![]() ![]() It has an almost timbale-like sound with a clear oscillating ringing to it. This steel drum finished in black is certainly the one of the bunch that has the most character. Pearl Joey Jordison Signature Snare 13圆.5 - High tuning Perfect for where you want a clear penetrating snare that doesn’t take up too much space in the frequency spectrum. While this is my least favorite of the five it is in no way bad. This is a bright snappy drum with the short sustain typical of aluminum drums. Ludwig 402 Chrome on Aluminium 14圆.5 - Medium tuning Warm and snappy with a tone that could fit in a variety of styles, especially rock. Gretsch Bell Brass 14圆.5 - Medium tuningīrass snares are usually my favorites as they have a bright top end that can cut through a mix but also a warm fat bottom end to give it some body. I will attempt to give you a brief description of each drum coupled with a short sound example. But I actually like that they decided to focus on just getting a good stick sound.ĭigging into this library you will find a wide range of tonal personalities. Unlike the other BFD snare packs these were only recorded with wooden sticks as a beater, no brushes, mallets or rods can be found here. But I have to say that I find these to be well tuned for the drums, vary greatly between the differently processed drums and very usable! I have actually yet to turn these off completely and use my own reverb, which is a good sign.Īll these recorded channels results in a very full sound and you can play around with them for endless tone shaping possibilities. ![]() This is an unusual feature and at first I thought that it was a bit of a gimmick as snare reverb is typically set on a song basis for me. The four room mics are overhead, mono room, ribbon room and stereo room.īut wait, that’s only eight! Yes, they have also decided to include two channels of pre-recorded stereo reverb in the mix. There are four close mics to choose from: two on the top, one on the side and another one at the bottom. ![]() The recordings contain a total of ten channels of audio. This will surely satisfy both the creative engineer and the songwriter looking for an EZ fix. This is a feature that has been present in the latest BFD expansions and will let you choose between the traditional way of shaping your own drum sound from scratch or simply drop great sounding drums into your track with little to no effort. Each recording is provided in three different variations, both the raw unprocessed sound as well as two pre-processed mix ready versions. This expansion contains five different snare drums recorded with the snare wires both on and off. To build their own drum recording room and let these two guys have a go at it has shown to be a great success as the expansions produced in this fashion are some of the best sounding drum libraries I’ve heard to date. ![]() Just like the previous BFD3 expansions Oblivion and Horsepower, this library was recorded in-house by Drew Vernon and Michael Bugh in FXpansions own studio. In a world that is so saturated with drum samples that you’ll soon find them packaged with your breakfast cereal, how could anyone possibly get excited over a sample library of a few selected snare drums? Well I never thought I would, but I was in for a surprise! In other words, if you want a snare that cuts through and stands out in a mix, then a metal snare might be your ideal companion. Snares that are surrounded in metal tends to have a crisper, brighter and more articulate sound than what you would typically find in a wooden snare. It’s simply snares that are built with a metal shell. I realized that the name had nothing to do with the music genre in this case, although i could fit very well for that too. When I saw that FXPansion was releasing an expansion for their drum software BFD3 called ' Metal Snares' I didn’t pay any notice as I somewhat stupidly assumed that it was a collection of snares tailored for the metal genre, which is something I’m not particularly interested in.īut then one day I happen to hear some demos on their SoundCloud page and thought to myself ”Hey, what’s this? This sounds great!” and realized that it was the 'Metal Snares' pack that I had dismissed weeks earlier. ![]()
