Drum Track

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: How to properly play drum tracks on the SPU?

The drum tracks for all of the music tracks don't play properly. However, the drum track data is not broken. It's likely the sound driver has problems managing the maximum amount of notes that can be played at one time. When converting these tracks to MIDI using a tool, you can hear these drum tracks.
