Golden Rule (not to be broken): ** Do not enter notes on the percussion staff while you have a map applied. **
They most likely won't sound correctly, or maybe not sound at all. This is why you're not hearing anything on D1, which should be a High Tom. Always enter the notes as I described, in Standard notation style, and remember what I said about the "black" notes. The notes are jumping way below the staff because you haven't configured the map properly. The maps are not pre-configured. Once you've entered all the notes on the staff in standard style, make a list of all the different MIDI note numbers you've used, and only then can you go on to edit your map. In the map edit window, click on each note number you've used in the list to highlight it and then check the Highlighted Note box, which places an asterisk against it. You can give it a name if you wish, then drag the handle up or down to the required position on the staff and choose the closed and open notehead shapes you want for it. Do this routine for every MIDI note number you've used. When you exit the edit window and choose Select, the notes will jump to the positions and shapes you've set and the playback will still be correct. You can always add different sounds later if you want, but *always do it in Standard style* and then edit the map again. Good luck!
