Good job on thatone! I didn't realize hydrogen could send midi, now if
it can send CC messages too somehow(for the hihat), you'll be able to
have all functionality of the kit! that would be pretty golden..
Hello LAUsers
You may be in a similar position to me, where for some time you've
been hacking away at Hydrogen for your drumming needs, but then along
comes the excellent Salamander Drumkit by Rytmenpinne in all it's .SFZ
glory[1]. There are some great Hydrogen kits available like the two
GSCW's[2] and Big Mono[2], but when I first heard Rytmenpinne's
Salamander examples I had to have a go.
I use Ardour3 for all the heavy lifting for my recording, but
switching to it from Hydrogen for hand-programming MIDI drum patterns
has been for me, a little clunky. So just yesterday I set to the task
of getting Hydrogen to talk direct to Linuxsampler (via
Jsampler/Fantasia) in order to get the Salamander kit singing. I
didn't actually know how to do it, but the qjackctl showed me a
jack-midi hydrogen-out connection so I realised the capability was in
there somewhere.
The results are available here:

file
http://www.box.com/s/6a9073928d1853952b13 - The .h2drumkit file
http://www.box.com/s/d6731d2515d335f149af - The .h2song file
http://www.box.com/s/e273e7fc8646c7ca3c9d - And an .ogg example
http://soundcloud.com/stuzz/hydrogen-salamander - The same .ogg
example
For the .lscp file I only used Salamander's "All.sfz" file, and I
*think* the only tweak you'll need to get it to work is your location
of that file. Although, even though the JACK connections are
specified in that file aswell, they don't seem to auto-connect, so
you'll need to do that too.
I haven't investigated completely, but the 2 .h2 files are there
because 1) The .h2drumkit contains the 30 instruments in the kit, and
what I named them, and 2) I'm pretty sure the MIDI-out note for each
instrument is stored in the .h2song file, and not the .h2drumkit :(
With any luck I'm not Pat Malone in my drum recording workflow, and
this will help others.
Good luck!
