Hey guys,

Ive had my eyes on BFD2 for a long time, and finally i decided to go and buy it today, and im very happy i did.
It's a little pricey, but the sound is amazing. It takes up 55gb of hardisk space so i had to clean up a bit
5 dvd's took about 1 hour then installation was complete, everything was smooth.

Anyway i havent tested it to the full yet, but i put together a few recordings using it so you have an idea how it sounds. I havent tweaked anything just standard presets. I can recommend it if your going for the realistc acoustic drum sound.

Have a listen

Nice sound, congratulations man.

Thanks for the review Siggum

Very nice sound!!

And what software do you use for the Yeehaaw sounds?

Posted by: Siggum May 11 2008, 09:05 AM

Thanks Paal, i used a sample from an etnic libary for this one. I'm getting the hang of BFD2 slowly and it really proves to be worth it, loads of tweaks and settings to get just that sound your looking for

Sounds great
Might have to try them out now

Here is a little more detailed example of the drums, made a riff on the guitar and then build the drums to fit it, i think this is a nice example of the acoustic feel theese drums can provide

Yeah, i was playing around with some natural harmonics, thanks

Posted by: Vinod Saranga May 11 2008, 10:53 AM

Drums sound is very natural

and your guitar riff is awesome

Posted by: Trond Vold May 11 2008, 12:16 PM

Nice! Sounds like really versatile drums.

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic May 12 2008, 04:17 PM

They sound very cool man! Congrats!

And thats a mighty cool harmonics riff you made !

Posted by: Siggum May 12 2008, 05:21 PM

Thanks guys, easy to get inspired with new drums

Posted by: Joe Kataldo May 12 2008, 05:52 PM

I don't like it too much because, it gives you raw recorded real drum sound, that is cool for an engineer that will work on it and make it sound like a record, with compression, eq filtering etc., but difficult to handle for a medium user, instead I prefer Addictive Drums, that unify realistic drum sounds and editing with all you need, eq filter, limiter comp. reverb etc everything already set-up and with different preset

Posted by: kaznie_NL May 12 2008, 06:40 PM

Is this computer program only? On youtube I see all these people playing on real electric drums and record that with BFD2. Is it possible to use this program without "real" drums?

Yeah sure, you dont need real drums, but drummers use this software as well on their electric drumsets. I'm not a very good drummer so i just use my keyboard it runs just like any other vst ( virtual instrument)

I like it a lot, have heard it on profesional studio recordings, but you have to work a little on it, you wont make such fast bt, but you can customize it a lot more.

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jun 25 2008, 04:26 PM

55 GB. Christ lol. Now I know why I got 2 TB of space

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jun 25 2008, 10:03 PM

Well I think Siggum is trying to become and sound engeneer. With those arrangements it certainly looks that way

Joe you haw a point there,but I like it that way more than just using presets,it is more interesting that way if you are working on your album or something that requires a bit of your own signature.
But it is a biti hard to get the hag of it,bleeding and making the BFD sounds ok.

@ Ivan
Yeah,you are right,every thing Siggum uploaded,sounds very good.


p.s Hey Siggum will you produce my album.
