How come when I drop a Groove in Cubase the Hat sound is changed to Ride sound?

[metrosuperstar]

Hi, I’m dragging/dropping a midi groove from SD3 into an instrument track in Cubase. The MIDI plays back fine and it sounds almost just like the preview INSIDE SD3 – however, on playback of the instrument track, I notice that the sound of the hats in the preview is being played as a ride in Cubase!!

What could be causing this? Did I do something wrong in setting up my first drum track for SD3?

Superior Drummer 3 version: 3.1.7
Operating system: Windows 10

I’m not a frequent or proficient Cubase user but I’d guess that the MIDI Mapping in your Cubase needs a slight adjustment.

I searched the FAQ & forum.  Found the following:

Thanks for the link to the SD3 maps for Cubase…

Does this mean that whenever one loads a kit from a different “pack” in SD3, we have to ALSO load a different drum map in order for it to sound right?

Whats the “rule” for when to load or swap out a certain drum map?
