The way I'd do it is to explicitly write the voices you wanted in each
part. If you want them all to be stemDown and on one stem, try voiceTwo
for them all:
bassDrum = \relative {
\voiceTwo
s1 |
s2 b2-> |
s1 |
s2 b2-> |
}
cymbals = \relative {
\voiceTwo
\override NoteHead.style = #'xcircle \stemDown
s1 |
s2 f'2 |
s1 |
s2 f2 |
}
tamTam = \relative {
\voiceTwo
\override NoteHead.style = #'cross \stemDown
s1 |
s2 e2 |
s1 |
s2 e2 |
}
