Check out a piece which I posted on the Scriptorium called "Black Bear." at http://nwc-scriptorium.org/ftp/rock/bbear.nwc It is a fife and drum piece which contains rolls, flams (double strokes?) ruffs (a.k.a half drags, or 3-stroke rolls). It uses a hidden staff to play the drumming, and a visible staff to show it. the "info" in the piece gives more details. It does require the "slurs" font, downloadable from the scriptorium, to properly show some of the standard drumming notation.

William, thank you for sharing this file.  I hadn't realized NWC could reproduce the drum as nicely as that.
