Drums for Reaper?

JD50

Hi folks,

I recently upgraded to windows 10 and subsequently some of my software is no longer supported, its older versions.
I used to run ez drummer into ableton lite for recording.
I have now gone over to Reaper, it does not seem to have any drum sounds? Can anyone recommend some good drum software that works well with reaper?

Thanks

Why not continue using EZDrummer? It works fine in Reaper and Windows 10.

I'd have to purchase it again as my version is about 5 years old and not supported for windows 10.
I just wondered if anything better or cheaper had come out in the last few years or if perhaps there was a drum sequencer/machine in Reaper I had not located.

I'm pretty sure there's a 64-bit patch version for the original EZDrummer which will make it work on Win10 - I believe that started with 1.3.0.

I searched the toontrack site and found nothing for the original ezdrummer lite just a patch for the version 2.

Ahhh...you didn't specify EZDrummer Lite

However, there is a 64-bit installer for that somewhere - I think you have to login to your Toontrack account to get downloads now.

Funnily enough, EZDrummer Lite (and the full original version) works perfectly under Linux

PowerDrumKit is free, albeit very simple (which actually suits me) and works fine in Reaper: http://www.powerdrumkit.com/

Thanks for the heads up that looks great. Don't suppose you.know of a good electronic sound drum program to?

Thers a drum template for Reaper available here-http://stash.reaper.fm/v/328/ReaDrums.RTrackTemplate - it's based on the inbuilt sampler and uses the MIDi grid for programming.

Drumatics - a non sample based electronic drum synth- has been round for a while- so I'm not not sure about Win 10- but worth a free download- here   http://www.vst4you.com/pages/vst instruments/drumatic_3.html

Thanks @rpr, that template is a useful shortcut and Drumatics works like a charm on Win10
