Thank you all! I tested it and it works! But is there a solution
for a chord with different note heads (the drummer plays
the bass drum and a tom-tom simultaneously).

I tried:

  cr = {
       \property Voice.NoteHead \set #'style = #'cross 
  }

  tria = {
       \property Voice.NoteHead \set #'style = #'triangle
  }

...

  <\cr d \tria f>

but both notes are triangles :-(

Furthermore: As I made an error in LilyPond installation 
procedure I incidentally  saw a 4rd symbol: It was
simply a fat line. So I assume there is still a 4rd
drum symbol hidden somewhere in LilyPond.(?)
