Thanks for writing up your method of isolating and routing 6 drum 
instruments to 6 separate audio outs.  I have not been doing much 
music lately and don't really have specifics to recommend regarding 
patchcords and drum sounds. 

I have experimented a little with patchcord-based effects and have 
written up some things pertaining to non-drum sounds. I assume you 
can do similar things with drums. I will try to search the archives 
and will post links if I think they apply to your needs.

In the meantime, I hope others have more direct experience with drum 
instruments they can share.
