I'm assuming your not playing to a click so these will be non time dependent samples, your drummer just needs to hit them and stop them at the right moments the same as a keyboard player will hit a key at the right moment.
If you do want a sequence triggered then I can do that but your drummer would then have to play to a click track to be in time with the triggered sequence
This one first www.thesuperheroesonline.co.uk/Valerie-brasss-c.wav
Then http://www.thesuperheroesonline.co.uk/Valeria-Bb.wav
Then repeat 3 times and then this last one
www.thesuperheroesonline.co.uk/Valerie-brass-D.wav
Then for the chorus you play the brass part on guitar as that is time dependent and trigger these string parts underneath which aren't
http://www.thesuperheroesonline.co.uk/Valerie-Ebmaj7-String.wav is the first chord
Then this one
www.thesuperheroesonline.co.uk/Valerie-Fm7-strings.wav
Now Pricetag is just the same 4 chords which are

www.thesuperheroesonline.co.uk/Pricetag-Am.wav
www.thesuperheroesonline.co.uk/Pricetag-Dm.wav
www.thesuperheroesonline.co.uk/Pricetag-Bb.wav
All the drummers got to do is hit the pad at the end of every 2 bars
Here's a Halo I use behind the verse and chorus of Use Somebody ... it's subtle but adds something
www.thesuperheroesonline.co.uk/use-halo.wav
And for the middle eight, the " I'm ready now" part I trigger these 2 notes
The A note www.thesuperheroesonline.co.uk/Use-Somebody-Mid%208-A%20.wav
And F# note http://www.thesuperheroesonline.co.uk/Use-Somebody-mid8.wav
To thicken up Locked out of heavens pre chorus and chorus I trigger a fat synth
Big F
www.thesuperheroesonline.co.uk/Locked-out-F.wav

These are all simple and subtle parts designed to thicken up a one guitar band without it being too obvious ... obviously if the drummer is happy on a click then he can trigger all kinds of parts that are time dependent
A tip for using the SPD is to set all pads to the same mute group ... that way hitting one pad cancels out the previous one.
Set the last pad to nothing and that is the stop pad to end any sample playing if the wrong pad is hit at the wrong time
As it happens one of our previous drummers gave me his old sample trigger pad (Alesis) however the idea was met with a bit of resistance from our current drummer, I might have "sold" it wrong, (and I wasn't gonna push it cos he's a top bloke and it's his call).
I've possibly asked you this before @Danny1969 but how are you triggering the samples if you're playing guitar?
I use my feet mate .... Here's my mission control position for one band where I'm the only guitarist (and sound man)
Here's an example showing me mucking about with the pad .... you wouldn't go to this extreme live though
Nothing against drummers but I think it's better if someone who knows the notes \ chords etc triggers things because you then know what works and what little cheats you can do ....... for example if there's a change of chord from a major to relative minor or visa versa you can record in 2 notes and the bass changing the root along with the ample fools the mind into thinking the sample has changed. Or you get a request for Human \ Rag & Bone man ... gonna do it in Bm ... you haven't done any samples for it yet but you know there's a Bm and G (don't need an EM ... use the relative minor trick ) in the patch you made for Streets have no name .... stuff like that your average drummer isn't gonna know
Here's another example in actual live use .... excuse my shitty guitar playing I was pretty much bluffing this number
Very nice clips btw. And as it happens I really liked that Vandross performance -- nailed the guitar sound really well.
