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.

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.
