Electronic musicians, producers, and engineers looking to expand their BFD library will be impressed with the BFD Horsepower, a BFD3 expansion library with authentic mix-ready Americana-style drum sounds for a wide range of genres from blues and alt-country to garage rock and folk. Designed for a balanced of vintage and dirt and modern punch, the expansion includes a Gretch USA Custom kit, Sabian hats, and Zildjian cymbals.
Horsepower features stick and brush kits presented in two distinct processing styles alongside an unprocessed version, resulting in a total of six kits instantly usable and inspiring in a variety of production and song writing settings.

Processing and Treatment
- The personality of the sounds stems from drum treatment, mic, and processing techniques.
- Warm ribbon-mic room ambience is accompanied by several character-adding channels with saturated vintage tones, custom plate processing, and a unique trash-can mic for lo-fi dirt.
- Snares were damped with paper and tea towels with the rest of the kit left untreated and tuned to the room for an open and vibrant sound that effortlessly slots into your mixes.
