FWIW I had this same issue, with the empty folder created on my Mac system (presumably during installation of EXZ Seventies Rock) with path:

     /Library/Application Support/EZDrummer/Midi/1914@EZX_70S

The empty ‘EZX 70s’ folder showed up in the browser under ‘EZX Libraries’ (along with the populated ‘EZX Seventies Rock’).  Oddly ‘EZX 70s’ also showed up under Menu>Settings>MIDI Libraries, under the ‘Third-Party’ category.

(Another similarly named folder appears to have valid information about the kits at /Library/Application Support/EZDrummer/EZX2_70s)

I did not have any issues accessing the MIDI patterns or kits associated with ‘EZX Seventies Rock’.

Therefore I just deleted the oddball 1914@EZX_70S folder (but not the EZX2_70s folder) in the finder and that got rid of the empty ‘EZX 70s’ folder in the browser with no side effects.

(I appreciate the necropost from @Les, since it let me know the empty folder didn’t mean I was missing some content; seems to be a minor installation bug in that EZX.)

For others with Logic Pro X (using 10.6.2 on Catalina), I’ve tried both the ‘record’ and ‘export’ methods described above, with these observations and tips:

The Record method works very well.  Tips: in EZD arm Record and make sure Follow Host is enabled.  Then in LPX start playback at the start of the region you want to import into LPX and EZD will start recording it into the Song Track at the same measure it appears in LPX.  EZD seems smart about trimming the recorded region after it hears no further MIDI, so you don’t need to stop LPX playback exactly at the end of the exported Region.

The Export method did not work well:  For some reason EZD prepends blank measures at the start of the imported file (equal to whatever measure the region started on in LPX) and also at the end of the file (algorithm unknown), requiring additional editing steps in EZD.  (None of those extra measures appear to be in the exported MIDI file, so it seems to be something amiss in EZD’s import of these LPX MIDI exports.)
