Just to add to what Alex wrote, when using STD0.VAB, drums have to be assigned
to GM prog# 127, or the PSX won't play them properly.

Any midi files downloaded from the Net that contain drum tracks *have* to have
their drum tracks reassigned to GM #127. You'll need a midi sequencer to do
this.

Unmodified midi -> seq files with drum tracks tend to sound like a drunken brass
band. Try it and you'll see what I mean!
