There’ve been multiple forum threads asking (and answering) this question.
Also, at least one FAQ regarding the percussion. https://www.toontrack.com/faq/how-do-i-trigger-the-ezdrummer-2-percussion/

In Logic Pro X (or any other DAW host), the Piano Roll Editor, the Score Editor or the Musical Typing window would reveal the following:
Db-2 is the “One Shots” (handclaps, etc)
D-2 is the Shaker(s)
Eb-2 is the Tamborine

I can’t speak to the demo as I upgraded from EZDrummer1 to EZDrummer2 as soon as it was available on May 6th,
but, that said, it looks like the EZDrummer2-included library, Modern/Vintage kit comes with almost 1,000 grooves:
720 grooves for the kit and 254 grooves for the percussion (handclaps, tamborine, shaker).

This is what I discovered going through my libraries:
Of the EZX expansion kit libraries, the Nashville, MetalHeads, “The Classic”, Americana, Metal Machine, Rock Solid,
Indie Folk, Rock!, and Metal! sound libraries include MIDI that is broken down into intro/verse/pre-chorus/chorus/bridge/fills/endings specifically.

Of the MIDI add-on packs, the Songwriter’s Packs 1-4, Rock Songs, Backbeats, Ballads, Basic Rock, and Session Drums
are broken down into intro/verse/pre-chorus/chorus/bridge/fills/endings.

FYI: The SuperiorDrummer SDX expansion libraries that include MIDI that is broken down
into intro/verse/pre-chorus/chorus/bridge/fills/endings are:
NY Volume #3, Music City, and The Rock Warehouse.
Some of their included MIDI grooves are available as standalone MIDI add-on packs.

I downloaded the DP8.06 demo to give it a whirl.
It appears that DP8 only allows Drag&Drop to a MIDI track, not to an Instrument Track.
I also experienced what you’re saying about Drag&Drop adding data to the Conductor Track.
It did the same for me. Additionally, when I attempted to Drag&Drop a MIDI clip into the Track area (creating a new track),
DP questioned whether I wanted to merge the Conductor data or not.

NOTE: I found that I could Copy&Paste MIDI clips from the EZDrummer2 GrooveBrowser into a MIDI track in DP without it adding data to the Conductor Track.

PS. If you absolutely feel that you need to (at least ’til your DP issues are resolved),
you should be able to uninstall EZDrummer2 and reinstall EZDrummer1 from your Toontrack account.

Hopefully you supplied Support with a few more details; like at a minimum your OS & RAM.
I know that you have said that you prefer to Drag&Drop directly from the Browser
but (as a workaround and as a means of diagnosis) CAN you drag MIDI clips from the Song Track into DP?
Can you Drag&Drop from EZDrummer2 to your Desktop and THEN from the Desktop into DP as a workaround?
