The BFD Signature Snares Vol.2 Black Friday deal puts 69% off this snare expansion, bringing it to $15 until Nov 25, 2026.
It adds five Yamaha signature-series snares to BFD3, BFD Eco and BFD2. They are recorded as individual drums you can swap into the kits you already have.
It is the second instalment of Yamaha artist signature snares for the BFD engine. The first volume is also available separately.
The maker says the snares were captured in similar conditions to the BFD Jazz & Funk and BFD Percussion expansions. The same goes for the ones used in the Mapleworks kits in BFD3.
Each snare comes with varied beater types, so one drum can cover a tight stick backbeat or a softer brushed part. The mallets and rods give you more options for quieter or less conventional parts.
The maker says the sounds sit well with any combination of other BFD library sounds. It describes the character as punchy and upfront, with dynamic playability.
In BFD3 and BFD2, the snares carry an extra rim click articulation. They also include a half-edge articulation, which the maker says is for electronic drum positional sensing.
If you play BFD from an electronic kit with positional sensing, that half-edge articulation is the one to know about.
