Instead of choosing a stereo version of the exs, use the multi version. 
Then edit the instrument
and assign each group to a separate output. (ie, Kicks to one output, 
Snare to another
and so on.) You should obviously save this new version of the kit.

Then, in your environment, assign each aux to receive on the 
corresponding
channel from the exs instrument. Now you have complete control over 
each drum!

Hope that makes sense. :)

The only drawback I know by using this method is that you can't freeze 
a multi instrument.

And yes, Drumkit from Hell does sound really good.
