01Overview

BFD Player Expansion: Jazz Brushes is a drum library for the BFD drum software. It is built from the BFD Jazz Noir expansion and focuses on brushed drums rather than sticks. The developer says the pack is suited to jazz, lounge, funk and blues, where a softer, more textural drum sound fits the arrangement. The kit is a vintage Camco Oaklawn set, and the cymbals come from Istanbul.
