The instrument id is a string... so don't pay much attention 
to the number.

The first instrument you add gets mapped to 36.
The next is 37.
The next is 38.
etc...

Instruments are added in document order (the XML file).

Yeah, it's not the greatest system... but that's what we've 
inherited.  :-)

A good point of reference would be to compare the 
GMkit/drumkit.xml to the General Midi spec for drum note 
mappings:  http://www.midi.org/techspecs/gm1sound.php

I don't think so.  I don't see any limits in the code.... 
and if there are, I'm sure they're arbitrary, compile-time 
software limits that are simple to change.
