Yes, the only problem is that most of my drums in the EXS are not 
mapped the same was so then I have to do a lot of customisation every 
time I use drums.

I find it easier to just pull up another EXS and load the instrument 
I'm looking for play away and have it right there.

What would be a nice feature of Logic is to unload samples from the 
EXS' memory that aren't being played. Would save quite some 
resources. But of course this requires quite some planning and clever 
thinking before and the development costs are probably higher than 
the benefit for most people.
