BFD Zildjian Expansion Collection Vol. 1

Zildjian Expansion Collection Vol. 1 brings together the A Family and K Custom Dark cymbal sound libraries in one collection.

Instruments selected from the Zildjian Artist Vault give you both bright, articulate cymbals and darker, more controlled sounds for recording and electronic drumming.

The collection includes every cymbal from both packs, with crashes, rides, hi-hats, splashes and an 18" A China High.

Ready-to-play kit presets help you start quickly, and you can combine both families to build custom kits.

One purchase includes versions for BFD Player, BFD 3.5 and Alesis Strata. Computer use requires a BFD Player or BFD 3.5 license.

Two Zildjian Families, One Inspiring Collection

The Zildjian expansion Collection Vol. 1 combines two legendary cymbal families that have shaped countless recordings, performances, and musical styles.

The A Family delivers the bright, balanced character that has made Zildjian the standard for generations of drummers, while K Custom Dark brings deeper, more complex tones and tighter control for a truly modern sound.

From shimmering crashes and articulate rides to dry textures and powerful accents, these packs together give you a full spectrum of cymbal sound to explore.

Sound for Any Session or Setting

Whether you're tracking drums, building virtual kits, producing music, or expanding your electronic drum setup, the Zildjian Expansion Collection Vol. 1 gives you instant access to two complementary cymbal collections.

Choose the clarity of A Family, the character of K Custom Dark, or combine both to create entirely new custom kits.

Experiment with a broader range of sounds without leaving the BFD ecosystem.

Hand-selected from the exclusive Zildjian Artist Vault, every cymbal in this collection was meticulously captured to preserve its unique response, articulation, and personality.

A Fully Connected Experience

With universal access for BFD Player, BFD 3, and Alesis Strata kits, your Zildjian Expansion Collection Vol. 1 purchase seamlessly works across the Alesis and BFD ecosystems.

Build detailed studio kits, enhance electronic drum performances, or create custom cymbal combinations that blend the best of both families.
