Without third party software, your best bet are the wav format files 
for drum sounds; providing they are not velocity switch samples. You 
can easily load multiple wav files at once and have the EXS 
automatically map them out chromatically across the keyboard, all in 
one shot.

But if they are velocity based multi samples, then it's a different 
story. Unless they are all uniformly sampled across the velocity ranges 
equally (in which case you can import them in kind and treat them as 
groups), I don't think there is any easy way around having to manually 
adjust the velocity ranges and other parameters on a sample by sample 
basis.
