Recording MIDI from the SI Drum Kit

I got the boxed set for MC5 during the '10 Christmas holidays and have not had a great deal of time to play around with the SI Drum Kit.  I wanted to know if there is a way of "playing" the drum kit and having that action be recorded to a midi track.  For example if you open a project and insert the SI Drum Kit you can see a track for it, in which you can drag and drop pre-canned patterns directly from the drum kit UI.   Is there any way to set another midi track or even the SI Drum kit track to record then play the kit if you will and have the pattern recorded. 

Thanks in advance for the help.

    Nah, the onscreen kit is only for auditioning sounds. You have to have MIDI data in a track to play through SID. You can use a MIDI keyboard or drum machine, or control surface as an input device with it's output set to SID while recording that input device. You'll see the drums react as you record

    Most drum-VSTs work so that you drag the included MIDI-beats to a MIDI-track, and edit them in the Piano Roll if you feel like it, or you record the MIDI with you MIDI-keyboard or other controller.

    Soft synths are never recorded to audio, you freeze or bounce them. I'm quite sure this is explained in the manual and tutorials.
