Drumdrops has released the Vintage Funk Kit BFD Pack. It is designed to allow users to recreate drum sounds from the 70s. It was recorded with the help of Jan Kincaid (Brand New Heavies) at the Ironworks studio in Brighton, UK by Mike Pelanconi.

Percussion for this kit includes cowbell, tambourine and a shaker.
