FWIW, SONAR has always included a bunch of drum maps. The location is defined in Preferences.  [SNIP]
On my old XP machine I found an archive of SONAR 7 Producer, the drum maps were stored at "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Cakewalk\SONAR 7 Producer Edition\Drum Maps."

scook,

I found my drum maps in a very similar location, so they're certainly still on my computer.  I've also applied updates 7.01 and 7.02 (IIRC the "Version" numbers). 

I checked the directory locations under "Preferences," and it has the correct directory noted, but SONAR *still* won't "load" the drum maps from that location.  

Any idea how I can help SONAR 7 "see" those drum maps?  Thanks again in advance.  

I only have SONAR X1 installed but this should not be much different.
In the track view
Open a MIDI track and click on the output drop-down. Two of the options are "New Drum Map" and "Drum Map Manager." The "New Drum Map" option displays the presets. The "Drum Map Manager" tool will populate it's preset drop-down after telling it to create a new drum map. HTH
