I am in need of software/ hardware that can remove drums from mp3 or wave files. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so where might I find info on this? Thanks

unlikely - drums tend to be lots of noise with sharp transients which cross all (if not a large number of audible) frequencies.
If you had a short section of 'drums-only' from the track, you may be able to take fingerprint in AdobeAudition and noise-reduce the drums, but I really wouldn't expect much in the name of clarity to remain.
depending on your demands, this method of noise reduction may be enough.
other methods of instrument isolation like centre-channel extraction probably won't suffice as drums are usually spread across the stereo spectrum.
I don't want to pu a downer on things, but you're probably better off trying to recreate the track from scratch if your expecting to having a clean drum-removal.
maybe in 50 years, when this kind of technology will no doubt have moved on in leaps and bounds, you'll be able to isolate instruments like that. I guess the closest we've got at the moment is the polyphonic analysis in Melodyne3, but although it can determine most of the pitches in a chord, we cannot shift the embedded note itself.
maybe.
