Drums - Why does Multi-Out sound Different than the Preset?

EZD2 (..or any multi-out drum kit)
1 The Preset has it's own custom mix (all out channel 1) and sounds good. ---> DRUMS [bus]
2 If all the drums then being (multi-out) to tracks and all the tracks sent to (1) stereo bus, should it not sound exactly the same as the preset? ---> DRUMS [bus] sounds like cardboard, even though all the reverb, Amb, etc. are on their own tracks, sent to 1 bus, no additional effects are added.

It could also do with the panning.  Stereo out might have the panning set, but when the synth outputs to multi with mono tracks, I think the panning is center for everything unless you set it in the output track (the overheads and/or room might be panned hard L/R.)  Also, almost always, when I use multi out the tracks are too hot and when summed by Sonar end up clipping.
 
I am not familiar with EZD2 but AD2 has a mixer section and you can output the processed stereo channel as well so it shouldn't be different

Is there a pre-fader or post-fader option when sending out from the internal mixer? 
 
One of the reasons I ended up with the Steven Slate Drums is that the levels and processing didn't change when going to multi-out. I love Battery from NI, but it always gave me problems with multi-out.

I use SD2 and have no change when using multi-out...or nothing that I have noticed.

Thanks everyone for the helpful ideas. I don't have to use EZD, but I am looking to get a multi-out 1:1 with any of the the presets. I have access to: EZD2, SD, AD2
 

jb101When you start routing everything out to individual outputs you've lost all that processing so you'll have to replicate it inside Sonar.

I think this is true with EZD, I'll check the routing again and go through the suggestions, and see what works.
 

jb101I am thinking some kind of routing issue, as I have EXdrummer2 and Superior Drummer 2, among others, and have not noticed any change.

SuperiorDrummer and AddictiveDrums2,  have more options, (AD2 is actually good) so if you know for sure EZDrummer2 can be routed 1:1 please post an image or tutorial.

added 2 audio files at the start of this thread.

This sounds right:

reginaldStjohn map the buss outputs to your SONAR tracks and not the individual mic channels.

  If anyone cares to link a tutorial on how to set-up a BUS multi-out.
 
AddictiveDrums2 is doing the same thing. The closest to the preset sound is Separate out (Pre-fader) + Master
All the effects (OH, Room, etc.) get sent to the Master, so it's not dry sounding, but it still sounds different.
Some noticeable sound issues:
"MIDI doubling effect" it's really noticeable on the snare it sounds thin (like when two midi notes hit at the same time)
Even if the kick and snare tracks are muted.
 
Here is what I'm trying to do:
Each drum (to sound exactly like the preset) only output to it's own track for more tweaking.
Some of the kit pieces sound great as is, some sound great, but just need some tweaking.
example: kick sounds ok, but I want to mix the kick + AUX track to trigger a gated sub and add EQ on individual drums. When they are blended with the mains, it sounds terrible. So the drum main outs (preset and multi-out) sound the same, but the multi-out tracks get added to it, that's when it sounds wrong.
