Weird problem recording drums with keyboard - help

I have Sonar Artist. Just got it, trying to get it to work. One remaining problem. I want to "play" drums on a midi keyboard. I set up SessionDrummer according to a video (from Cakewalk) I saw on Youtube. Each drum on a different track. So this is the thing. I can successfully record the drums the way I stated. I can play the tracks back and hear the drum sounds. But when I try to view the data with Staff View or Piano Roll View, nothing shows up. Every track blank, even though there's obviously data there, because I can hear it. But I can't edit anything. So why don't the notes show up in the views I mentioned? And of course most importantly, how can I view the data?

There are 2 ways to play Session Drums with a controller. Individual instruments may be recorded by hitting the notes mapped to the instruments (MIDI notes 22,26 and 35 through 81) . The MIDI loops loaded into Session Drummer may also be triggered by recording MIDI notes 24, 27 though 34. When doing the latter, the loops will play but only the trigger data would show up in the PRV. It is not clear which method you are using.
 
If Session Drummer is making sound while the transport is running, it is either playing recorded MIDI data coming from somewhere and/or the SD transport is setup to run when the SONAR transport starts (there will be a red box around the play button in the SD transport).

I'm not sure what I recorded. I can tell you that, following the instructions in the video, I have 1 track which is the midi track, all the drum tracks are instrument tracks. Everything is in a folder. I have tried zooming out the views and still see nothing.
The question you asked is something I've wondered about. How I can I tell? I'm seeing nothing.

Chuck, I watched your video. Looks like exactly what I did, although it's possible that I missed a detail. As I mentioned above, everything seems to be working fine except for being able to view/edit the data.
In any case, I've got some things to try from this thread. When I get home I'll try them. I'll report back with what happens. Sure hope I can get this fixed. I stuck as far as making music goes if I can't get the drums to work!

Well, one problem solved, many more to go...
I found out, through trial and error, that the reason I couldn't see the recorded data is that it only appears if you record it on the midi track, not on the instrument (drum) track. This strikes me as really weird, because if I only arm the instrument track, and then record, you'll hear it but you won't see anything. The thing to do is to arm the midi track- then you can hear it AND see it. Another strange thing: if I arm BOTH the instrument track and the midi track, I get 2 recordings, but they are not in sync. I can distinctly hear 2 drum sounds for every midi note.
Thanks everyone for your input, I really appreciate it.

I'm not sure about the terminology. I set up the drums exactly according to a video tutorial by CW. In any case, it works, and I feel very good about that.

SCook, I looked at those track templates. Yes, they're helpful. Essentially what I did step-by-step, which actually I'm glad I did because I learned some things. Anyway, thanks for your input.
