Unleash explosive power and crystal-clear articulation in your tracks with BFD Crush, a meticulously tuned and processed drum expansion designed to sound loud and proud right out of the box. This formidable kit is the definitive choice for all progressive and technical rock and metal genres, delivering the aggressive punch and intricate detail your music demands.

BFD Crush comes fully loaded with a comprehensive selection of drums and cymbals, engineered for maximum impact:

• Full Complement of Meinl Byzance Cymbals: Get pristine, cutting cymbal sounds, including a range of versatile stacked cymbals for added aggression and unique textures.
• Dynamic Kick Drum Options: The kick drum was captured in three variations—dampened, fully open, and without the resonant head—using industry-standard microphones like the Audix D6, Sennheiser E602, AKG D112, and an AEA R84 ribbon mic for diverse tonal textures.
• Versatile Snare Drums: Explore three snares across eight variations, offering a spectrum of dampened and resonant tones, along with low and high tunings. A combination of dynamic, condenser, and ribbon microphones provides ultimate flexibility in shaping your snare sound.
• Six Expressive Tom Drums: Build your ideal setup with two floor toms and four rack toms. Choose between three lower-tuned toms for depth, three higher-tuned toms for punch, or load all six for a truly colossal progressive drum kit. These were recorded with the same mic setup as the kick drum for seamless sonic consistency.
• Ten Meinl Cymbals + Three Stacked Setups: Beyond the initial complement, enjoy ten additional Meinl cymbals captured with beautifully smooth condenser microphones, plus three specialized stacked setups for extra aggressive impact.

BFD Crush goes beyond the core kit to provide exceptional ambient and character options:

• Tiled Surface Ambiance: Add a unique shimmer to your drum kit with recordings of a tiled surface.
• Revived PZM Microphones: Experience the massive room sound from the infamous PZM microphones, brought back from the BFD Eldorado sessions. These mics can form the powerful foundation of your mix.
• "Crush" Mono Mic Channel: Utilize a dedicated mono microphone positioned just in front of the drum kit, which can be heavily processed ("crushed to hell and back") to dramatically fatten up your productions, providing an aggressive, glued-together drum sound.

With its powerful, mix-ready sounds and extensive customization options, BFD Crush is the ultimate tool for producers and drummers pushing the boundaries of heavy music.
