FXpansion has released the BFD Deluxe Collection, the third expansion pack for their BFD premium acoustic drum module. The Deluxe Collection was tracked at Steve Albini's Electrical Audio studio facility in Chicago and contains some of the most sought-after drums and cymbals of all time, recorded at up to 127 velocity layers in pristine detail.

Artist Master Class - Marcus Miller

The room in which the session was recorded is smaller and more up-front than the Eldorado room used in BFD and BFD XFL, giving the Deluxe Collection an extremely punchy and defined sound. The recording techniques employed also contribute hugely to the sound and character of the pack. Such esoteric microphones as the Josephson e22, c42 and c609, Royer R122 and the fabled Altec 150 'coke bottles' were used.

BFD Deluxe Collection is available now and costs $249. Audio demos and kit listing are available from the FXpansion website.

NOTE: As this is an expansion pack you must already own BFD.
