The BFD Sphere Black Friday deal puts 69% off this BFD3 expansion pack, bringing it to $15 with the offer ending Nov 25, 2026.
BFD Sphere is a hard rock and metal expansion for BFD3. It was produced by Acle Kahney, the founder of Tesseract and 4D Sounds, and the maker describes it as his ideal drum sound.
The pack centres on high-detail 4-tom DW and Vibe kits, plus a Ludwig Black Beauty snare. Each kit comes as a natural version and as a processed version built to drop straight into metal and hard rock mixes.
The included snare carries Hit and Rimshot articulations only.
The sessions were recorded with engineer Francesco Cameli, whose credits include Bullet For My Valentine, Queen, Phil Collins and New Model Army. They took place at London's Sphere Studios, before the studio's relocation.
The drums were tuned to suit the acoustics of Sphere's live room. Neve preamps were used throughout, which the maker says adds warmth and definition.
Two drummers played the kits: Jamie Postones of Tesseract and Mike Malyan of Monuments. The maker describes both as highly skilled players respected for bringing a new force to modern drumming.
BFD Sphere is an expansion for BFD3, so you need BFD3 to load it. It is not a standalone plugin.
If you already run BFD3 for metal or hard rock, the processed kits give you a starting point that can go straight to the mix bus. The natural versions leave room to do your own processing in the box.
For anyone browsing BFD expansion packs on Black Friday, this one is built around a single producer's sound: Kahney's, captured in the Sphere Studios live room and tracked through Neve preamps.
