An alternative way of working which gives you a pseudo
multitimbral/multioutput drumkit is to create an old fashioned MIDI
instrument set to omni and cable this to multiple EXS24s each set to
receive on a unique channel.

You just use the MIDI instrument on an arrange track, that way you have 
just one track with different notes on different channels to address 
each instance of EXS.

And you can mix the EXS24s separately in your audio environment.
