An expansion pack for BFD3 with innovative percussion instruments by Swan Percussion and a suite of Crescent effect cymbals.

Swan Percussion’s original creations are inspired by a variety of world percussion: the Black Swan Drum is a new take on the Ghanaian gombe frame drum featuring a tom head, the Swango reinterprets the bongos and the Batudu is styled after Afro-Cuban batá drums, joined by a variety of shakers and cajons. The included Crescent Haptic series effect cymbals provide characterful crash, resonator, crash china and ride china sounds. Played variously with hands, rods, mallets and sticks, BFD Swan Percussion also comes with a selection of presets and funky percussive grooves for any style that calls for dynamic, exciting percussion.
