metalhead noob on drum recording

[sagjer]

so, good evening.
i'm running a project for a little while now and i have 9-10 doom/death songs ready to be recorded.
they are composed in guitar pro 5.2 (yeah yeah i know... its the only software im familiar with)
and i wish to start recording the drums.

my former band's sound engineer suggested me that i extract the drum sequences in MIDI form
and import them into Cubase.

but i dont have the slightest piece of idea how this thing works.
could you do me any help with links or a few words about it?

lastly, how can i put in different tracks, the snare, the toms, the cymbals etc. ?
i wanna work on their equalizing, sound and their effects differently
and i dont think this is possible if they are all on the same track. (is it?)

thank you in advance guys

It's as easy as copying each hit of whatever drum and pasting them onto a new track. As for MIDI, there should be an option in GP to export as MIDI file.
