Since I don't want to use certain effects (reverb, delay, ...) on each single track but instead use send-channels, why have they been left out? Other than that, the DrumRack would've been perfect (for my needs .

In Drum Rack chain selector (at the bottom), click green button on the left to show return channels. This brings up a separate return chain box under the main one. Drop effects in here to make a new chains. The sends are now shown inside the drum mixer. These send effects are internal to the drum rack. However, the return chains can also be left empty and routed into the main mixer return channels.

Have fun.

Wow! That's even better. These returns are post volume and pre pan. Nice!
I think I should read the manual. Thanks!

Another great feature is you can select several chains, right click and group them. This way, for example you can easily take all your snares and apply eq to them at once. Damn, I love those drum racks.

Can't blame you for not reading the manual striaght away, when you just want to get stuck in. Don't give up so easily in future, though.

Wish there was a way to group audio and or midi channels as well it would make it easier for during mixdown

Create a new audio channel and assign the out from your various audio/midi channels to be mixed down to this new channel.
