4 years later, still helping people . thanks bud
I cannot tell you how much this has helped me (and shown me how wrong I've been doing it this last year or so). Thank you very much for taking the time to do this.
Thanks for taking the time to put this great tutorial together. I was struggling to understand how to use EZ Drummer and Reaper, but this has helped me so much!
Simple concise instruction. This was so helpful. Thanks a lot
Great tutorial. Thank you for taking your time and doing this.
Excellent, I hope that you found it helpful!
Just downloaded EZ Drummer and decided to look up some tips on using it before I dove head first into using it. You just saved me A LOT of headache! Thank you very much.
I REALLY enjoyed your tutorial. In 20 minutes I was able to get Reaper and EZ Drummer to communicate and lay down a drum track. 20 minutes! Keep 'em coming.
Why do people “thumbs down” on videos where someone is trying to assist newbies with features? Are they so expert they think it’s arrogant of someone to demonstrate their simple ways of doing things? I just don’t understand what people are thinking when they swipe at someone trying to help others...must be the “way of things.” Creating music used to be utterly cool...dude, thanks for the learned assist!
Thank you so much for the video! You convinced me to use Reaper over other more expensive DAW software. And what is more, now it makes more sense how the channels and different effects work together. Thanks!
Great video thanks, I thought this was going to be a nightmare to set up but got it sorted in ten minutes!
Thank you!! Really helpful, i had really no clue how to do this!
Very clear tutorial and easy to follow! Well done! Thanks a lot!
Thank you. I've been trying to figure this out on my own all afternoon. Got it set up now. Very helpful.
You're very welcome, so glad it helped!
I agree with Matt. Well done and still a great resource 4 years down the road. Much good info here, not only on EZDrummer, but nice coverage on some REAPER basics that are mighty handy. Thank you for posting!
Thanks so much!
Great video. I'm just getting started on my own home studio and YT channel, and want to start using ez drummer in my guitar tutorial vids. Thanks, this was a big help.
Great Video! It was very helpful and informative , Thanks!
I probably watched 100 of these vids, this one worked!!! Thanks, everything works now!
That's great to hear! Hope you're making some killer drum tracks now :)
Thanks for this! I had no idea how to add the vst til now
I had to find a 4 year old video to find something that worked! Big thumbs up to you sir :)
Excellent, I ran into the multi-track issue and I found this video... thanks so much!!
Awesome, glad it helped!
Wow man you have no idea how much you helped me. I appreciate it! Blessings!
Just wanna say thank you so much for taking the time to do this, your a awesome dude!!! Ill subscribe to pay my respects! Thanks again!
Thanks so much!
Perfect, perfect, perfect. I"ve been using outboard drum machines but wanting to get it all "inside the box" with more control and EZ Drummer does this like a champ. But I had no idea, once I'd paid the money for the app, how to get it to work in Reaper. And now I do. Thanks! (Jack)
Thanks so much, and I'm glad to hear that this was helpful!
Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to figure out. You are the man!!!
This video really helped me after I transferred my reaper files to a new pc from my external hard drive and found that ez drummer and ez miz didn’t transfer perfectly so I had to reset them up in reaper. Thank you!!!!
So glad that you found it helpful! Thanks!
Very helpfull for my first steps with reaper and Ez ! Thank You ;)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! This was incredibly helpful in a very frustrating time. I appreciate this very much. Thanks again!
Awesome, so glad that it was helpful!
It took me several tries but I finally got reaper to recognize ez drummer. There's no way I would have figured this out on my own. It got me off the ground for sure. Thanks
Did you just keep redoing the steps? I've tried a few times and so far no luck. My path was exactly like shown in the video too.
Nice tip about setting up folders!
You made this super easy for me! Thank you!
still working years later! Thanks!
Rad. Thanks so much for this. Feel like a whole new world has opened up.
Awesome, that's great to hear! Have a blast drumming it up :)
First of all: THANK YOU!!!! This is the answer I was looking for. Second: I HAD TO RESTART REAPER to make it visible. Maybe this helps someone. I'm using the Evaluation License of Reaper 5.965
Thank you, and thanks for the info!
THANK YOU, I kept and taking it out and readding it so this is great
Thanks. This has really helped me out mate. Very well presented and easy to follow.
So glad that it was helpful!
Hello again dude, wondered if you might be able to help. I finally managed to add EZdrummer 2 as a VST plugin to my Reaper DAW. My problem is that when I click to Insert Virtual Insrument On New Track and select the EZdrummer VSTi in Reaper, it will open up EZdrummer within Reaper and ask 'Build Routing Confirmation' so I select to open multiple tracks for recording my individual drum tracks etc. I make sure that within EZd menu I have selected 'Enable Midi Out'. If I arm a track to record in Reaper and hit a drum the noise level meter for that track indicates that the drum is registering properly, but when I come to record the drum to the track selected, Reaper does not actually pick the drum up on playback and basically the track monitor is like a flatline instead of seeing peaks etc. I'm sure I must have missed something, but I can't think what, so any help would be appreciated. Sorry this is so long winded, and thanks.
It may be as simple as enabling monitoring for the track that's running EZDrummer. I'll have to play with it next time I'm in the studio to make sure, but give that a try.
Man, thank youfor making my life so easier. I was miserable before watching your tutorial. Thank you thank you thank you (and I did not copy/paste those three thank yous)!

Hi thanks for this incredibly helpful starter video. One question: I have a Windows laptop which I'm using for Reaper and EZ Drummer. And I intend to use an electric drumkit with it. So I want to be able to use ASIO as sound driver. But while Reaper is configured to use the ASIO driver EZ Drummer just sends the audio through my laptop speakers. And I can't seem to find a solution for sending the audio to my usb audio mixer into where I connect my headphones. Do you have any experience with that sort of problem and do you have a solution to that? Thank you!!
Just helped me ty!!!
awsome video
Thanks!
Very helpful!!
I followed right along, with windows 10 and my EZderummer2 not showing up in the VST list on Reaper. When I hit rescan, it gives me 3 options. Thats not covered in the video because you had it installed already. Any ideas? thanks
I have to say it *gets up* THANK YOU
Totally solved my Problem, thank you sir^^
Awesome, glad to hear that!
7:57 - It's loud because it's playing from the track and the plugin. Mute the midi file (right click the groove and choose Mute) in the plugin to get the correct drum volume from the project.
MIDI doesn't produce any sound on its own. So muting the MIDI media item wouldn't actually accomplish anything other than not sending MIDI data to the plugin. That would effectively mute the entire track (I just tried it out of curiosity, and it no longer sends MIDI data to the VSTi, so the entire track mutes as a result).
It was loud because the audio samples in EZDrummer are normalized to pretty close to 0dB. Compared to the other audio tracks we record where we try to keep peaks to -6dB and RMS to -18dB, 0dB is pretty darned loud!
@@YHRS I think it was loud because you're actually running two instances of EZDrummer... You shouldn't need the desktop app open if you're running it as an FX plugin inside Reaper. You should just be manipulating the program through the track fx, not the Desktop app.
@@YHRS I think @B Vines is correct. There is an option to mute the midi file in EZ Drummer as he says. Drove me nuts editing the midi in Reaper to remove toms and wondering why I could still hear them when they were gone from the track in Reaper; the original midi in EZ Drummer plays when you hit play in Reaper so you have two sources playing at the same time.
Thank u so much :D !
Perfect vid!
Thanks!
Nice, thx dude
Awesome! My Man!
Thank you.
What theme are you using? Thanks. Good job.
thanks for the video. a great help for a noob like me
You're very welcome! Glad it was some help to you!
Fine! Works!
FYI I had to remove the space after the semicolon. Reaper couldn't see ezdrummer until I did. Not sure why yours didn't mind the space?
Interesting. Must be a "feature" that was introduced since I recorded this video.
Thank you for this comment! Man, I was pulling my hair out. Definitely doesn't work with a space after the semi-colon.
Thanks! Had that problem. Solved it.
Thank you man! That helped!
Thank you! I was just freaking out that I lost my drums in a finished song. Got em back!
Thanks man!
thanks bro!!!
Thanks!
