Why not include also a \layout{} block to see what LilyPond does
when it expands the \repeat unfold commands?

I hope you know that <<...>> means "play things in parallel".
If you want things played in a sequence, you enclose the sequence
in curly braces, {...}, instead. However, for some intricate reasons
your example does actually give a sequence anyway.

Also, do you have any specific reason to explicitly specify a DrumVoice
only for the first section? Why not include all the piece in the same
DrumVoice context, or simply remove the "\new DrumVoice{", since
LilyPond will create one automatically anyway..

As has already been pointed out earlier, you should use \repeat unfold 6
if you want something repeated 6 times.
