writing percussion notes

[Sarah k Alawami]

Ok. I'v never seen percussion music so I don't even know how to looks. I have 
to in this final assignment write for 3 timponies, 1 player playing them, a 
bass drum and symbol, one player playing them and a snare.

I know there are to be 3 percussion lines, but in the case of the timpani's how 
do I indicate which ones they need, or should I? and in the case of the non 
pitched instruments how do I indicate those notes, or rhythms that is? Sorry if 
I'm not making sense. I'm not a band nerd. lol! should I do new staff groups? 
or is it all 3 lines on 1 staff? if so yuck!

Take care. and thanks all.
