[Rwp] Reaper and EzDrummer

[Hadi Rezaee]

That Potcast is freaking awesome. The most fact that I like about is 
that Alex goes through stuff fast enough for me to not lose interest and 
actually follow up with things.
I have a question guys. I want to get this drum VST, but how do you 
actually play it? do i have to write notes? or you do it with some sort 
of controller? I want to play some drums alongside of my electric guitar.
Alex, I hope some day you spare some of your time and put up a potcast 
about general tips and tricks for guitar editting in reaper. I  mostly 
use reaper to practice live; but it wouldn't hurt to do some recordings 
for fun too.
You know, all that trimming, cutting extra noise out, 
nudgin/looping/awesome stuff you do for editting electric guitar tracks.
