I know Ben has it somewhere on his 'to-do' list, but I too had always thought of DB as a quick drum programming tool. Even, so with panning and volume for individual instruments, plus the variants available, that's a huge amount of control for a 'quick demo' app! Listen to Mike's songs and David's test piece to confirm that.
The main use for export of individual instruments, as I see it, is for separate FX: for example, adding extra punch to the kick, without adding boom to the snare. Again, we are not in 'quick demo' country.
If I want to do that level of processing, I am quite happy to do a workround. Mine is to write the whole drum part, create as many new Songs as there are Instrument groups that I foresee processing separately, Copy and Paste the whole Song to each, then Delete appropriately, ending up with a Kick Song, a Snare Song, a Cymbal Song, a Hat Song, etc. and export the separate Audio files to my DAW. It's only the Copying and Deleting that are extra. (End of teaching to suck eggs time.)

10-4.
I use DB for quick demos, and it's great for that, so I guess I was splitting hairs in any case.

We've discussed this a few times. I have exported individual sounds in the past, but this requires a cumbersome workaround. Quite frankly, I'd rather put the time into the performance or arrangement aspect of the song.
My philosophy is that the drums as one cohesive unit are a bit closer to a carefully mic'd live performance recorded in the good old days before 24 track studios were everywhere. I'm aware I'm only justifying a shortcut, but this works for me.
What David had been asking about was the export and treatment of individual sounds from his kit, followed by the re-import into my version of his kit. That's what I took him to mean, at least.

I think it would be incredibly useful to export instruments (drums, cymbals, etc.) as individual files. I almost always apply some type of processing (eq, compression, etc.) to the files when I import them into ProTools. It would be super hot to apply different parameters of processing to the instruments as if they were recorded live as separate tracks.
Sorry if this has been mentioned before. Sometimes I only quickly glance at the list.
