If you like acoustic drums, drum kits, percussion, and useful fx then you definitely need to consider BFD3.
I’ve been using BFD for years in various version, BFD2, BFD Eco, and it’s still my favorite drum plugin.
The kits sound so realistic and live, plus there’s plenty of ways to tweak with the built in fx, mixer, and groove engine.
Version 3 makes it easy to browse specific libraries, audition sounds, and the overall interface is very streamlined so you can get your drums exactly how you want.
I always loved the mixer view of BFD Eco over the drum kit view in BFD2 so I’m glad that BFD3 has the mixer as the main view, makes it so much quicker to adjust/tweak your sounds and I personally think it just looks better in general.
This is definitely something to checkout, as I find myself going to them a lot more than all of the various drum samples I own, just because of how real they sound and how easy it is to tweak.

I agree BFD3 is crazy very flexible, I use it all the time along with a Roland TD-20 V drum kit or with Maschine.
@Nomar, Nice man, I really love the sounds they put in BFD, been a fan for a long time. I’m sure it’s really fun with an e-kit 🙂
