Before importing, you'd need to edit the GM.AD2Map file in the External MIDI Folder.

I create a new drum map template that defaults to Logic's GM mapping, which is what Logic Drummer uses.
The name of the script is RedirectLogicDrummerToAny and looks like the following:

To use this script, load your 3rd party drum kit and make an alias from Logic Drummer to the 3rd party drum track.
Load this script on the 3rd party drum track, NOT on the Logic Drummer track.

To drive other 3rd party drummers, just map the Logic Drummer drum piece to the 3rd party drum piece.

As an example, I used RedirectLogicDrummerToAny as a template and created the following Drum Maps
RedirectLogicDrummerToAD2 - for Addictive Drums 2
RedirectLogicDrummerToEZD2 - for EZ Drummer 2
RedirectLogicDrummerToSD3 - for Superior Drummer 3

Thanks for this - I have a question though:

I downloaded the Script and inserted it on the aliased track
The aliased track is set to NI Butch Vig Drums

However, whether I have the Script on or off in the MIDI FX makes no difference to the drums being played

When Drummer sends a Side Stick, the snare at C#1 in Butch Vig drums will get played, not the RimShot at A1. You would need to update the script for Side Stick to A1, not C#1.

I would look at the MIDI Pad names on Butch Vig drums and match the corresponding Logic Drummer name, then I would change the number on the script to match Butch Vig drums Midi number.

Oh wow, ok - each Butch Vig kit is different so, would I, ultimately, have to design different scripts for each separate kit?

If Butch Vig didn't reuse for example, C1 as kick, C#1 as snare, etc... across all their kits, that's a poor design.
But to answer your question, yes you'd have to create a new script for each kit.
I would take a look at the kits again, I'm pretty sure they have C1 for kick, C#1 for snare, etc... for all their kits.

Kick is always C1
Sanne is always C#1

However, certain kits have claps, FX, even one labeled "Misc." that differ from kit to kit

You already have a Clap in Drummer, but for FX or Misc, I would consider using Tamborine or Maracas from Drummer to drive those 2 from Butch Vig.

You know, you can even just have Ride1, Ride2, RideBell, etc... drive other drum pieces from Butch Vig.
I think keep the kick, snare, hi-hat and toms the same, but experiment with the others.
The script I have allows you to experiment pretty easily.

The note names I put in the script are the note names from Butch Vig Drums, right?

Yes
