Connecting Simmons SD7K Drums to Garageband

I am trying to set up my Simmons SD7K to record some ideas into garageband because I don't have a way of recording any other way at home. I tried to connect it via USB input, and although my computer recognizes it, for some reason Garageband isn't detecting it. If anyone has any ideas on what I could be doing wrong or any advice on how I could set my drums up to record another way, please help me out.
 
SD7K transmits on MIDI channel 10 only, and I believe GB only recieves on channel 1. I am sure about the SD7K but not so much about Garageband. Perhaps there is a MIDI mapper solution for the Apple that will allow you to reassign the channel 10 data to channel 1 or perhaps a GB hack exists to allow reception on any channel.

You will run into another problem connecting the SD7K to any DAW but the solution is here:
