Hello.

> Any examples would be much appreciated.

Here is some of what you can put in a ".ly" file in order
to produce a drum staff.

%--BEGIN-----
\include "drumpitch-init.ly"

#(define mydrums '(
   (hihat       cross   #f         4)
   (snare       ()      #f         1)
   (bassdrum    ()      #f         -5)
   (lowtom      ()      #f         -1)
   (himidtom    ()       #f        2)
   (ridecymbal  cross   #f         5)
   (crashcymbal cross   #f         6)))

\score {
    \new DrumStaff {

      \set DrumStaff.drumStyleTable = #(alist->hash-table mydrums)

      <<
          \new DrumVoice { \voiceOne \drums { hh8 hh hh hh hh hh hh cymc | } }
          \new DrumVoice { \voiceTwo \drums { bd8 bd <bd sn> bd bd bd <bd sn> 
bd | } }
      >>

      \bar "||"
    }

    \midi {}
    \paper {}
}
%--END-----


Best regards,
