I think that's what I did, there is a red spot on the selected track, and then I followed the above description, but is there  a place where I should change a setting.

Instead of drag and drop, try prepping the track, you should see a red indicator showing trak is ready to record, then when you find a drum sound you like, double click on it and see if the track starts recording your selection

A double click activate the selected sound, but there will not be recorded, a further double-click turn off the sound.

Do you "see" the sound on a VU meter ?...little bars moving up and down with the volume of the music, or do you just hear it ?  If the bars are moving up and down, then you are "recording" the music somewhere...if its not on a track you have conditioned properly, then I wuld have to say the track is not conditioned properly.  If you can't "see' the sound at all, then this is your first problem....you have to see it and hear it.  This is Midi stuff you ae working with. 

You're right I can see the VU meter, but have not recorded anything I've also tried the built VSTi without success. I can not find a description of how I put the track up to record VSTi, audio signals goes nicely into the track.
