The Hi hat in this pack really bugs me so it will need tweaking. I use SD 3 more often though as it sounds great right away. Tone wise they're both great but BFD is more raw while SD3 is like a finished product.
I haven't messed with a roland kit in years but from my experience you'd basically have to use it as a midi controller into your computer running BFD. That's what I was doing here but with an Alesis DM10. Sounds wouldn't change in that case but there's the potential for latency.
@@mesiebooga If there is Latency issues with a roland TD50X can it be fixed or would that mean you cannot use this with a roland TD50X module? Thank you
@@johnfrith7884 first you need to see if the td50 passes MIDI data over usb or if you would need to use the MIDI OUT to another interface to communicate with your computer. The interface, the DAW, and the computer specs you use will all determine the latency. There’s a lot of variables there so your best bet would be to research the specific gear you’re using and see how to best decrease latency. In this setup, same as the DM10 I had, the brain or module is simply being use to convert the signal from the pad into a MIDI signal for your computer to interpret. The internal sounds and features of the td50 aren’t being utilized.
I’m new to the bfd drum product. Do you have to buy anything in order to run this? In other words is it an expansion that you need the base product for first? Thanks!
I’m also debating in between this black album or dark farm
Sorry I'm not familiar with Dark Farm.
So much better than SD3.

I honestly think it sounds great. I was wondering how how will they sound with my Roland Td50x drums. Thanks

Yes you will need the base BFD 3 and then this expansion pack.
