I'm often wanting to do something like this also.  I often want to send
each drum out my interface to a physical mixer, to process each drum
separately in different channels on the mixer, and then bring them back
to re-record on new tracks.

Nightly builds (and thus the next release) of Ardour will let you do all this.
