Select the drum track, click the "I"nfo button, and choose one of the other drum kit instruments.
When I have my Midi controller keyboard hooked up to the computer, it seems like I can only access 1 sound of drums. I might want my snare drum to be a higher pitch or a different sound in cymbals etc. How can I change the sounds of the drums? I am not referring to using the pitch bend wheel on the M-Audio keyboard either. If you scroll through all the drum loops or kits you will hear different sounding drums. How can I get those same sounds through the midi keyboard so I can tap out my own pattern?

There's also some manual controls, but I have never got them to do much. If you download some drum kit sound fonts, many of them have pitch controls. Try the ns_free kit here

Be sure to read the license agreement if you use the NS kit, there are restrictions with regard to what you are allowed to do with the instrument.
True. Although I wrote to them about it once, and they wrote back saying they didn't care, UNLESS I got signed by Sony Records or something like that. LOL
