If you can record each drum on a separate track I'd do that.

What do you mean like snare, kick all separate tracks?

Yep. Does it have multiple outputs that you can assign each drum to? That is what I suggest. Otherwise you will have to sync it up to your host sequencer and do each drum on a separate pass.

looks like a good one. you could probably get a nice little mix with it with a few trial runs, then I'd just run a stereo out from it and record it so you can mix the whole stereo drum track as one. I used to do that with a roland 550 and it worked well. I did songs like that for years actually. typically, the cymbals on such units just need to come way down in the mix.
to do a song, you should find a manual if you don't have one to learn how to build songs from patterns, if you haven't already.
making patterns on these types of units is tedious, but it really helps understand how drums are laid out hit by hit by hit by hit....zzzzzzzz. Sorry, dozed off there.
