There is a dropdown menu in EZdrummer 2 when you click on the help button. One of the options is to find the location of the vstplugin. Click on that and then copy the file path for the plugin.
Go into Reapers preferences and paste the file location in the search function box where Reaper finds all your plug ins and click search.
Make sure you add it to the end of the listed files in the search box so you don’t accidentally remove one of the other locations.
It will load the plugin for EZ Drummer into Reaper. Then use it by clicking on the effects button on the track that you wish to use for your drums.
I would go step by step for you in Reaper but I am not at home right now and do not have the steps committed to memory.
Let me know how you make out.
You can also google how to add a file path in Reaper to search for plugins. That is how I did it.
I am missing something, still not getting the EZ drummer to show up on the VST or VSTi. I am using the trial version of Reaper, do I need to pay up before it will allow me to add EZ?
Try to ad a new track by right clicking where the tracks are on the left. Choose “insert virtual instrument on new track”. It should be there for you to choose if you added the folder in the VST options like the previous answer said.
When I choose ezdrummer 2 from the vsti list, I’m not given the option to place each drum on its own track. So it sets up a single track in reaper. If I switch the mixer to multi out, I can only hear the bass drum. All other drums are muted until I reroute the all the mixer channels into a stereo out again.
But it’s weird that I’m not given the option to route tracks into separate reaper tracks when first opening ezd. All the videos I’ve seen show that happening

Thanks for the help…
I haven’t used Reaper in ages but I used to load EZD from Track->Insert virtual instrument on new track. Then select the multichannel option. Then make the routing in the EZD mixer.
