When you say you force a RealDrum track to MIDI, what happens is that the MIDI drums revert to the underlying MIDI style, which have nothing to do with the original RealDrums selected. It's even possible that the underlying style doesn't even have drums.

If you are trying to get your VSTi to play the same thing the RealDrums was playing via MIDI, that's not going to work that way. For example, you could have a straight even 16th RealDrum, but the underlying MIDI style could have had a swing 8ths style. So they won't necessarily sound even close. Not sure if that's what you are doing.

Have you tried loading just a pure MIDI style (and you might need to disable the auto substitution of RealDrums) to see if your VSTi plays that drum part? Also, remember that the BIAB drums are mapped as General MIDI, so you have to make sure that your VSTi is also GM compatible.

Give us some more information on exactly what you are trying to accomplish on that drum track. Which style did you select, so we can test the same thing?

Also, how did you disable the RealDrums? You should right click on the Drums radio button at the top of the interface and select "Force Drums Track To MIDI Drums". Also right click and select "Track Settings" and make sure that you see "Drums track enabled" with a check mark.

I did all of the above and everything worked for me, so the problem might be the underlying style itself, so let us know which style you are using.
