Thanks Olle for the quick responce.
I got a better idea now how to set it up:

Use Bank Select (either MSB or LSB) to choose User Presets bank – and then use Program Change to choose which preset from that bank.

Thanks ?

I found a solution to make use of the EZdrummer tambourine and other percussions – including using both cowbell and group claps in the same song.

I simply recorded the sounds, exported them as ..wav-files, dragged them into Audacity and created my own samples, put them on a SD card and THEN I can use the EZdrummer sounds on the Alesis Sampled I just bought for this.

Now the fine tambourine sound of EZdrummer2 can finally be used LIVE.

A hell of a work a round, and quite expensive, but it´s working and sounding good.

Would have been way easier if you had made a global perc-section with the most used instruments to be used in any preset.

I just purchased the Latin Percussion to get the tambourine only to realize that it´s IMPOSSIBLE to drag the tambourine into any kit from the standard, Rock or Reggae packs.
It´s not possible to change any drum, cymbal or percussion to the tambourine. The option is not present in any way. Thought when you had the sound in the library you could put it in any where you wanted.

That means I just wasted a a lot of money on NOTHING as this extension is totally useless to me as it is. Why have you made the weird decision that it´s so hard to get a bloody tambourine working ?
When I settled on buying the EZdrummer software I found it logic you had placed a global Cowbell and tambourine only to find out you cannot use the tambourine with edrums. It´s such a natural and used percussion that I simply cannot understand this is not possible to use on every EZX.

Does this really mean that if I like the ROCK and REGGAE packages and their excellent presets I will never be able to use a tambourine within EZdrummer?

Is there any way I could get my money back for the EZX as I really believed I could change any cymbal to a tambourine ?

Update:

besides these posts I wrote an email and got a hopeless reply.

Did a clean reinstall of Yosemite on the Imac and now things are working again.
When deliting either SOLO or DEMO something must have messed up some system files.
Now it´s working fine and I have bought the full version – just waiting to get the activation email from the music store

Update:
EZdrummer Demo reinstalled and working on the old macbook (10.6.8).
Solo still cannot find drummer and will not accept the VST when I create a simular path at the preinstalled one. The VST is there but I cannot choose it.

Guess we could use our V-drums directly in EZdrummer without going through Solo?

How do I get Solo to work again?

Still no luck on the new and up to date Imac.
After succesful installation of EZdrummer Solo there is no folder in Applications and no orange app to start the program.
The folder locates itself in Users/shared (why I don’t know). I follow the instuction to install in Mactintosh HD and we are only 1 user on the Mac).
If I force the folder to applicatins during instal the end result is the same – no orange EZdrummer icon. Only the folder.

I simply download from Toontrack and hit instal. This is weird.

Can you help with this? Is so frustrated and disapointed at the moment. Have spend endless hours since sunday on this.
