Flip channels on a stereo clip?

I'm hoping someone can help me fix what I think should be an easy issue (though I can't figure it out). I just recorded my MIDI drums to audio (about 16 tracks worth). Afterwards I realize the sounds on some of the tracks were playing through the wrong speaks (panning), it was then I discovered I plugged the sounds cables into my drum machine on the wrong channels;
 
Is there anyway to flip a clip so for example, what was predominantly playing in the left channel can be switched to predominantly play from the right channel (hope this is understandable)????

Channel Tools has a preset to swap channels

Do what I do; tell them I had a left-handed drummer on those songs.

Whether it's "wrong" or not depends on whether you're placing drums according to the drummer's perspective or the audience's. 

The first 3 books in "The Musician's Guide to Home Recording" series are available from Hal Leonard and http://www.reverb.com. Listen to my music on http://www.YouTube.com/thecraiganderton, and visit http://www.craiganderton.com. Thanks!

Thanks Scook,
 
I think that's the fix. If I exchange the channels using channel tools then bounce to clip that should fix it without having to re-record the tracks. Normally I wouldn't bother, but it's about the feel on this track that makes the difference.
