Stuff like this is one of the reasons Jack (the sound server) was intended for :-) In Ardour set yor sync to "Jack" in the symbol bar and klick the "Time Master" knob. Then Hydrogen will automagically pick up the tempo you have set in Ardour and start synchronically. Make sure, that Hydrogen is in "Song" mode. Otherwise it will only playback the currently selected pattern over and over again. You can also start/stop with the hydrogen knobs, then Ardour will start synchronically. BTW: Most of the other applications can use Jack for synchronizing time. I often use Muse to play Midifiles, Hydrogen for Drums and Ardour for my audio recordings and everthing is perfectly in time. What I like most about this setup is, that you can route all your instruments (yes, every single Drumsound from Hydrogen) through Busses(!!!!! not Tracks!!!!!) in Ardour and use the effects and mixer section of Ardour for the complete mix.
