FXpansion BFD Jazz & Funk at a Glance:

• Instruments sampled with sticks and brushes
  
• Recorded in a great sounding room
  
• Four different kits and a vast array of cymbals

Instruments sampled with sticks and brushes
Most of the instruments in BFD Jazz & Funk are provided in stick and brushed versions, with selected pieces also played with mallets, rods and even hands! A wide range of controlled, dynamic articulations are featured, including some never heard before in a BFD library. BFD Jazz & Funk's snare cross-sticks and brush sweeps offer new expressive potential for your drum performances.

Recorded in a great sounding room
The kits in BFD Jazz & Funk are recorded in a warm, bright-sounding room, using high-end mics and preamps chosen for their transparency and accuracy. The sound revolves around the sharp and dynamic direct and overhead channels, while the room and PZM mics reinforce it with subtle space. Brushed instruments possess a fluid, soulful intimacy while the crisp, full-bodied stick versions sizzle and slice through your mix with focused intensity.

Four different kits and a vast array of cymbals
BFD Jazz & Funk Collection is centered around four beautiful kits - a Slingerland, a Yamaha and two Gretsch kits. Several high-resolution hi-hats with closed, 1/4-open, 1/2-open, 3/4-open and fully open positions are included, along with a vast array of Sabian, Wuhan and Zildjian cymbals. Finally, a variety of additional kicks and snares further expand your musical possibilities: vintage classics such as a Ludwig Super Sensitive snare, a 1970s Slingerland 32" kick and a restored 1940s Leedy 26" kick are just a few highlights of the drums at your disposal.
