This is a good start to overcoming the limitation on no-user-kits in the
XX7.  Use the link-preset features as you have mentioned as well as the four
layers in each preset.  Up to 12 separate drum or percussive sounds can be
assembled this way, including each having its own range of the keyboard to
respond as appropriate (including pitch shifting) and things like separate
filtering, tuning, effecting...

To make this work though using the included kit instrument files is probably
not the easiest way.  Emu has generously included additional instrument
files in the PRC category which are individual samples of each instrument.
So, for example, there are quite a few kick and snare instruments to choose
from.  Poke around in those and see if they do what you are looking for.

Also, with this type of approach to drum kit programming remember that *any*
instrument file along with suitable synth programming is fair game for
making a "drum" sound.  Lots and lots of potential lying in wait!
