Hi all, I'm new with Mdrummer and slowly trying to get into things... Now I'm trying to 'analyze and import sample library', set the path to my samples, set the output path, checked if the keywords are set correctly, click next and... nothing happens! I've checked and changed everything multiple, but still nothing at all happens. What did I do wrong?

Welcome to the deep and wonderful world of MDrummer.
Just tried it here and had no problems creating new imported sets. So after hitting next you don't get the 'Sample library analyser" window?

Tried again and it worked. I copy pasted the whole path from Finder, seems the path before was not found correctly. Unfortunately it now worked too good, not only my small favourites Folder was analyzed, but whole Samples on HDD. It took about 20 Minutes and now I have 3731 Drumsets in my Imported Folder... Is there a way to delete those not needed in MDrummer?

3731 
What I've done (if there's an easier way someone please tell me) If you find the 'Drumsets' folder (It's where the main drumsets like Drum Empire, Studio 2018 etc. are installed, so be careful in here) you can delete non-wanted sets from the 'Imported' folder.
Once you've deleted the drum sets in Live you have to remove MDrummer and reinsert it for the changes to show.

You can also delete them from within the Load Drumset window in MD... amounts to the same thing (except MD wouldn't have to be re-started I guess). Worth adding here that what you're deleting are merely 'drumset' files...the samples are still on your HD in their original locations (thankfully).
Bear in mind that if during the analyse/import process you chose the option to generate components (as well as generate complete drumsets) then you should also look for 'imported' folders in your components directory E.G. Drumsets/ Components/ Bass drum 1/ Imported.
Another approach would be to start again by using 'Delete all imported drumsets and components' (in the first page of the analyzer).
And yeah, it's best to just analyse/import smaller chunks of your library!

Really good information there goldglob, I'd forgotton about the components folder.
