Description

BFD Swan Percussion is an expansion pack for BFD3, BFD Eco and BFD2 with innovative percussion instruments and a suite of Crescent effect cymbals.
 
Swan Percussion's original creations are inspired by a variety of world percussion. The 'Black Swan Drum' is a new take on the Ghanaian Gombe framedrum featuring a tom head. Other highlights include the 'Swango', a reinterpretation of the bongos, the Afro-Cuban Bat¡-style 'Batudu' and a variety of shakers and cajons. The included set of Crescent Haptic series effect cymbals provide characterful crash, resonator, crash china and ride china cymbal sounds.
 
Played variously by hands, rods, mallets and sticks, BFD Swan Percussion also comes with a selection of presets and funky percussive Grooves perfect for all music styles requiring dynamic, exciting percussion.

    A nice cajon-like kit to have, but not much more

    It sounds great in the demos, but the presets don’t sound very good to my ears. I would have expected more detailed and deeper sampling from the BFD team, considering the high standard they’ve set with other kits and expansions.

    Additionally, even after mapping, each percussion instrument only has a single striking position, with round-robin variations. This limits dynamic and realistic playing compared to fully multi-position sampled kits.

    Overall, I don’t see myself using this kit in productions - it’s probably better to record a real cajon or other similar percussion instruments.
