Default How do I tell it to only select the drum track?

I've got a drum track made up of many individual MIDI items and I want to glue all those little MIDI items together so I will have only one large MIDI item. Problem is when I hit Ctrl+A Reaper not only selects all the drum MIDI items but it looks like it also selects the guitar tracks underneath it.

Is there a way to quickly just select all the drum items so I can quickly glue?

I know I can manually select each and every item with the trackball but it will be slow going.

Double click on a blank part of the track header in the control pannel and that will select everything on the track.

Not sure what is called the track header. I double-clicked on a blank area right before where the drums actually begin but that does not do it. It appears to select everything but when I tried moving the entire drum track up only the very first MIDI item went up. The rest of the MIDI items remain behind.

The Track Header is the area to the left of the track and clips, where the track number, fader, track buttons such as Solo, Fx are.

Double-click, say, the track number and you should select all the clips on that track. With some Preferences, clicking can change the volume fader which is why I suggested clicking on the track unmber.

Sorry Mag, I should have been more specific, I'm glad you got it.
