Has anyone had luck playing an electric drum kit via MIDI into Finale?

If so, how do you map the sounds?

First off, you mean MIDI drums, not MINI drums. Second, in one post you mention PrintMusic. However, your profile says you have Finale 3.1. So, in which program are you trying to enter via MIDI drums?

How old is 3.1? It must predate 2004, since that’s my oldest.

I started with either 3.0 or 3.1 in 1996.

I'm using a 2010 version of Print Music. Not sure way it's saying 3.1. Currently using Print Music, but will be upgrading to Finale if I can be sure this will work.

Download the demo and try it. There is a world of difference between PM2010 and Finale 26.
