percussion staff rest positions?

[corallina]

I have been using the  c4\rest   method when I need to position a rest on
at a particular location

when I tried it  on the percussion staff it gives an error.  I tried
something like this   bd4\rest.
Also I should mention that I am using a custom percussion stave so I
would like all rests to line up with the notes of the percussion instrument
if possible!
