Creating submixes and using the Bus and Send features...

Question

I'm unfamiliar with creating a submix.
I know that I want to create 2 groups of vocals ( 6 tracks left and 6 tracks right, stereo image) to simulate a choir. I also know that I want to create a submix of 10 tracks of drums down to 2 tracks stereo.
Where can I find a good resource of information to learn and accomplish this. So far, my experimenting hasn't worked for me. I'll keep trying...but, I couldn't find anything in the Logic Express Tutorial either. I've checked into the Mac Pro Video series and couldn't find any detailed instruction there either. Maybe I was looking in the wrong volumes?
Well, I imagine it's not too difficult and I'm probably missing a simple little step...but any help will be greatly appreciated... -- Andy

+1) I went through each drum track (Inside Kick, Outside Kick, Top Snare, Bottom Snare, Hi-Hat,+
+Overhead Left, Overhead Right, Tom 1, etc.) and clicked "BUS 3" for each of them from the+
+"SEND", then I...+
No. Sends are irrelevant here. The output should be set to Bus 3 on all your individual drum tracks.
+3) A new track called "Output 3&4". That is what I believe will be my destination track (the stereo+
+drum mix).+
No again. The destination is Bus 3. You need a bus object 3 to be in either your mixer and/or arrange page. That's what will capture your individual drum outputs. And Bus object 3 output should be set to Output 1-2
Sooooo... the ONLY drum-related track with an output of 1-2 should be the bus 3 itself.
+And can I create a track "Output 3&4" for the drums?+
Why do you want to? Presumably the rest of your song is going to Out 1-2, so you want the drums to also go to your mix bus, which is 1-2
Hope this helps.
