Joe Barresi is the engineer behind iconic modern American rock albums such as Tool's ""10,000 Days,"" Queens of the Stone Age's ""Lullabies To Paralyze,"" and Bad Religion's ""The Empire Strikes First.""

""Joe Barresi Evil Drums"" is a drum sound expansion for Fxpansion BFD & Toontrack Superior Drummer 2.0, containing over 70GB of material recorded in studios that Joe Barresi describes as ""two of my favorite drum rooms in LA.""

Notes
- Prioritizing Joe Barresi's know-how, there are some differences from the original BFD specifications.

The kick drum In/Out contains a mix of both.

A compressed mono sound is assigned to the PZM fader.
