Drum maps with session drummer 3

heya all , a ferw question for ya.
Is there a way to have session drummer assigned to a drum map so i can load it in the piano view and have it show me notes like it was in the DR-008 with piano view?
 
I can't seem to wrap my head around session drummer and Midi.. are the session drummer step sequencer steps differant than the piano view midi?
 
seems like they are NOT interchangeable?
what am i missing here i could never seem to get it down.
 
 

Mr. Garrigus is there a keyboard map which show which drums are assigned to which note?
 

If I add Session Drummer 3 as a synth and I go to the piano roll view the drum names are there. However, if I right click on a name, select configure and go to the drum map manager, there is none. My goal is to re-assign which pad in my kit triggers which sound in Session Drummer 3. It seems I can control the output (which sound each drum makes), but not the input (which pad triggers which drum).
 
I could just use a drum map, but I don't know how to assign each drum to a separate track. Can anyone assist?

Thank you so much for the quick response. I apologize for my ignorance in this, but I am an old school drummer trying to work in a new world. Can you please take a moment to clarify a bit? What is a GM? Are you saying that drum maps are available for Session Drummer 2? If so, how do I get them?
 
One problem I am attempting to solve is that I have a cymbal on my kit that does not trigger a sound in Session Drummer 3 and I can't figure out how to reassign it to one of the existing outputs. That's why I thought a drum map would be the better way to go.
 
Any additional advice would be appreciated. Again, I apologize for my lack of knowledge. By the way, if there are videos, classes or basic lessons available, I'd love to know about them.
 
Many thanks.

This video might be some help. I made it a few years ago but it still applies.

The video wont get you all the way there but it might help with the basics.
To get more in depth you'll need to create a drum map to tailor your own needs.
But as Steve said, There are quite a few drum maps already in sonar (over 100+).
So you should be able to get close.
 

By the way, Chuck, I had already discovered that first video and it helped me tremendously!! In addition to doing a great job explaining the process, you also have a great voice for audio. Thank you so much!
