I'd like to make a nice realtracks swing with jingle bells for some Christmas tunes. I did it with the old midi drums. Is it posible to add a track to real drums to add sleigh bells from the midi drums? (I guess I could add an audio track).

Making an audio track is probably the simplist, then just patch it where you need it in RB or PT.

Or

Make a midi track throughout the whole song in RB or PT and conver the track to audio.

I often make a MIDI file of the song and take that into a sequencer. With the right option, you will get a MIDI drum track in addition to the RealDrum track.

Then I edit all data out of that MIDI drum track (easily done on the piano roll) below about F over middle C, so stuff like snare, tom tom, etc all gets erased. Then I add Latin percussion, cymbal hits etc as needed.

You could easily add the jingle bells this way.

There is a midi style for that kicking around. I'm not on my Microsoft machine, but you'd have to invoke that style, and perhaps put the drums on another track and mute the style where you didn't want the jingle bells, they do become annoying after a few minutes....
