Try this on your drumtracks:

Mode
pad 7 (program pad)
Params
make sure the "play" is set to poly

rec + start = starts recording from begining and will erase whatever else is on that track.

overdub + start = starts recording from begining and will overdub/add to that track.

record all your drums onto one track. after recording copy that drum track several times. edit out/delete different instruments in each track until you ONLY have ie, kick trk1, snr trk2, hihat trk3, etc...
