Erm when trying to mute say the high hats amongst the other drums in the sequencertrack , the mute tool only mutes one note at a time I've got it to mute the entire or part of the lane before but I seem to have forgotten how. Help appreciated .

You can select notes that are the same from the context menu.

I personally like to explode my drums on different midi tracks so I can use the track mute.

In the sequencer, just select a note and right click and use "Select notes of same pitch" (or move/duplicate).

Or "Explode" to send all the notes on different lanes on their own lane. It's in the Tool window (F8) -> Extract Notes to Lane

Dude just select the mute tool and drag out a rectangle or box around the notes you want to mute, kind of like a lasoo tool.

My bad I don't really use this tool, and as of Reason 10 you still can not mute individual notes only clips - I am not sure about Reason 11 though!

Using the cursor tool you can lasoo notes, then just hit the delete key.

That's a pretty big feature I'd estimate we might see it in 30 - 35 years.

My bad, apparently Explode is used to: "move or duplicate notes of the same note numbers to new clips on separate note lanes."
Maybe I was thinking Extract to lanes, or something.

Anyways, this (Reason manual) is ALWAYS a good reading (I always pick up something I've forgetten just by browsing the manual):
