Search the hydrogen forums for a perl script called "midi2hydrogen.pl"
Unfortunately because hydrogen only does 64 ticks in 4/4 time, you'll end up with bars of 16/8 and other strangeness; the resulting file will play just fine. You just have to take a moment to get your head around the weird way that stuff is represented on screen.

Just drag and drop the instruments around to your liking. But do this *before* you import/record material, as you can't move events from track to track (tracks are bound to each instrument). Alternatively, import the material and then select your GM drumkit layout.

Note that I'm talking latest CVS (or 0.4.3 beta).
