Here's the details direct from the company...

Effortless Integration and Operation
BFD Player is designed for seamless integration with popular Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) as well as standalone operation. The intuitive interface provides access to authentic drum sounds, professionally crafted grooves, and a versatile mixer, enabling users to achieve studio-quality drum tracks with ease. Grooves can be dragged and dropped into DAW timelines to quickly build up a track.

Uncompromising Audio Quality
BFD Player is characterized by its sonic excellence. The free BFD Player software includes over 5.25GB of meticulously sampled drum kits. These kits are recorded by professional engineers using world-class hardware and microphones.

Comprehensive Groove Library
BFD Player comes pre-loaded with 340 grooves, executed by top-tier drummers. The grooves are fully categorized by parameters such as genre, tempo, and leading hand, allowing users to effortlessly locate the perfect rhythm for their musical project.

Professional Mixing Capabilities
BFD Player caters to both experienced and novice music producers with its inbuilt mixer. A range of genre and kit specific presets provides a solid foundation for those unfamiliar with drum mixing, while more seasoned users have the option to fully customize their mix. Additional routing capabilities allow for separate routing into a DAW for external processing through the user's preferred plugins.
