His scook, yes, I was able to get individual tracks made for EZDrummer.  However, the midi track reading the DR880 midi coming in was not routing the mdi to those individual EZDrummer tracks.

Just one more thing, you can control the amount of mic bleed using the switches at the top of the mixer. These give you even more control when breaking out each audio track.

I'm not sure how much this helps...  Even as a software developer, this looks foreign to me. 
It's the DR-880 MIDI Implementation document.

Thats not the way it works. MIDI wont route anything as far as audio is concerned. That is up to the synth. 

You need the proper MIDI map and all the EZDrummer audio inputs need to be set to the appropriate EZDrummer audio output. The proper SONAR routing happens if you insert EZDrummer and select the following options in the SONAR "Insert Soft Synth Options" Dialog
Midi Source
Synth Track Folder
All Synth Audio Ouputs: Stereo

If you insert the synth using those options and configure the EZDrummer mixer to multichannel, you should be able to play the drums with your mouse to verify the setup. The next piece of the puzzle is to get the DR-880 MIDI mapped properly.

Yeah, the DR-880 reads like all hardware stuff. Fortunately, you do not need to read or understand any of that to use it for what we are talking about. That stuff can be fun to play with and you might want to spend some time to wrap your head around it as a programming exercise, if you like that kind of thing. Happily all you need to make sure is that you can record the DR-880 MIDI into SONAR (which you have done), that that MIDI is mapped to the correct instrument in EZDrummer (yet to do with a drum map) and the audio output of EZDrummer is going to the correct tracks in SONAR (yet to do via SONAR/EZDrummer setup).

@ Redbarchetta....Very nice my friend...I think you are first person I have actually helped solve their issue! Glad it worked out and you could follow what I was trying to say. Each time I have respoonded here I was either working, like right now, or about to fall asleep so I wasn't as clear as I could have been. Anyways, I hope all goes a bit more smoothly with the DR880...I have spent quote abit of time like you have trying to get it to do what I wanted, as well. It's a fun unit and makes building drums pretty easy...cheers and good luck!

Try creating a custom kit. I did for my Dr880 and Yamaha Edrums. I use Superior Drummer, but EZD is similar.

Each drum midi note corresponds to each kit piece.

C1 might be kick 
D1 Snare
C2 Rack tom 1
 
etc.

When you highlight a kit piece in EZD, look at the corresponding note. Click on the drum kit piece. Assign the note you want. For example if your kick is on C2, Set it to C1. Click the kick and see if the sound is what you want. Do that for all toms, cymbals etc. You can save that as your own custom kit in EZD.

If you can find a map for it, that's easier. I didn't see any maps for Sonar when I went through this.

I did not have a problem with SD3 recognizing all the separate 880 instruments once I set up the mixer. 
It just wouldn't recognize the bass. 
So I copied the track and used the TTS-1 synth for the bass and just killed the volume on the drums.



I have yet to use a drum map as I haven't figured out the value other than for naming tracks. there must be a good reason for it tho.

M-Glen...make sure you have Input Echo enabled on your bass track and that you have your drums output through SD3...make two separate tracks one for bass using the TTS1 with the input set to channel 2... set it's audio output to the TTS1 output 1\2 output. Set the input of your SD3 MIDI track to channel 10 and it's output to SD3...set the output ( or outputs if you have each drum on separate tracks)to whatever you main outs are or whatever buss you are using...check out the video at Sonar University...BIG help for me and I am sure it will help you... http://cakewalk.com/CakeT.SONARU.aspx/Master-Class Hope this helps and wasn't too confusing......I am half asleep so I think I need to crash...good luck!
