What task are you trying to perform with the set up you just mentioned? With the equipment you have listed ,there are a number of things that you can do but, you wont be able to do it
with just a "connect everthing one way and leave it" approach.

Be specific as to what you want to do with the drum machine, the sampler, the yamaha, and lets take it from there...

Your drum machine is stopping the signal. Outs only transmit midi that originates on that port. A thru will pass on midi.

Yamaha Out- Comp In
Yam In - Comp Out
Yama Thru - Samplers, keys, etc last one the drum machine.
