As if Toontrack wants those files in the public domain. Use EZ drummer as a VST or AU in your host. If you want drum .wav sounds, you can find plenty on the internet. As for the drum sounds, I’ve heard that the basic kit, and also, especially Drums from Hell are among the most used drum sounds, so if you want something not so recognizable and common, you might try Metal Machine, which can be eq’d for rock and has extra toms and cymbals. You might subscribe to Audiodeluxe’s website, as the different kits go on sale every so often, sometimes for 1/2 off. Gxulien

Yeah, I see that now. I had an exchange with a technician from customer service directly, not through the forums and figured out my problem before I checked back here (mistake). Worked an easy tutorial for how in Reaper I can do the multi-out and have more control over my individual drum sounds apart from EZ drummer’s mixer. I’m on my way.

Yeah, it’s the headers. They are not very descriptive and there are few choices underneath. The bold typeface should have been a clue. Just hit me suddenly after looking at it again the other day. My question was too stupid and obvious for tech support to help me. Thx.

Grooves aren’t quite what I expected, so I’ll probably be doing mostly programming from scratch and making some of my own fills for cut and paste. I think the grooves in EZ drummer are better and more plentiful, but now I have a full kit of Toms and Cymbals with great sounds. Gxulien

Thanks! All I had to do was cut and past into notepad and paste the file in the Reaper Media folder and voila!

If you have a 64-bit computer, EZ drummer is 32-bit, so you would copy the folder into your 64-bit Program Files from Program files (x86) (32bit). Then you have to copy the file location under Options, Preferences, Plug-ins, VST and add the folder in the space provided, hit add, then hit rescan. Look for my post in the Reaper forums this is insufficient explanation. It will show up as “(bridged)”. When you go to insert new track with virtual instrument, EZ drummer should show up.

I just got it going with Reaper. You can drag the grooves and fills in and edit in the midi sequencer, or just use the Reaper sequencer to add note by note, but that’s pretty labor intensive. Post if you want some instructions for getting EZ drummer going in Reaper.
