An expansion pack for BFD3 that delivers a unique set of concert percussion for film and commercial composition, progressive music production and creative sound design.

BFD Orchestral features orchestral bass drums, snares and hand cymbals alongside chromatically tuned timpani and concert chimes, sampled over one and a half octaves and well suited to unusual melodic lines. Highlights include suspended cymbals with huge decays, as there is no stand to dampen their vibrations. John Emrich recorded the instruments at Omega Studios using carefully selected high-end equipment to capture their dynamics and sonic beauty. All instruments are provided as individual kit pieces for building your own kits in BFD3 and fit into mixes of any genre.
