BFD Black Album Drums
FXpansion is proud to announce BFD Black Album Drums, an expansion pack for BFD3 inspired by the drum sound featured on the 1991 "Black Album" by Metallica. Produced and recorded by Chocolate Audio (the team behind Imperial and Modern Retro) and featuring the exact same 1980 Gretsch kit that was played on the album, this pack captures one of the signature sounds in the history of Rock music.

• A BFD3 expansion inspired by Metallica’s “Black Album” 
• Original 1980 Gretsch kit with Zildjian cymbals
• Tama Bell Brass snare & Ludwig 1970s vintage Black Beauty
• Engineered by Mike Tacci (assistant engineer on the “Black Album”)
• Recorded at One On One studio (now 17 Hertz) in North Hollywood
• Produced and recorded by Chocolate Audio

BFD Black Album Drums is available now from the FXpansion.com web store 

Pro: Kit sounds excellent
Con: Holy crap, but it loads SLOWLY in Kontakt (the version I have)

I've had this for some time direct from Chocolate Audio - The only way I found to speed up the incredibly slow loading time is once loaded, re-save as an new instrument - on my system it then seems to load more as you would expect.

I'll give that a try. Thanks.

Again, owned it direct from Chocolate Audio themselves for a while now (that deal with Audiority TS-1 a while back was too good to pass up), so nice to see FXpansion has it as an officially-published library now.
