This is crazy!! 🔥 I remember back when SSD5 free dropped and a lot of us felt that was more than enough to work with. I ended up getting the full version during a sale. Then last year during the winter sale, BFD3 went for 50 bucks! But some of use were on the fence whether it's a good idea or not.. It seemed dead and people were unhappy for several reasons, one being no M1 update, empty promises... And some said BFD4 could be around the corner. I ended up pulling the trigger, knowing that it did not work in Logic, but as stand alone and in Luna. Fast forward to now, I'm on a MBA M1, Logic, latests MacOS - and it is working like a charm! LOVE IT!!🤘It's insane the things you can do. 🤯 Always, this morning I went on to their forum, just to look around - and I saw this just got released! Man, this is HUGE!! Not sure I need it, since I have the "full version", but it could be nice on the main drive and move 15 GB SSD5 to the external and get some GB back. 😅 Really excited to give this a go! 🥁
It is definitely up there. It sounds great and comes with all those grooves. Definitely feels like it shouldn’t be free. Plus if you decide to add expansions they’re only $30.
I downloaded it , Installed it, then opened my DAW (FL Studios 21) and the dam thing wont load.. It tries to but the Plug in window is just black.. kinda sux.. i was lookn forward to trying it out
And MTPowerDrumKit, and the recent Hafizhjoys Pop Pink Drums. Also, a Frankenstein of all the great free drum plugins can actually go a long way. It's indeed a great time to make music.
Solid plugin, although it has its quirks with the hihat mechanism. For some reason, closed hihat keys don't choke the previously played open hihat sounds UNLESS the velocity of the closed hihat is GREATER than the open hihat. The only guaranteed way to choke open hihat samples is to play the foot pedal (any velocity). This is annoying when playing this VST with any pad or keyboard controllers.
Is it a standalone? I'm looking for a free standalone drum VST. I don't want open it within a DAW. I moved from DAW to standalone for simplicity. I use my Windows PC and midi controller and record on tracks of my Tascam Model 12. I have Velvet Air and a few other VSTs that i have a shortcut on my desktop. I click the shortcut, press record on my multitracker and i'm ready to go. I would like to use a free drum VST the same way playing with a my midipad controller. I tried Mt power drums and a few others, but they can only be opened within a DAW. Is this free drum VST a standalone? Or do you have any alternative recomendations?
Great video appreciate your time do you have a video on how to install this as I have tried on Windows 10 and you have the player and then the library in it and it installs Library first having issues thanks keep up the great work
i'm using alesis nitro drum set but for some reason the bass drum has no sound and one of my toms has the sound of an open high hat how can I fix this?
Thanks for the video link I appreciate it. The mapping key worked and I got my bass drum back .The other issue was in alesis drum computer. somehow my tom got changed to a hi hat. I changed it back to the tom sound and everything works perfect thanks a lot for your help 👍🏻
When was this and what system are you on? I know people have had problems in the recent past, but for me it's working like a charm. I'm on a M1 MBA, latest MacOS. And it's working both in Logic and as stand-alone. Zero issues with their authorization system. I would head over to their forum, from what I've seen it's active and people are helpful. I really love BFD! 🔥
The file structure looks the same as BFD3 but i dont see any where in the BFD Player to load new libraries other than the two they currently have for sale for it.
Kinda wish that I hadn't deleted all of the BFD files when I organized the drum grooves from Odd Grooves and GrooveMonkey now. Well, I saved the General Midi and SSD banks anyway.
I have BFD3 with extra expansion packs connected to my electronic drumkit , but It always crashes when I’m working on Logic Pro X . There was never any software updates for BFD3 , can this player be used the same way and will the expansion packs I got work on this player ?
I dont think the expansions for BFD3 will work with the Player. They do have two inexpensive addons for Player though. And another commenter said this is working on Logic.
I downloaded it... its pretty cool.... But Im not sure how to drag my toontrack stuff into this program.... the key map thing isnt working... Any help would be appreciated.
It doesn't seem like this software is 100% working yet, i spent over four hours on a chat with inmusic support and they cant figure out why its not working for me and are trying to remote into my computer
I had to start an account first in order for the program to download and play properly. I gotta say, the nothingness kit is worth it for me. I played around with it last night and man... it sounds real nice. It also works with my midi libraries from ugritone and others. That's all I need.
In the menu in the browser you can choose a keymap there, and all of the drums and articulations will switch to those keys. However they aren't fully visible in the software (yet) - you can load the EZDrummer keymap, and things should mostly line up.
What is the trick to downloading BFD drums? For me, repeated efforts to download the zip file stop at 5,232,636 KB (no file extension). My system reports "Failed - Download error." Is the plug-in still available?
@@Drew_Vernon Thanks for the reply. I do not experience the issue with downloads from other sites. I temporarily disabled my security software, but the download fails. So I manually added the missing file extension and managed to load the *.dll. Perhaps the incomplete download explains why none of the kits have a rim shot, cross stick, cowbell, and wood block; or are these instruments available only in the paid version?
Great sounds, but this VST is geared for the amateur with few minimal needs; since rim shots, cowbell, foot splash etc. are not included. The poor contrast of black type on gray in the GUI will suit juveniles...but not the pros. For me it does not even come close to the free but superior Hydrogen drum synth that is customizable and offers ALL of the drum instruments: brushes...any sample in WAV format that can be loaded. Maybe one day a software developer will consult a knowledgeable musician and construct a drum kit for those with higher standards.
BFD Player does have rim shots. This isn't meant to be a sample-mangling tool like Hydrogen. This is an acoustic drumkit experience, with easy workflow, nice presets, and quick macro controls for users to dial in their sound. It is fine if it isn't for you, but to assert it only suits "juveniles" just is not accurate. We already have many pros using it and enjoying it. That said, it is aimed at people who want a simple experience. It isn't trying to be BFD3, Superior Drummer3, Addictive Drums, or any of the more complex packages.
@@Drew_Vernon My remark about juveniles referred only to the poor contrast of text in the GUI, not to the audio. Very young people seem to like black text on a gray background that has me squinting to read it. Some developers opt for even darker gray on black that is barely readable. Chaos is definitely in fashion. I tried BFD Player in my music notation program (Finale) and was thrilled with the quality of the sound, especially the balance of loudness between the cymbals and snare. Nice! But none of the kits include standard drum instruments like the rim shot, cross stick, wood block, cowbell and foot splash that a pro drummer uses. Are these available only in the paid version?
My computer is an i3 and it works fine on it. Even with my screen recording software and a separate audio recording program running while making this video it worked fine.

Get BFD Player And more info here www.audiotechtv.com/BFD_Player
When I went to download from the link on Mac OS it went to a page 403 Forbiden.

This might take the top spot for best free acoustic drum vsts, because downloading it feels illegal 😂👏♥️🔥

LOL yes its probably my favorite all-around free drum kit. For metal, there might be better options, but this is awesome.
Seems like a great plug-in. I'll try it for sure. Thanks for the info and for the explanation. Very helpful.
I downloaded it , Installed it, then opened my DAW (FL Studios 21) and the dam thing wont load..
It tries to but the Plug in window is just black.. kinda sux..
i was lookn forward to trying it out
Amazing plugin!!! Ssd5 free, modo drum, MT power drum, and bfd player 🎉🎉🎉🎉
It’s amazing that we have that many high quality, free, drum plugins to use. Thank you for watching. Keep creating! 👊👍
And MTPowerDrumKit, and the recent Hafizhjoys Pop Pink Drums.
Also, a Frankenstein of all the great free drum plugins can actually go a long way. It's indeed a great time to make music.
i use all you mentioned + jamstix
I can’t just find the ssd5 free, where it is on the webpage? There’s nothing free there, it costs
Help?
This sounds like a winner for me. Fun to play around.☝
I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for watching. Keep creating! 👊👍
I got the full version when it was on sale for 45 dollars. It’s really good
You taught me how to use this plugin in one video. Thank you!
Solid plugin, although it has its quirks with the hihat mechanism.

Does it have cross-stick for snare?

Does the beat pattern conform to the track or do you match BPM with the drum track you want? I'm new to this.
picked it up few days ago yet to get into the groove 😂
great you can use grooves from other drums.. 👍🏼
Anyone else get a black screen when the load up BFD and do you know how to fix it? I use FL
Great video appreciate your time do you have a video on how to install this as I have tried on Windows 10 and you have the player and then the library in it and it installs Library first having issues thanks keep up the great work
Cant make BFD player workin since they ask me to register an alesis device before to authorize😕
Sounds like you got the wrong download. Just google BFD Player and make sure it isnt on the Alesis website, perhaps?
Dam that G string. Great video. Thank you
Where is the drum kit that comes free dude all i can see is the core library when i open bfd player no kit showing
?
Tried so many times to install this freebie. Gave up after 4 hours. I'll continue to use modo.
Nice funk rock track
Thank you. I had fun with bass track. Thank you for watching. Keep creating! 👊👍
i'm using alesis nitro drum set but for some reason the bass drum has no sound and one of my toms has the sound of an open high hat how can I fix this?
You need to change the drum mapping.
Have you checked out this video?

couldn't get BFD 3 working.
and they have a very poor authorization system

Player uses a different authorization system to BFD3, and works well. It does require an internet connection however.
Que daw usar para activar este plugin?
Cannot get windows version to load. Is it vst 2 compatible?
Do you ever work on music by others or just your own? Just curious.
I do wonder if this will load libraries from BFD3. That would be nice.
The file structure looks the same as BFD3 but i dont see any where in the BFD Player to load new libraries other than the two they currently have for sale for it.

@@ianmuessigWhat problem are you having??
how do I add my bfd3 libraries expansions
idk, i have no presets when i opened it

I think there is something happening locally with your internet connection or machine. This isn't a widespread reported problem.

The demo playin sounds almost like "Nirvana-Come as you are"
yeah? just try to install this thing!
Would be great to have this in a iPhone app!
Maybe say the next time say that you got to log in to an account .. Why ? Then the uninstall is not good if you choose you rown maps .. :-(
There's always a new reason to regret giving Native Instruments so much of my money 😥

Be advised ...this program takes a pretty stout/fast computer. I have an I5 processor and it is sluggish.
My computer is an i3 and it works fine on it. Even with my screen recording software and a separate audio recording program running while making this video it worked fine.
Check the settings -- there is an option to turn the performance demands down if on a slow machine.
I'm using a 12th Gen i5 and it works just fine
Are you Muslim Zeina ❤❤
terrible sounding kit.
InMusic? I'll pass.
