Tried adding TambourineCelticEv16 to a BIAB2021 project and got the following Yellow message; "Cannot load drum style, because no files named xxxxxx_style.txt are found in D\bb\Drums\TambourineCelticEv16" Got the same message when I tried to generate in RB2021. In BIAB a tambourine track was generated, but not the one I requested, it sounded like TambourineEv16 had been substituted. In RB, nothing was generated. I checked in the TambourineCelticEv16 folder and there is a text file TambourineCelticEv16_Style_110
This occurred using build 808 and 809, both BIAB and RB run as admin.
Yes, tried that, and jumped through a few other hoops before posting. I wanted to try a download and re-install but, unlike with RealTracks, I can't identify the source of this RD.
Yes, tempo range OK. Project is at 96, also tried at 110. This was on my laptop, also have BIAB2021 on desktop, same results there. Is this RD working for you?
It is working perfectly for me. I added it to a random song and it was added to the drum track.
Can you play the demo using the green play button in the drum menu?
Keep in mind that my install is on my E:\ drive but that should not make a difference as long as the program points to the right directory. And make sure that you are not using a custom drum directory where the drum tracks might not be. The box needs to be un-checked to use the default install location.
Here is the yellow message box I see and the drum directory.

Drums are in the default folder, other RDs were OK before I discovered this issue and are still OK, as are others chosen randomly. Yes, the demo plays and displays the same yellow message as your illustration. Have contacted support with this, but don't expect much from them during the current 2021 train crash.
Update. Dave from PGM replied very quickly, he noticed that some of the files were incorrectly labelled as _Style_110, but should be _110_Style. On his advice I renamed, unfortunately this didn't work but resulted in a different variation of the previous error message. This was at 1.00 a.m. so I replied to Dave, then called it a day.
Today I trawled through the full RealTracks listing and located TambourineCelticEv16 in Set 247, downloaded the relevant package and installed to a temporary folder. The files were correctly labelled, but had more recent dates. Copied this TambourineCelticEv16 folder across to bb\Drums and the track now generates successfully.
