It means that the Drum part was recorded using a real live drummer on a MIDI drum kit. Thus there is no automatic pattern generator involved.

BUT -- you should be able to see the recorded MIDI notes on the notation view and edit them out one note at a time, or perhaps on the PianoRoll View for nonreaders.

What you are hearing is most likely a MIDI patch that is sampled of someone playing up on the bell of a cymbal.

The whole thing might change sound by switching to a different MIDi drumkit without having to resort to Style editing. Or a different MIDI synth may have a more pleasing sound for that hit.
