It's in Clef Chooser in the Clef menu. It's a bug that "drum" as a
search term doesn't find it. I'm not sure how it relates to channel
10(coded 9) in GM, nor to the commands about setting tables of drum
sounds that Nils created.

I just tested this out. I added a drum clef from the Clef Chooser. I looked in the staff propertis and it did give me midi channel 10. Demo produced drum sounds when I entered notes. In playback view though it produced piano sounds. In the lilypond I see no DrumStaff Context. I see Nils created a denemo file that labels each instrument in the drum map. There is like 2-4 notes for every percussion instrument. I seems to be for reference. 

Here is the documentation for the drumstaff context:
