I would agree.

A \drumcombine probably wouldn't work.

Mainly because I want to notate each drum kit instrument as a separate
voice.  This is what I do with the software I normally use.  It's
called drumburp and it generates drum tabs.  It has a separate row for
each instrument and then I add the note to the correct row.  I have to
first set the subdivisions for the bar.

What I don't like about drumburp is that there is a lot of mouse
clicking.  I would rather type  using lilypond notation for note values
and rests.  Or some text notation that could then be translated to
lilypond.  Or use midi as an intermediary file and parse it with
different note groups as voices.

I think those are the only options.
