That's when a VST sampler comes in handy...Halion, Sampletank, Mach 5 
and the Native Instruments one, oh there's just loads, even free.  I 
don't think you can 'trigger' a sample by midi any other way.  Hit F11 
to bring up the Instrument Panel, load the VST sampler in there, and 
then you load the samples into it, mappin them to keys in the sampler.  
Then you create a MIDI track, point the output of it to the sampler, 
create a midi part and draw/record your drum patterns in there.  To add 
VST effects you're adding them to the sampler's output channel(s).  
Halion's good because from version 3 you can specify how many stereo and 
mono channels it has (and you can have LOADS).
