Hello.  I have owned BFD2 for some time but struggled to come up with decent sounding drums because I have little experience.  This is more of a hobby.  Are there expansion packs out there that have more of a pre-processed sound than the pure unprocessed goodness of BFD samples that can be used within BFD2?

Try loading up one of the many presets that come bundled with BFD.

These have all been mixed within BFD and if you choose the sort of genre you're working in, you should find something usable

All of the expansion packs are completely raw & untreated, just like the stock BFD kits

Platinum Samples Joe Baressi Glam Quick Pack is preprocessed.  Also check out platinum samples rock legends.  That has many presets included.  

Here's the link to our website: https://www.platinumsamples.com

I can't think of how to make BFD sound bad! As previously mentioned, start with a preset and see how they use the effects and EQ. At the end of this month I'll be upgrading ECO to BFD2 and I can't wait.

+1. The Glam Quick Pack is my favorite and by far most used kit, but it depends on what type of drum sound you are looking for.  I use these for a variety of types, but my main use is hard rock and metal, which they are perfect for.  Not to say they don't work in other styles though. 
 
A lot of the Platinum Samples packs seem to be a bit more mix ready than the stock BFD kits. I'd suggest hitting that link that Rail posted and give the demos a listen.  You should find something there that fits the styles you are looking for and are a bit easier to dial in than the stock BFD kit.

You can't go wrong w/ anything that's got Joe Barresi's name on it. I have the basic ECO kit, but I'm looking forward to buying the Superior Drummer version.

Rain,


I have the JB Evil Drums Superior kit. I was not overly impressed. That is not meant to mean they are not good. I was just not wowed like I was with say TT's Metal Machine or Americana. Even Slates CLA kit kinda wowed me. Maybe I'm just moving on from the Superior kits or my choices are getting too many.

Maybe Rail will chime in and tell us if there's a difference between the BFD and the SD version. 

I'm just so used to SD...

The SD version is a premixed version of the kit...  since SD3 doesn't have as many mix options as BFD...  So it you're looking for the balance you hear in the SD3 version you're good...  Which is the basic preset of the BFD version...  In the BFD version you can obviously adjust the balances between the ambience and direct channels.
