Free Program For Playing MIDI Drums?

[Icemanaroonie]

I've got a CD with MIDI drum tracks, but playing them in windows media player results in an organ tone, since, you know, MIDI. Is there a good free program for playing them as drums? The drum tracks are from Alex Webster's Extreme Metal Bass, if that helps.

Any DAW with a sample library would get this done.

And when you get a MIDI player, make sure the MIDI channel is on Channel 10 (the default for General Midi Drums).
Might ge on another channel but start there.
