GM drum-map confusion

Hi!
I never worked with GM-drumsets but today I tried to import a drumtrack I got from a friend when strange problems occured.
According to the midi-specs I found, the basedrum is C1. When I load a "GM-Mapped" drumkit into NI Battery (from wired - elements of trance for example) the basedrum is mapped to C2 and when I drag my drumtrack into sonar and select GM Drums as naming-scheme in the pianoroll the basedrum is C3. Any idea about that? |

what I do is that i transpose the whole track untill it plays ok...
you atleast have to have a general idea that kick goes four on the floor for example...but it's the best method...sometimes you'll have to play around with it more...but transpose and see... |

| Nothing wrong with drumsets here, just different sequencers have different naming of keys. Taken as example, Reason starts with C -2, FL with C 0 (which is C -1 in Reason if I'm correct). Now, the 'middle C' in Reason is C 4, in FL it's C 5, but they all have the same MIDI key number. |

I think middle C in Reason is C3...but your explanation is pretty correct as far as I tried now :)
I never knew why it does work when I play with octave transposing heheh :) |
