Get to know them!

The BFD Sphere Expansion Pack is filled to the brim with powerful drum samples recorded at Sphere Studios in London by a team of modern rock and metal experts. This thunderous pack features production from Acle Kahney (Tesseract, 4D Sounds) and hits by Jamie Postones (Tesseract) and Mike Malyan (Monuments), with engineering from Francesco Cameli (Bullet For My Valentine, Queen, Phil Collins). Performed on a 4-tom DW kit and a Vibe kit, and recorded through authentic Neve preamps for exceptional definition and warmth, each drum was tuned to make the most of Sphere Studio’s acoustics. Here at Sweetwater, we not only love the Sphere's convenient mix-ready presets that drop straight into your tracks, but also its flexible inclusion of natural unprocessed tracks that are easy to customize to your satisfaction.

Note: For this expansion pack, BFD2, BFD Eco, or BFD3 software is required for use. Please contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer if you have any questions.
