BFD B.O.M.B was produced by John Emrich, creator of BFD Jazz & Funk and BFD Percussion. This collection was recorded at Omega Studios, Rockville, Maryland using the highest quality recording equipment available. In December of 2006, John retired from the US Navy Band, Washington, DC as a Chief Musician. In his 20 year career as a premier military musician, John has spent a great deal of time performing on drums of all shapes and sizes for visiting dignitaries and heads of state, including performances with marching instruments. The recording environment was set up especially to capture the correct acoustical attributes of these instruments. From the tuning through the recording and editing process, this library maintains the highest quality of sonic detail. These samples are free of additional processing allowing the end user the most versatility when it comes to incorporating these sounds into your music.

BFD B.O.M.B: Big Orchestral & Marching band expansion pack for BFD1.5 & BFD2 Featuring a diverse range of marching and orchestral percussion, BFD Big Orchestral Marching Band is perfectly suited for all forms of music. Big Orchestral The full chromatic set of Orchestral Chimes and Timpani can be used for melodic lines, perfect for film and commercial composition, for complementing classic rock tracks, or for creative sound design. The tonal bass drums are floor-shaking alternatives to 808 kick drums, for making huge sub basses and storming hip-hop kicks, while the Brake drum (repurposed from an old Cadillac) is perfect for latin street percussion grooves. Marching Band Marching snares tend to be very cutting and are useful for all kinds of mixes. Quad toms are good for alternative tom sounds or percussive uses. BFD B.O.M.B offers some unique cymbal sounds. A variety of orchestral hand cymbals are provided, as well as suspended cymbals that don't have a cymbal stand to dampen their vibrations, meaning that they ring out longer and undisturbed compared to regular drumkit-based cymbals. These kinds of instruments can offer new flavours for mixes of all kinds, from rock to R&B. In Your Mix The use of carefully selected hi-end recording equipment and professional performances from experienced personnel contribute to the exceptional dynamic range and sonic beauty of the sounds, making them ideal source material for a huge variety of uses. The instruments will sit perfectly in your mix, but because they do not have any additional processing, you can sculpt them into exactly what you need for your next musical adventure.
