I did download and reinstall RealDrum Sets 1-10, 11-20, & 21-29. About 3Gb of data. Clearly most people only get a choice of one demo song (with the correct 3/4 drums).
I think I'll report this to the developers

Here is what I have on my hardrive. If you don't count the duplicates, I have 1 style file, 1 sgu file and 1 WMA file.
I've got two different demo's. Interestingly Demo #1 which has the incorrect RealDrums is from a much later date (2019) (Tip: Right-click and open image in new tab to see full size)

That looks like a leftover from an earlier install. Sort of looks like to me that back in the olden days (2019), that drum package might have had the 4/4 version included.
As a last look, I would see if you have more then 1 WMA file on the hard drive. I only have one and that plays in 3/4 time. If you happen to have more then 1, I would not be surprised if the other one plays in 4/4 time.
Like I have said, I have seen it in the past with one other another style.

.. whatever time everyone is gonna play in, I'm doing something else .. If Belew is gonna play a 10 note phrase, I'm gonna do 11 eventually it will resolve
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome Make your sound your own!

Definitely only one BM_CWLTZ.wma file on the disk, and only one BM_CWLTZ.sty but there are two different .sgu files.
The WMA would be what I hear if I listen to a pre-made demo, which is different to what I hear when I load the Song Demo. BTW, the WMA file has the correct drum timing.

And I assume one of the two SGU files you have loads the incorrect drum pattern?
That's exactly correct.
Number 1 plays the 4/4 drum pattern (in 3/4) Number 2 plays a 3/4 drum pattern
I can fix it by just deleting the first SGU, but I'm not the only person who has this problem, so it won't fix the issues others are witnessing also.
Another interesting item is that number 2 has a date of 2013 and number 1 has a date of 2019

I would venture to say that everyone who has this problem will have 2 SGU files on their PC instead of just 1. If it were me having the problem, I would just delete the 4/4 version. I doubt that PGMUSIC will have an update that would delete the erroneous file if present.

If the O/P reads this (or any one else with the same problem), look in: x:\bb\Demos\RealTracks - Demos\ check to see if you have these two BM_CWLTZ demo files, and delete (perhaps rename) the highlighted one shown here:

I have both demos, and removed the first one with the fiddle. The second one loads fine, but if I load the style itself instead of the demo song, I still have the problem with the 4/4 time on the drum track.

Hope this helps.

I've reported it to the developers again.
