Yes. Using scheme and postscript, you can generate
your own stencil and substitute your stencil in 
place of the default notehead (see the attached file).

\override NoteHead #'stencil = #circSlashStil

Although to be honest, I don't know how to make this
work in drummode, which (obviously) is a requirement.

After glancing at the docs (NR 2.5.1)...
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Common-notation-for-percussion#Custom-percussion-staves
... it looks likeDrumStaff.drumStyleTable expects
glyph-names, and I don't know how to make a glyph-
name for my stencil.

Does anyone know? I think I've done the hardest part,
coding the stencil, and the last step ought to be
trivial. I just can't figure it out.
