BFD is played as a MIDI track on your sequencer, either by using a keyboard as a MIDI controller to play a drum set, or picking out the groove you want, then applying BFD for both 'MIDI in' and 'MIDI out' on that MIDI track, and record it.
On playback, keep MIDI out as BFD, change MIDI in to 'not connected', as you want the recorded MIDI track to 'play' the BFD virtual synthesizer ('cause that's what it really is after all).
The above is with Cubase, I don't know the terms in the other sequencers but I suspect they're similar.

.

"cubase vst" ?

1) Here's the Steinberg products, which one are you talking about?

2) Once you've identified the product, download the manual
http://www.steinberg.de/ListProducts_sbb0e4.html?Langue_ID=2

3) Then read the manual....try the program....and re-read...re-program...and re-read......and re-program....

Sorry, but it's like learning a whole new musical instrument from scratch.....time, persistence, patience. good luck!
