Sound on Sound Magazine, Feb 2005
'If the idea of getting real miked drum sounds without the real drums appeals, then this is one piece of software you have to try out... most important is the sound quality, and these kits sound exactly as though you have a real drum kit on the other side of the glass. The cymbal samples are very long and both the drums and cymbals are beautifully sampled, with more velocity layers than you could wish for... the choice of three different stereo miking setups combined with the close mics gives you plenty of tonal scope. Furthermore, the range of quality drum kits is exceptional.'

'If live drums are what you’re after, then BFD is absolutely the most flexible software solution on the market. The quality of the recordings is exceptional and the level of control you’re given over them will amaze even the oldest of engineering hands…the fact is that anyone looking to capture real drum performances without a real drummer simply won’t find anything better.'

Future Music Magazine, Jan 2004
'For those in need of high quality, convincing real drum sounds look no further - BFD will blow your socks off!'

Drummer Magazine, June 2004
'BFD is an impressive piece of kit. It has taken on the difficult job of providing the sound and feel of 'real' drums in the shape of an easy-to-use plug-in and has succeeded.'

Tape Op Magazine, May – June 2004
'An ambitious, wonderfully realized rendition of a virtual, acoustic drum instrument that features a highly intuitive user-interface and a library of sampled content that is top-notch. I have yet to see any virtual instrument that affords the level of fine-tuning that BFD provides.... It essentially places you at the console of a superbly equipped studio where you have your pick of seven great drum kits, each carefully recorded with multiple mics.'
