but when I call them up , the open hi hat position is default
In what situations do you need to have the hi-hat opened? For clicking on the kit for preview? For recording?
As John said, this can’t be saved, because when you play MIDI files, or by playing e-drums or a keyboard, the incoming MIDI notes will tell the kit what openness to play.

Right click any drum in the interface to see the properties. On the lower right corner there’s a Details button, which reveals the MIDI notes used for the selected instrument. It also contains a MIDI in display, which shows the last MIDI note that was received by EZdrummer 2.

Create a custom map in SD3, that makes your pad play the wanted drums
Record MIDI to either Logic or SD3
If you record the MIDI to Logic, the MIDI won’t be affected
It will be mapped when going into SD3
If you record to SD3, the MIDI will be transformed by the mapping
When you drag the MIDI out from SD3, the MIDI won’t be “de-transformed”, e.g. you should disable the incoming MIDI mapping in this scenario
You can also change the internal MIDI mapping of SD3, which will make the core MIDI play the wrong instruments, but your pad will always play the correct instruments. Doing this isn’t as simple as using the MIDI In Mapping page, since that is designed to be able to be preserved even when changing Drums and Mixer Preset (sound preset), or Library

Is it possible for a 3rd party sample in SD3 to somehow be included in the ambient and OH mics along with the rest of the (native) SD3 kit?
A drum that has been recorded using with several microphones will have a depth in the sound. since it has some natural decay, another room sound, different attack, etc. It’s not the same as multiplying one audio source!
If your sampled drum only has one audio file, then there’s no need to put it into the ambience mics, as well as in a main (close) microphone. Having the same audio being layered often leads to problems, such as phase issues, etc. Further, it doesn’t add anything to the mix.

And then, I assume, once a clip’s part designation is changed, say from “Verse” to “Bridge”, then I would expect the Song Creator to treat it accordingly. Right?
Yes, if you for example drag a groove to the song track, change it’s Song Part to Intro, then drag it to to your User MIDI folder – it will be treated as an Intro when you use it with Song Creator.

There seems to be implications that I can drag & drop from SD3 and keep my user MIDI In mapping. I’d really appreciate if someone could tell me how.
Thanks!
Can you explain what you want to accomplish here? I think it’s easier for me (or anyone else) to answer if it’s possible to achieve what you want to, instead of me trying to explain how the entire handling of MIDI is done in SD3 🙂
For example, write something like:
Drag in a MIDI file, where the kick is on note 38
Change something so that imported MIDI file plays back correctly
Drag the MIDI file to Logic
Will the MIDI file play the the kick correctly?
