Problems Loading GM Drumset Soundfont into SB Live!

I downloaded a couple of multi-layered drum kits from http://www.hammersound.net. I was able to decompress them and load them up in bank 10 of the SB Live Audio HQ and all appeared to go well. The memory was reallocated appropriately. The problem is that after I loaded up the soundfont it says there are no instruments present on bank 10. What am I doing wrong?
 
never mind

Never Mind, got it figured out. When I load a Twiddly Bits .mid file, it creates about 16 different drum tracks that all play at the same time, so you have to mute all of them except one. Plus I happened to select a conga drum section of the mid file. Sheesh.
 
Just a note, SK, the patch lists usually shown for a GM or Sound Font set show this because each patch is a single "instrument" assigned to all the keys, with a different pitch assigned to each note. Drumkits don't show separate patches because they are a single patch, just with different parts of a drum kit and other percussion assigned to each note.
