Just wondering, what is the "preferred" method to midi edit down some drums? I mean in the midi edit, it can get so confusing! I'm not sure if I like using the stepchild yet in making beats... What do you guys do?

Whats the best way to track down drums?

I sometimes assign a track for each important drum sound.. often using Tracktion's native sampler.
You can still see drum patterns in relation to each other by jiggling the track sizes so multiple editors are visible.
This has the added bonus that PDC always works as expected.. I've become addicted to SIR on drums!

sorry 
PDC = plug-in delay compensation: Some plugs delay the signal due to the nature of the algorithm. Tracktion compensates for this automatically most of the time, but there are some situations where it can't.. if your snare drum is on it's own track however, firing it's own dedicated sampler, then SIR can be inserted with no problems..
SIR = Super Impulse Reverb:

This allows "Convolution" type reverb (with suitable impulse files) Convolution is a technique which allows the sonic characters of real spaces (or classic studio hardware) to be "sampled" & applied to other signals.. but it tends to be very cpu intensive, & SIR has a high fixed latency: hence the need for PDC!
