Using the drum set and drum machine is a little frustrating when you’re trying to play midis with them as they do not receive any MIDI input unless they are manually set to Unknown Drums rather than the sound sets the input wants to use. I’ve included a couple of videos below to show what is happening, using a midi player and the software loopMIDI as input.
Steps to Reproduce
Sit on the drum set or drum machine in your condo. Using a MIDI input device, play the instruments.
What I expected to happen
When the input device tells the drums to change the sound set, they should still be reading the drum input.
What happened
Drums are only registering input when Unknown Drums is selected. If the MIDI input device sets it to anything else or if you manually set it to anything else, there is nothing being registered.

Bongos appear to work perfectly fine, but that’s probably because they don’t have any way to change their input. I’ve also noticed when first sitting down in an instrument or the MIDI Maestro, all instruments start as Unknown Instrument/Drums, but I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it.
