As a player, my preference would be to see single repeat marks in bars instead of rests (staff style O). In addition to Jef¹s suggestion, another option is to create a multi measure rest. Then select the measure and apply the staff style to it. I created expressions for 6X (for an 8-bar phrase, one example bar and a closing bar with indicated fill) and 7X (for an 8-bar phrase, no closing fill) which I place over the measures I grouped in the rest. While this adds steps to creating the rest, the repeats are expected elements in a drum part, while rests that a drummer is supposed to play through, are not. In agreement with Jef¹s suggestion (which I also use), having the bars written out across the system allows the drummer to easily put their own marks/cues/etc. into the music.
