Does EZDrummer Jazz Expansion Pak have any decent bossa nova rhythms?

I'm looking to record some traditional bossa nova (e.g., Getz/
Gilberto).
Does anyone know whether the EZDrummer Jazz Expansion Pak has any of
these rhythms?

If not, is there any Toontrack library that will do this?

Thanks!

Just took a quick peek at the grooves with the Jazz EZX and I don't see
any Bossa Nova grooves.

I went ahead and bought it, and it does come with a great set of bossa
nova clips.
It's so good that it's really triggering my creativity :)

Yes...
I had forgotten how true this is :)

Funny, I still don't see any Bossa Nova grooves. Sorry for the bum steer.

I may not have installed them. Jazz has never been my "thing." I've
played it and it was fun but it's not what I like to do as a pleasure.

No problem...

The grooves are not very well-labeled.
Follow this path:

Jazz Expansion Pak
Pocket Midi
David Haynes
Straight 4/4
Song 4 140
Hats Sidestick

Yeah, now I hear it. That's one of the biggest problems with groove
libraries. They spend a lot of time getting great performances but no
one has really nailed a naming scheme and a way to find a particular
feel quickly.
