haveing set up a midi drum track...remember you have sforzando and synthmaster with their drum sounds that pg include with bb and rb.
as well as a ton of often free drum plugins you can get on the net.
so the midi track from the style sends midi data to the drum plugin and thus the drum sounds are produced.
There are also drum styles in rb for quickie drum tracks in various musical styles seperate from midi in pg styles...see the rb manual.
these have been around for a long time and i encourage you to experiment with them in rb....youll notice via dialog in rb you can select many drum styles eg rock or waltz or whatever. for example in rb you could have a mixture of pg real drums on various tracks as well as midi drum tracks...thus if you want you could create the illusion of two drummers eg one rd in a bossa style and a midi bossa style.

i gotta stop there cos otherwise this would go on for pages but suffice to say theres a ton of drum midi tricks in rb.
you can also if you wish in rb have lots of midi drum tracks or mixtures of rd and midi drum tracks.
i encourage you to delve into the rb manual as well as the right click over a rb track which will result in a loooong menu with a load of options. ...skys the limit. the options in the looong rb right clik menu ive never seen the combo in any daw.
