An expansion for BFD3 with authentic, mix-ready Americana-style drum sounds for a wide range of genres from blues and alt-country to garage rock and folk.

The Gretsch USA Custom kit, Sabian hats and Zildjian cymbals are recorded with a balance between vintage dirt and modern punch. The stick and brush kits are presented in two distinct processing styles alongside an unprocessed version, a total of six instantly usable kits with high levels of detail for playability with electronic drums. The character comes from drum treatment, mic and processing techniques: warm ribbon-mic room ambience, several character channels with saturated vintage tones, custom plate processing and even a trash can mic for lo-fi dirt. Snares were damped with paper and tea towels while the rest of the kit was left untreated and tuned to the room for an open, vibrant sound that slots easily into your mixes.
