A nice cajon-like kit to have, but not much more
It sounds great in the demos, but the presets don’t sound very good to my ears. I would have expected more detailed and deeper sampling from the BFD team, considering the high standard they’ve set with other kits and expansions.
Additionally, even after mapping, each percussion instrument only has a single striking position, with round-robin variations. This limits dynamic and realistic playing compared to fully multi-position sampled kits.
Overall, I don’t see myself using this kit in productions - it’s probably better to record a real cajon or other similar percussion instruments.
