Impulse is controlled by the notes C3..C4, all white keys.

If you feel that you need to use other keys, then you can use Scale and /or Pitch plugins in front of the Impulse to change the notes it is being sent.

for drum rolls you could
1.assign the same sound to different impulse slots.
2.build racks with multiple impulses using the same kit and pitch effect(Live 6)
--check out the racks stickey-->http://www.ableton.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=54296 --- the MPC Killer rack
or
