BFD Wooden Snares Black Friday deal: 69% off this snare expansion for BFD3, now $15, with the offer ending Nov 25, 2026.
It is a collection of five wood-shell snare drums built for BFD3. You need BFD3 to run it.
The maker picked five snares for their different materials, shell thickness and depth. Wood shells are favoured for a warm, fat, round sound, and the maker says each of these has its own character.
The lineup covers Canopus, Craviotto, Noble & Cooley and Gretsch snares. Shells are Maple, Cherry, Walnut, Zelkova and Elm. All are played with sticks.
The maker points to Metal, Hard-Rock, Rock, Pop, Funk and Jazz as the styles it suits.
That gives you plenty of room to shape the tail and the space around each drum.
The natural recordings are there to be shaped. You can dial in the room channels to taste and treat the snare as raw material.
The processed versions are mix-ready. The maker says they emphasize the transient attack, so the snare cuts through dense walls of guitars and adds weight to crisp snare rolls.
Either way, you can layer a snare with other drums from your BFD library and build a kit around it.
You need BFD3 and an internet connection for download and authorization.
A full install takes 23 GB of disk space. The "off" snares are 10 GB and the "on" snares are 12 GB, and each set downloads in 3 parts.
