It couldn't hurt to elaborate on what you mean by drum software, but it still may get no results...

I found a freeware app that did many of the things you want, but there's no source that I could see.
Did you run across http://www.harmony-central.com/MIDI/dev.html in your travels? Some of the kits seem outdated but you can probably find some good stuff still, esp if you are running Linux.

Thanks for telling me.
But aren't there a bunch of lines of code that do the job?

Like I said, it's really outside my purview. With "a bunch of lines of code" you could send a man into space but you need some type of API from which to springboard as there is nothing in the standard library for this. The Win32API has some methods which people have put wrappers around http://www.codeproject.com/KB/audio-video/midiwrapper.aspx. Again, I can only guess. You have to weigh your own ability level with your goals for the project and decide how much to learn.
