Fxpansion has released a Crush expansion pack for BFD3, BFD2 and BFD Eco that captures a an AXM drum kit. Tuned and processed to sound “loud and proud out of the box”, this kit is perfect for all progressive and technical rock and metal genres. It comes with a full complement of Meinl Byzance cymbals, which also includes a range of stacked cymbals.

The kick drum was recorded in three variations: dampened, fully open and without the resonant head, and was captured using the infamous Audix D6, Sennheiser E602, and the AKG D112. An AEA R84 ribbon microphone was also used to provide a different texture to the kick.

The kit was recorded with three snares across eight variations, giving users a range of dampened and resonant tones, as well as low and high tunings, using a ribbon microphone.

Samples also include a set of six tom drums - two floor toms and four rack toms.

Included with the kit are 10 cymbals from Meinl, recorded with condenser microphones.

The pack is available for download at $99.
