FXpansion Introduces BFD Cocktail Expansion Kit

October 08, 2009

FXpansion presents the latest addition to the BFD2 Expansion Kit range: BFD Cocktail, a meticulous recording of a Yamaha Hipgig portable drumkit. With the usual high levels of detail, multiple channels and multiple articulations, BFD Cocktail is ready for you to sequence and mix using BFD 2.1's powerful software interface.

BFD Cocktail is recorded in the same room under the same studio conditions as the Jazz & Funk, B.O.M.B., JEX and Decatom expansions, as well as other Yamaha-based expansion kits. It has also been designed to sound great with BFD2's built-in library as well as with BFD libraries recorded in other locations.

New articulations include rim shots and rim clicks on the toms. The snare also offers rim clicks, with the stick version additionally offering flams, drags and the half-edge articulation, which can be used with positional sensing on suitable electronic drumkits.

Feature Highlights Include:

Low-cost, download-only expansion pack for BFD2
Snare played with sticks and hot-rods
Kick played with felt and rubber beaters
15 BFD2 presets in various musical styles

BFD Cocktail is the latest in a growing family of low-cost, high-quality downloadable expansions for BFD2. The range already includes the Yamaha-based Oak Custom and Maple Custom Absolute kits, Signature Snares, the strange and wonderful 8 Bit Kit, Sonica's authentic Japanese Taiko Percussion, as well as the BFD Decatom and BFD JEX kits.

Pricing & Availability: BFD Cocktail is a download only product and is available now from the FXpansion web shop.

BFD Cocktail is £25, €35, $50 for all registered BFD2 owners. Purchasing the BFD Cocktail Expansion Kit will entitle users to the upgrade discount on BFD Signature Snares Vol. 1 expansion pack!
