have u placed the .dll or VST in your default VST folder?
if so,
-just create new track -click "FX" -search your VST folder until you find S2 -doubleclick S2 or -right click the left side of the screen where the tracks go and "insert VST" -search your VST folder until you find S2 -double-click S2
the first way should open on one track and you can access S2 through the FX button.
the second way should open all the different tracks for mixing individually like a mic'd set.
at least that's how AD is.
i prefer way 1 but its just preference.

Hmmm, okay I understand, but I don't know where the S2.dll would be.
My superior 2 is installed in c/program filesx86/toontrack

Yup, okay, I've found it and added it, but when I go to the VST option in FX I can't find S2, and I've looked in all the other places :/
edit: Oops hehe, I forgot to hit re-scan first Found it in VSTi

hmm If you did this while Reaper was open, you need to close reaper and re open it, so it will show up.
Edit: Oh okay you found it , ask if you need anymore help

Okay, now my reaper looks like this:
is there a way to get a piano roll type thing so I can "tab out" my drum tracks? Like in FL studio?
At this point I don't know how to track drums with reaper

Awesome, now just hold down CTRL + click on the empty space in the track and drag the mouse, this creates an empty midi file. Then you just double click it and it will open up that piano kind of thing your talking about.

I think that might be your problem but if not you have to set up your sound card to work with Reaper.I just noticed on the top right of your Reaper screen in the photo, it says "[Audio Device Closed]". click on it and set up your sound card.

Awesome let me know If you need any more help.
Oh and btw if you want to change the theme of reaper you can check this page out:
EDIT: Yeah you can change it by using programs like Drumagog, KTDrummTrigger, or ApTrigga to change the sounds of a drumset

Okay, I've checked out some youtube videos, and I think I like apTrigga the best. Though what I've noticed in every video, is that every piece of the drum is broken down into tracks, as to where I though when you track drums you do it in one whole track.
I'm assuming I need to do it like this:
track1: snare track2: kick track3: tom hi track4: tom mid track5: tom low track6: overhead cymbals
etc etc, right ?

You said your unhappy about the kick, so a while back I posted a 6 pack download of different drum samples, which btw includes Andy Sneaps kick, and a lot of other great kick samples.
Download all 6 parts, once ALL have finished downloading, highlight all 6 parts at the same time, right click, and select extract. Once you do this, It will extract all 6 parts into 1 single neat file.

Right! I usually set it up like track 1=Kick track 2=snare track 3=Hi Hat track 4=Toms track 5= OverHead track 6= Room
You can pretty much have whichever set up works best for you but I made this preset here since your new to Reaper Just open this preset and it will automatically load up SD and separate (kick, snare, Hihat etc.) tracks on Reaper's mixer all set up for you.
To open a track template just right click the track header and choose Insert track from template and then Open template.

If you use the preset I posted above for you, you don't have to write in separate tracks, you just write in the track that Superior drummer is placed on, I set up that preset for you so that for example whenever the kick is played in SD, it is automatically sent to the kick track, that way you dont have to write in seperate tracks. Just do your whole midi drum track in that first track that Superior Drummer is placed on.

Do you mean like, for example if you did a drum track in guitar pro and you want to export it and put the midi file into reaper. Do you mean like how you can import the tempo from guitar pro into Reaper?

before you start writing midi in the piano roll make sure to change the timebase of your project from time to beats. Why?
Let's say that you need 4 measures with 120bpm and another 4 with 140bpm. If you have written you midi file in the 120bpm measures and then try to drag it/copy it to 140bpm measures then your file will break.
Cause it will follow time rathen than beats. So when creating a new project do the above i told you, like this:
To change the tempo in different measures: Left Click the measure you need. Press Shift + C . Type in the tempo. Done

Nice ! Thanks for the heads up
I managed to import my midi drum tracks from guitar pro instead of writing everything (THANK GOD.) and it works amazingly.
Now, all I need to find is a good synth VST that has some voice Oohs and Aahs and some piano
Would you guys know anything about those?

Argh, I have another question! Sorry for all the questions.
So like I mentioned in my previous post, I found out you could import .midi files from guitar pro. Is there a way to import the drum tracks and split them with the kick, snare, toms, overheads and such in the same manner that was shown earlier in this topic ?

Hmm, yes kind of, but I've tried following those steps and it doesn't work... there must be something I am missing
I'll try to explain as best as I can.
what I want to do is import drum tracks from guitar pro into reaper, but I want to have seperated tracks (kick, snare, toms) so that I can add drumagog/aptrigga and such

well, I think I did. when importing the midi file, should there only be the drum tracks? or the whole thing like (guitar 1, guitar 2, guitar harmony, bass, synth, etc) or like I said, should there only be the drum track ?
and how do I add a midi file to a specific track? because when I try to import a midi in reaper it asks me to either split them up in like 6 tracks, on 1 full track of everything together

The midi files should be in the track that you haved added your VSTi not at the sends of it.
For example if you need to use Open SD2 in Track 1, Kick in track 2, snare in Track 3 etc.. the midi should be in Track 1, where your SD2 is active. Track2, track 3 etc are the sends of track 1

right, but when I import my midi file and play the truck that is called "drums" it does not send the rest (snare, toms, overheads) to the other tracks, it just plays the whole kit in one track

Helpppppp
Found it in VSTi
If you did this while Reaper was open, you need to close reaper and re open it, so it will show up. 
let me know If you need any more help.
