Best virtual drum I've ever heard

shootnix 21.02.2018

First of all, it sound's great!
I think this is the most flexible and reliable virtual drum workstation I've ever used.
It has it's own mixer so you can mix your drum right inside of the window of plugin with all built-in fx. Or you can export all drum tracks as wav, separately, every track by itself and use your DAW to mix it, such as real drums.
BFD3 has also standalone mode, I use it a lot when I practice my guitar.
Conclusion: even it's one of the expensive software on the market, it still one of the best solution and it's definitely worth the money!

B for Best D for Drums F for?

resbul 09.11.2025

BFD3 is definitely one of the most advanced drum virtual instruments. The sound is ultra-realistic. I originally got it for €150, but now it’s on sale for just €39 - at that price, it’s a must-have for any music producer working with drum samples.

Extrem komplizierte Installation

Jaymie 06.12.2021

Es ist extrem undurchsichtig, wie die Installation funktioniert, wenn's einmal läuft ist das Programm unschlagbar was Sound, Vielfalt der Patterns und Bedienmöglichkeiten angeht. Das beste Schlagzeugprogramm.

El sonido más natural

Juan Falcón 22.09.2022

BFD 3 puede parecer un poco complejo al principio o no tener la mejor apariencia del mercado pero el sonido de las librerías de BFD es lo más cercano a la realidad que te vas a encontrar en software de baterías. Personalmente, vale la pena el pequeño esfuerzo para dominar el programa.
