Dan Foord Polyrhythmic Metal is an expansion pack for BFD3 containing more than 500 metal drum grooves and fills, performed by Dan Foord of Sikth and Krokodil and arranged into 26 palettes.
BFD built this groove pack with Dan Foord, drummer for Sikth and Krokodil, to capture progressive, modern and technical metal drumming. The pack is organized into 26 palettes, and each palette groups related grooves and fills so you can assemble a drum track quickly. Tempos range from 90 to 135 BPM, covering a useful span for this style.
Foord has said that polyrhythms form the basis of modern tech metal, and 3 over 4 in particular. The pack leans into that idea, with a large set of 3 over 4 grooves and fills built around it.
Each groove uses techniques Foord applies in his own playing. These include beat displacement and modulation, related tempo and time signature changes, varied orchestration, ghost note grooves, paradiddle and linear fills, and single stroke rolls.
The 500-plus grooves are arranged across 26 palettes. Because grooves within a palette are related, you can audition a set of patterns that already fit together rather than building each part from scratch.
The pack runs in BFD3 and requires BFD3 v2.1 or higher. Its tempo range of 90 to 135 BPM suits songwriters working on progressive and technical metal arrangements.
