Hi.
First, a drum map is a list of the patches a particular device or software synthesizer uses.
For instance, if you select the Alesis SR-16 Acid Kit drum map, that just gives you the names of the drums and allows you to play those patches through an Aesis SR-16. If you don't have an Alesis SR-16, you'll get the standard General MIDI sounds, not the SR-16's sounds.
If you select a Session Drummer 2 soft synth drum map and don't have that soft synth, you'll hear the standard GM sounds.
What drum map are you wanting to use and do you have the device or synth it's associated with?
Do you mean you want to edit the drum track in the drum grid and the piano roll all at the same time? Or 2 different MIDI tracks?
You have to close the drum grid, which is really the Piano roll, in order to open another track's piano roll. If you have drums on track 2 and saxophone on track one and working in track 2's drum grid/piano roll and click track one then the piano roll view icon, since you still have track 2's PRV open, it will open instedd of track 1's PRV.
Close 1 track's view before opening another's.
