How to use OddGrooves drum loops with Toontrack EZdrummer

EDIT April 22, 2012: We got some questions regarding the installation process and it seems there is an easier way. Here goes:


In EZdrummer, first click on the Help menu (question mark in the upper right corner), then choose User MIDI Folder and navigate up one level (this is important) to the folder simply called MIDI. That’s  where you should put any third party MIDI files.

To get the OddGrooves folder in place, drag it into the EZdrummer grooves MIDI folder.

Done!

Instructions on how to install the EZDrummer files. Click the images to the right for a visual guide.
First things first: EZDrummer is a registered trademark of Toontrack. To use our product, you will of course need to have EZDrummer installed on your computer. Please visit Toontrack for more info.
Unzip the file OddGrooves_<Basic, Advanced, Crazy>_Drumming_EZD.zip in the EZ Drummer MIDI Folder. On a PC the MIDI files are typically located at C:\Program Files\EZdrummer\MIDI and on a Mac it should be Library/Application Support/EZDrummer/MIDI. Do not put the files in the “My Midifiles” folder, as some of the material will not work correctly.

If you are unsure, please consult your EZDrummer documentation.
Once installed, the OddGrooves files will appear in the User Libraries section of EZDrummer. You can then drag-and-drop the OddGrooves MIDI files into your arrangement exactly the same way as the stock MIDI that came with EZDrummer.
