Have you added the EZ dll to a folder known to Reaper?
Check the options/Vst folders in Reaper and add the EZ's vst folder if it's missing.

I moved the whole EZ file into the reaper plugin file but still nothing and then the solo programme couldnt find the sounds, is it just a .dll file i need to put in the plugin folder in reaper then?

Check the hard drive where you installed ezdrummer. In program files there should be a folder Steinberg\Vstiplugins or something like that (it should contain file ezdrummer.dll). Then go to the Reaper -> Options -> Preferences -> Vst and add this folder. It should work smile.gif!

...and the rest of the files/folders should be where they were initially installed.

Yeah, rescanning VSTs is something you need to do
after you move .dll file.
Just .dll tho if I'm right, rest of the program should stay where is was
after you installed it. smile.gif

Ok, I think I've done it......

I can now select the EZ vst as an effect on the track, right? so its insert virtual instrument on new track and select EZ drummer, seems to work anyway.

Why does it build so many tracks in reaper though? When I open it it inserts about eight tracks, is for the stereo effect?

Hey sted,

do it this way:
Create a track in reaper(not 'insert virtual instrument on new track')
Go to your fx browser and drag 'Toontrack(16 out) on the new track.

Now you have only one track with ezdrummer loaded.
If you do it your way you use the multichannel feature ezdrummer. Every instrument of the drumkit(snare, kick, hats, room...) has their own channel. You can click on the ezdrummer mixer and select 'multichannel' as output - now all of your tracks in reaper are in use and you can apply different effects(like reverb) on them.
