Drums for Reaper

Yeah.. I thank you very much for your help. I just need some straight forward drum patterns to try out some ideas, and I don`t need to program the drums from scratch.. I want to use this like presets on a drum machine. Is that posible?

Not to keep dragging out the dead horse and beating it, but the ReaNINJAM plugin is there for a reason, USE IT! This is the closest thing to a community building vst that ever existed. Justin put a lot of work into this thing and its fun as hell, needs to get used more often and We need more drummers on there!

I hoped for something like this: (From discussion about addictive drums) "Start a Reaper project and create a track. Click on the FX button for the track, and select Addictive Drums from the list of VSTI plugins. The Addictive Drums GUI will now be displayed. Click on 'continue with demo', and then click the start button (triangle) to the right of the Addictive Drums logo. AD will start, but you will hear nothing. Now arm the track where AD has been inserted (button to the far left of the track will turn red when you click on it). You should now hear the drums. Go back to the AD GUI, and click on the 'beats' button. You can now select from the loops that are listed, and as you click on each you will hear it play. When you find one that you like, just drag it into a Reaper track. You can drag as many loops as you want in" I`m a newbie to this, so your help is much appreciated, but when you`re saying that I just need to midi loops that are mapped to the right notes, I just don`t know what to do... For you this is probably the simplest thing, and maybe my project is like starting to read Ulysses before you`ve cracked the readingcode. Maybe there is some kind of step by step tutorial somewhere?

The guys in the chatroom would probably help you thru it pretty quick. Watching my gf's technophobe dad writing songs in EZ drummer after just a few minutes of messing around with it was pretty inspiring

I came across EZdrummer (also mentioned in this thread) ... yer_embedded This looks like what I`m looking for, but have no money for it now. Do you know any similar programs that are for free? B
