Anybody have a whiz-bang easy way to get the MIDI tracks from these converted to GM?

Ditto.
Open an EZD MDI file in PRV, and open the AD Help file that shows the kit-piece mapping.
Change the MIDI Out channels in the PRV to match what AD wants for the input.
Then save as "EZD-to-AD."
 
Ive done this for Superior Drummer and AD, it's really helpful when you want to use both MIDI files in one host/kit and only takes 5-10 minutes.

Just drag a pattern out of AD2 to a new MIDI track and assign it to channel 10 in TTS-1?

I didnt think AD uses GM mapping.  If it doesn't, the MIDI notes will trigger the wrong drums.

I tried that and it sounds like the AD drum patterns line up with the GM kick, snare, & tom, but not the cymbals, etc.
 
Needs some kind of remapping ...
 
This looks like it may do the conversion, but haven't tried it out yet.

midifilemapper looks promising.
 
I'm actually wanting files.  I want to load them in a keyboard/workstation.  I guess the easiest way is to open PRV and drag notes to the correct values, then drag the clip out to create a file

MIDI File Mapper is a file converter that remaps the drum kit between the input and output file, according to the rules that you give it.  MIDI File Mapper ships with some built-in mappings for popular drum samplers and allows you to create your own.

Select Input Files

If you chose to specify files to convert yourself, then in this dialog you can select those files, either by dragging them in from Windows explorer or by clicking Browse and using the standard Windows file selector dialog.

Select Mapping Rules

In this step, you must select a mapping rules file. This is either one of the XML rules files provided with MIDI File Mapper, or one you created yourself. Additionally, MIDI File Mapper can use Cakewalk or Cubase drum maps. (Remember though that not all Cakewalk and Cubase drum maps actually perform any mapping of note numbers. In many cases, they simply provide names for each note). If MIDI File Mapper does not show your chosen mapping in the list, you can browse for it yourself.

Select Output File Details

In this step, you must specify an empty folder for your converted files to be placed in. If it does not exist, MIDI File Mapper will offer to create it for you. You can also choose whether to force all MIDI files to a specific MIDI file type, or leave them unchanged at this stage.

Convert Files

Once you are happy with the options you selected, click Begin. MIDI File Mapper will give you detailed information about what files it is converting, and will display any errors encountered in red text.

I downloaded midifilemapper, but it doesn't do anything.  It has a .application extension.  Manifest?

It looks like these custom XML rules files are fairly straightforward to set up, if needed.
 
Using the InChannel, InNote, OutNote translation you can easily transpose any note on any channel to where you want it.
 
For example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<MidiMappingRules>
<General
Name="Transpose 2 Semitones"
Author="Mark Heath"
Description="Test file"
/>

<NoteMap Name="Transpose All Notes" InChannel="1-9,11-16" InNote="*" OutNote="+2" />
<NoteMap Name="Don't Transpose Drums" InChannel="10" InNote="*" OutNote="*" />
</MidiMappingRules>

 
So you only have to set it up once, rather than editing every MIDI file.  Then it does all the work for you
