Hold your horses, please.

Have you ever tried to play drums on the keyboard? Believe me, GM
setup is the most anti-intuitive one you can imagine.

Having said this, I WOULD appreciate if every synth/module providing
drumkits HAD one GM-compatible kit. At the end of the day it can be
just this synth standard kit, remapped to meet the criteria of GM
compatibility. And the only expense is the memory used to store
another key->sample matching table. ZROM for the win!
