Here's how I'd do the OP example, incorporating your flam macro from 
another thread:

-----------------------------------
\version "2.12.2"

qBeam = {
 #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 8 * *) 1 4 'Staff)
 #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 8 * *) 2 4 'Staff)
}

snflam = \drummode {
 \override Stem #'length = #4.5
 \acciaccatura {sn8}
 \revert Stem #'length
}

tomflam = \drummode {
 \override Stem #'length = #4.5
 \acciaccatura {toml8}
 \revert Stem #'length
}

global = {
 \time 3/4
 \set beatLength = #(ly:make-moment 1 16) 
 \set subdivideBeams = ##t 
}

test = \drummode {
 \qBeam

\tomflam sn8-> sn8:32 ~ \stemDown \times 2/3 {toml16 sn toml} \tomflam 
sn16. toml32 \times 2/3 {sn16 toml sn} \snflam toml8

\tomflam sn8-> sn8:32 ~ \stemDown \times 2/3 {toml16 sn toml} \tomflam 
sn16. toml32 \times 2/3 {sn16 toml sn} \snflam toml8
}

\score {

 \new DrumStaff { \global \test }
   
 \layout {
   \context {
     \DrumStaff
     \override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #1
     \override BarLine #'bar-size = #4  % you need this to see the 
barlines on a single-line drum staff
   }
 } % close layout
} % close score

----------------------------------------------

For a drum part with two lines of notes, I'd do it this way; the 
\voiceOne and \voiceTwo automatically take care of stem directions.

\version "2.12.2"

up = \drummode { notes go here }

down = \drummode { notes go here }

\score {
  \new DrumStaff
  <<
     \new DrumVoice { \voiceOne \up }
     \new DrumVoice { \voiceTwo \down }
  >>

  \layout { include the stuff from the above example, if necessary }

}
