There are probably a multitude of ways of doing it:

If by electronic drums you mean either a drummachine
like the Korg DDD1
(hopefully you have a more modern piece of equipment )
or a Clavia synt drumset with pads and soundmodule.

There you can assign different pads and sounds to individual outputs.
Route the signals from these outs to:

1) External mixerboard of some kind -
from there into your tape deck -
Dat recorder or whatever you have.

2) Directly into your audio-interface connected to
your your computer running your DAW.

( my MOTU 828 firewire interface can accept )
(8 guitar-type cables from such a soundsource and )
(record simultaneously into DigitalPerformer-4.5)

This is just two ways of going about it -
not neccessarily the best ways.
Very much depends on what you've got.

or just use software. it's much easier, to use and carry to gigs. with ableton live you can route anything anywhere.

Check out this plug-in... the sounds are amazing and it exports each trigger to its own audio file.
