"I've used BFD and Battery the most, but I try not to get too crazy with those things for two reasons. Number one, if you get too much into the sound of a drum suite program, it will affect how you produce the rest of your instruments around that, which can be a mistake. It's not a real drummer in a real room and, unless you're doing dance music or something like that, most likely it's going to sounds really different when a real drummer goes to interpret your material.

The other thing that's a real problem is drummers hate it when you give them demos that are completely explicit, because they're listening to the demo and obviously they are trying to imagine what they're going to do over it. And very often drummers have said to me just give me two and four and that kind of thing. Just give me a click or a basic pattern that repeats so I can forget about it and I can imagine what I think I want on top of it."

In a YouTube livestream titled "Yet More FL and Ableton Projects," Pogo mentions using the FXpansion BFD2 virtual instrument at the 19:39 mark.

Christopher Franke uses the FXpansion BFD2 virtual instrument, as listed on his official equipment page.

"The drums were recorded using a Roland TD-6 kit with a Alesis Surge cymbals. I used this kit as a MIDI controller and recorded that MIDI data into Pro Tools. After that, I sent that data to FXpansion's BFD2 plug in. To get that Abbey Road tea towel sound, I used very little ambience on the kit. The room mics were all muted. I also used BFD2's dampening function to get the drums to sound as close to the record as I could."

Used for the Avatar soundtrack, as stated in this March 19, 2010 Electronic Musician interview.

[Spectrasonics] Ominsphere, Stylus RMX. I used Trilian a little at the end; it hadn’t come out until I was getting to the end of the project. [FXpansion] BFD, I was using BFD2 on some of the stuff. I like [Native Instruments] Battery, especially for drum work. It’s very nice the way I can build things in that. And there’s some little boutique ones like [FXpansion] Strobe. I used a bit of [Native Instruments] Massive. But it wasn’t really a synth score.
