Danger of mixing up MIDI and audio signals here. If you want to use your MIDI keyboard to control a VSTi inside Reaper (e.g. MT-PowerDrumKit), you want to send MIDI from your keyboard and that is the signal you want to see in Reaper. If you have the track record armed and have set input monitoring on, you should see a red dot/jumping bar on the right edge of the meter whenever you press the keys of your MIDI keyboard. That will tell you that you have a working MIDI input on that track.
MT-PowerDrumKit accepts MIDI in any channel, but like domzy said, drums are often on channel 10. Other thing to notice is that the drum sounds in MT-PowerDrumKit might be mapped to (other) lower keys than you have tried to play. By default e.g. kick drum is on note 36, which might be C1 or C2 on your keyboard.
