FXpansion recently released BFD Metal Snares - a collection of premium metal-shell snare drums for BFD3.
"The snare drum is the center of the beat and it can make or break a song, " said FXpansion sound designers Drew Vernon and Mike Bugh. "The drums we chose are made by manufacturers like Sonor and Pearl that are renowned for metal snares that really stand out in a mix."
Each snare drum was recorded with 2 top mics, 1 bottom mic and 1 side mic, along with mono room, ribbon room, and far room ambience channels. Two additional stereo reverb channels were added to achieve a massive sound. The five hand-selected snare drums were recorded with wires on and off and are included in both natural and processed versions.
"We wanted to capture an array of excellent snares made from various metals like brass, bronze, steel, and aluminum that are full of character and offer huge sound. The end result is a collection of snares that punch and crack with clarity, cut through a mix, and are instantly usable."
