You could use the ‘Power Hand’ feature to assign a second snare (such as a rimshot) to an unused drum or cymbal. I haven’t tried this myself yet, but take a look at the Toontrack video entitled ‘Talk To Your Drummer’, which can be found at…
I had the same problem and discovered that when you load an existing Sonar project after upating to EZD2, all previous VSTi outputs are reassigned to EZD2. To put things rights, simply open each VST output channel and reassign the instrument to its original soft synth, then re save your project.
