Which Simmons kit?

You mentioned USB, so I'm gonna hazard a guess it doesn't look like this...

And thinking it looks more like this...

There's likely to be 3 ways these can be matched so the right note is being played by each drum. Each drum outputs a MIDI note that corresponds with a note along a piano keyboard. It'll be a matter of:
1) changing the note value for each pad inside the Simmons drum module/brain,
2) or changing the note value attached to each sample in the software program,
3) or changing the sample attached to each note.

Firstly, are there e-drum templates within EZdrummer? Like 'V-Drums' or 'Yamaha' or 'Simmons' already configured and ready to load up?

If not, I'd be looking for the option to change the note value attached to each sample in EZdrummer (and being sure it'll save as a user-template for future use). Some drum modules can't alter the MIDI note values for each pad (I don't know the new Simmons modules), so it makes sense that the software must be able to.

Not a direct answer, hope it was of some use. :)
