Drumdrops releases Gretsch 1960s Round Badge Soul Kit BFD Pack with Into Offer (Free for first 20)

Drumdrops has announced the release of their first kit as a drum expansion pack for FXpansion's BFD.

The BFD pack of the 1960s Vintage Gretsch Round Badge Soul Kit is compatible with BFD2 and BFD3 and was produced and played by Timmy Rickard. This kit is a recreation of the Al Jackson Junior drum sound of the early 70s and is a great example of a vintage drum sound recorded solely with five kit mics.

Customers can utilise all the features that come with BFD to get the best out of this kit, and add it to their BFD libraries.

The kit comes with a 20" Kick drum, four snares, large 16" Bosphorous New Orleans hi-hats, a 20" ride and 17" crash. Some of the articulations include wallets on snares, tea-towels on toms and chains on ride cymbals. Also included are congas, a tambourine and shakers. The kit was recorded at Miloco's The Square Studios in London using vintage pre-amps and ribbon mics.

Special Intro Offer

The first 20 customers will get the pack for free, the next 30 will be £15, the next 50 will be £25 and then it will return to the retail price of £35.
