FXpansion have announced the BFD Oak Custom Expansion Kit, featuring a high-end Yamaha Oak Custom drum kit and Bamboo snare. Here's what they have to say about it...
Oak is a great material for a drum shell: it resonates with a solid fundamental delivering awesome power when played. Consequently, the toms sound very full-bodied and the bass drum offers a devastating low-end response. In order to complete this set, a new 'lite' (16-velocity layers) Yamaha Bamboo snare in included. Its crack and strong tone make it very easy to place in a mix. What's included This download-only BFD v2.1 expansion kit includes toms played with sticks, mallets, and rods. The bass drum is provided in both wood and felt beater versions. The snare is played with sticks, and provided with the snare-strainer on and off.
New v2.1 articulations include 'rim shots' and 'rim clicks' on the toms (when hit with sticks). The snare also offers 'rim clicks' in addition to its standard articulations, as well as support for positional sensing when used with electronic drums.

There are no hi-hats or cymbals included with this expansion kit. However, all the bundled presets are designed around the cymbals in BFD2, and can be easily set up to play with electronic drumkits such as the Yamaha DTXtreme series using BFD2's mapping functionality.
