BFD Black Album Drums is a BFD3 expansion from Chocolate Audio, the developer behind such excellent BFD expansions as Imperial and Modern Retro. As the name suggests, it contains drum sounds inspired by Metallica's classic ""Black Album,"" released in 1991. It includes the exact same 1980 Gretsch kit, Zildjian cymbals, Tama Bell Brass snare, and Ludwig snare used on the album.

This expansion pack captures the signature sound that made rock history.

Chocolate Audio created this product with great respect and affection for the album. This included tracking down the exact same 1980 Gretsch kit that Metallica used on the album, in order to recreate everything as closely as possible to the original recording sessions. Furthermore, with the assistance of Mike Touch, who served as assistant engineer on the ""Black Album"" at the time, the expansion pack was recorded at One On One Recording Studio, now restored and renamed 17 Hertz, where the drums for the Black Album were recorded.

The original recordings used an astonishingly gorgeous recording setup and microphones, setting the bar for the Chocolate Audio team to recreate.
