01Overview

Stanton Moore Cymbals brings a set of signature Bosphorus cymbals into the BFD3 drum library. The collection covers four crash cymbals, two rides and one hihat, so producers can build a full kit around the cymbals Stanton Moore uses. The crashes also come with mallet versions, which gives you an alternative attack for swells and textured hits. Because the pack is built for BFD3, it fits directly into an existing BFD workflow rather than working as a standalone instrument.

Signature Bosphorus Cymbal Range

The pack covers the full Stanton Moore signature range from Bosphorus. Its four crashes give you a choice of tones for accents and section changes, while the two rides cover steady timekeeping and bell-style patterns. The single hihat completes the set for closed and open hat parts.

The crashes include mallet versions, so you can switch from a stick hit to a softer, more sustained sound without loading a different instrument. This is useful when you want a cymbal swell or a darker wash under a sparse arrangement.

Using Stanton Moore Cymbals in BFD3

Stanton Moore Cymbals is an expansion for BFD3 and is not designed to run on its own. You install it into the BFD3 library, then load the cymbals into your kit alongside the drums and percussion you already use.

The pack is well suited to funk, groove and rock productions where a specific signature cymbal sound is the goal. Producers working on grooves in that style can match the cymbal character to the playing style associated with the drummer.
