airy, there to complement the shells rather than fight them.
There are five presets that the maker calls ready for spontaneous ideas, when you would rather skip mixing for now.
An original mix preset gives you the raw studio recordings. Once the song is written, you can use it to make your own mix decisions from scratch.
The pack also holds 348 individual grooves. The maker pitches the kit at hard rock, metal and pop.
This expansion needs BFD Player 1.1.0 and is not compatible with BFD3. Both platforms ask for the same baseline:
