An expansion for BFD3 featuring two Yamaha birch drum kits and a variety of presets designed for hard rock and metal styles.

BFD Heavy contains meticulous recordings of a Yamaha Recording Custom and a Birch Custom Absolute kit with three kicks and nine toms in total, plus a bonus reduced-detail Yamaha Jimmy Chamberlin steel-shell snare taken from BFD Signature Snares Vol.2. The kicks come in wood and felt beater versions, the bonus snare and five of the toms in stick and mallet versions, and expressive articulations include rim shots and rim clicks on the birch toms and half-edge samples on the snare. It was recorded in similar studio conditions to BFD Percussion, BFD Maple Custom Absolute and the Mapleworks kits in BFD3.
