The BFD Signature Snares Vol. 1 Black Friday deal takes 67% off a Yamaha snare expansion for BFD3, bringing it to $16 until Nov 25, 2026.
BFD Signature Snares Vol. 1 is a snare expansion for your BFD3, BFD Eco and BFD2 installation. It adds a set of Yamaha artist signature snares that you can swap into your existing kits.
The pack holds 5 Yamaha Signature-series snares. Each one is sampled with the detail BFD is known for, across multiple channels and multiple articulations.
The features, in short:
That gives you a lot of ways to hit the same drum without leaving the BFD interface.
The maker describes the sound as tight, precise and dynamic, and says it works across a huge variety of settings. That makes them candidates for swapping in when a kit's stock snare is not sitting right in the mix.
The snares were captured in similar conditions to the BFD Jazz & Funk and BFD Percussion expansions, and to those used for the Mapleworks kits in BFD3. If you already run those, the room character is described as being in the same family.
Multiple beater versions are included for extra versatility, so you can move from stick to brush to mallet on the same snare.
Beyond the standard hits, the snares carry an extra rim click articulation. There is also a half-edge articulation, which the maker says is meant for use with electronic drum positional sensing.
If you trigger BFD from an e-kit with positional sensing, that half-edge is the one to map.
You need BFD3 and an internet connection for the download and authorization. A full install takes 8.7 GB of hard drive space, so make room on your sample drive before you start.
BFD Signature Snares Vol.2 is also available if you want more snares in the same series.
